What Was The Name Of Your Arcade Growing Up? Describe it.
Dazz:
The Gold Mine at Six Flags Mall - Arlington, Texas
Dark, Cold and Loud. Ahh, it was the perfect 80's arcade.

Was that the one which had the full size carousel inside? I used to get helium balloons with clown faces there (I was still a bit too young to play the games)
Edit: Nevermind, I remember now - that one was at Forum 303 Mall a few minutes south. I've forgotten its name.

My local pinny joint was called "Freedom", which to us kids was a totally apt name.
Ugly beige shag pile carpet that you could shuffle your feet along and build up enough static electricity that when you touched a coin against the metal coin door of the Space Invaders machine, the zap would generate anywhere between 1 and 10 credits (true story, used to do it myself!)
The bloke who owned it was very nice, well dressed and friendly - so it was a bit of a shock when we found out he'd got busted for being a dealer. :police:

Tilt
It was in a mall.
Full of skaters & potheads playing Rush, Killer Instinct, Time Traveler, Bride of Pinbot & etc.
I loved it, fit right in 8)
Haterot:
It was called "Spaceport" a long hallway type arcade in the mall, placed perfectly right next to the Orange Julius and the Spencers Gifts. So much to do so much to do.
