Arcade: 2084

A unique arcade club based on an original story that blurs the lines between the fantastic and the real.

Between 2020-2025, guests travel through time, to a neighborhood arcade cabaret in the mid-1980s, and inside, THE BAR THAT TIME FORGOT, a speakeasy-style full bar with world-class cocktails could be discovered...

The real 80s. Feel it.

Classic arcade games are just part of the truthfully 80s atmosphere that transports you across time to much more chill vibe than anywhere else on Earth.

The lounge between the game floor and Bar That Time Forgot emulates cabaret styles emerging from the 1970s, featuring timeless nightclub elements. A DJ produces the ideal soundtrack of 80s pop rock, new wave, R&B, rap, metal, disco, classic rock and more of what people really heard in the 80s.

"Needlessly Detailed"

Operators of arcades in the 80s frequently created a sci-fi theme, and maybe a simple backstory.

For some, like Willamette Week, FOX12, or any other shallow local news coverage, unexpected narrative depth from an arcade, places previously seen as mundane, could make any story presented seem "needlessly detailed", and not even worth mentioning to their audience.

Arcade:2084 believes you have become more sophisticated than that, and appreciate a rich storyline with deep characters, human interest, and action.

Arcade:2084 honors the tradition of creating a fun arcade backstory, while respecting the intelligence and tastes of the modern audience.
The creator of Arcade 2084 proudly presents a sexy, orginal time-travel story in the vein of HEAVY METAL, upon which Arcade 2084 is based:
TIME SHUTTLE CHRONICLES

- WILLAMETTE WEEK
