We usually hit the dave and busters in the gold coast area--girlfriend used to live right there so it made a neat friday night date--play some star wars while she was scoring tickets on those coin drop games (why any would throw a token into a game with no screen is beyond me :P)

The GameWorks in Shaumburg is accessible by public transportation.

Most malls around here will have a small arcade.

Union Station has a small (6 to 8 games) arcade next to the Grand Hall.

GnatEye,

I haven't been to FunZone in twenty years. I used to hang out there after school (and some times during school ;) ) when I went to Lane Tech back in 1979, 80 and 81. I remember it being one of the most brightly lit arcades that I have ever seen.

There used to be another arcade on Westerm that was directly across the street from Lane Tech, near the book store.  It was originaly called "Dennis the Menace Spaghetti House" or something like that. They had the games up on the second floor with almost no lighting at all.  Later the name changed and they moved the games down to the first floor.  

Is that place still around?

rampy:
does the pier have an arcade?
