From the Daily Cal - Sept. 13, 2004:

"The Berkeley campus also offers its own video game facility. The Bearcade, operated by the ASUC, features arcade games and two pool tables for UC Berkeley students, though it also tends to attract more high school customers, said Alex Ngo, a former Bearcade employee.

Because of a Berkeley city regulation banning arcades, the Bearcade is the only arcade located within the city’s limits.

But the facility has not generated a great profit for the past couple years, said ASUC President Misha Leybovich.

While the ASUC has not discussed any reforms for the business, Leybovich said he is interested in seeing how successful a business like gLAB would be because of what it can tell the Bearcade about developing customer needs.

“Maybe (LAN games) are what people are more interested in now,” he said.” "
