RETRO ARCADE @MURAL 2026
Play real Tetris, Sega, Super Mario, and other 80s and 90s legends for free!
Where to find usA slice of the 90s in the heart of Montreal's street art scene
We're a team of enthusiasts who grew up on Tetris, Sega, and Super Mario, and we've decided to bring the magic of arcades back to the city's most creative district. Right on Saint-Laurent Boulevard, amid murals and graffiti, we've opened a free gaming oasis where classics meet contemporary street art. For kids, it's a first encounter with legends, for adults, a ticket back to childhood, and for everyone, pure nostalgia and the vibrant vibe of Montreal.

The legends we grew up on - now it's your turn
From the original NES to the Sega Mega Drive, every console in our collection is steeped in history. We've amassed a treasure trove of classics from the 80s and 90s, from the legendary Tetris to the fireballs of Street Fighter II. Everything runs on authentic hardware, no emulation—just the crunch of a cartridge and the squeak of a joystick. Come, choose your legend, and hit the start button.

Link to the official program of the MURAL festivalPixels, murals, and smiles – remembering the best shots
Every year, the MURAL Festival transforms Saint-Laurent Boulevard into an open-air gallery. Artists from around the world, live music, and an unmistakable Montreal atmosphere. In 2026, our Retro Arcade will be added to the mix—and we're already preparing a corner of pixelated nostalgia for you. See what the festival was like, and imagine what it will be like with Tetris, Sega, and Super Mario.
