An Atari joystick.

Welcome to RaidersOfTheLostArcade.com!

RaidersOfTheLostArcade.com, or ROTLA for short, is dedicated to unearthing those nearly-forgotten relics from videogaming's golden-age, a magical epoch from the late 1970's to the mid-80's. We've been collecting "vintage" computers, video-game consoles, commercial arcade games, and related memorabilia for over twenty years now. We've paid our dues and spent way too much time at countless flea markets, yard sales, auctions, and thrift stores looking for just one more remnant from videogaming and home computing's early days.

If this sounds like you, then you're in the right place, brothers and sisters! After all this time, and faced with pallets of collectibles we could hardly keep track of any longer, we created this site in an effort to make sense of this mountain of stuff that had accumulated.

So welcome, fellow "arcadeologist"! Grab your trusty flashlight, extension cord, and tattered "want" list and come help us dig... we could use the help!
