My dad was an operator,  we always had +/- 25 machines in the warehouse next to our house, machines that where just repaired. So i had an arcade next our house :)

I had a birthday birthday party at a place called called R-place in Huntington long island New York. They put all the games on free play and and let the birthday boy play the crane game till you won. I think that was the first time I played Gantlet.

Chuck E Cheese was and adventure land were the only other real arcades around me in the 90's, thought I loved double dragon at the bulling ale.

The Northridge Mall had The Space Station, which they eventually moved outside to make room for a food court.  The movie theater inside the mall had crystal castles, karate champ and a couple of others that I don't remember.  Across the street from the mall was the Malibu Grand Prix that they used in the Karate Kid.  Another place within bike distance was this odd restaurant called Flakey Jakes.  Gauntlet and Double Dragon were the big ones there.  That and of course melted cheese.  It was a burgers and fries place with a toppings bar and you could dump as much melted cheese as you wanted to on everything you ordered.

Good memory , I was there . I was there at all of them , don't forget Shakeys pizza had a few .
