Topic	Were arcades a big part of your life?
Revelation34 02/09/20 2:09:18 PM #58:	Alex1976 posted... Born in '76, saw arcade machines just about everywhere when I went shopping with my mom. Played my first game of Pac-Man at a roller skating place in San Diego, and as they say, the rest is history. Arcades started disappearing around 1984 or thereabouts, me and my family moved to Florida in October '85, and offhand the only arcades I knew were at Regency Square Mall and a local bowling alley. Said local bowling alley shut down when I was a sophomore in high school, and Regency Square Mall had an Aladdin's Castle and a Tilt at one point - only for both of them to shut down eventually (hell, Regency Square Mall is near deserted now). Actually now that I think about it mine would have been the exact same except it was an ice skating rink. They still had good arcades there even after the 80s. Just typically in a mall near movie theaters or at expensive theme parks. The Family Fun Center had a really good one. I think that place still exists but was bought out and renamed. I have no idea if it even still has an arcade. --- Gamertag: Kegfarms, BF code: 2033480226, Treasure Cruise code 318,374,355, Steam: Kegfarms <cite>Revelation34 posted [p:934148021] in Were arcad...
