They have these in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois now. Makes no sense.
Doesn't sound like the ideal location. But the ones I've seen in California, like the Grove and the Irvine Spectrum Center, are really nice

It's worse than a strip mall in the winters.
Wind tunnels at every turn.
And the car is somehow parked as far away as possible

The mall near me has a crappy little arcade crammed into a corner. If you're ever in southeast Michigan I'll show you.

i loved going to the arcades. They are mostly gone here, but there are some cool ones in the cities near the beach.
I miss them.

My childhood arcade closed about 10 years ago, but recently a new one opened up and I've been a few times with my nephews. It's always a good time.

They have a good mix. Lot's of racing, rhythm and fancy shooter games up front and then all the classics and pinball in the back.
They charge a flat fee for entry ($20) and the games are free to play, which I like. I don't really miss the cup full of quarters.

thats a very cool idea yeah.
Here you have to buy like a credit card and put money there to spent in the games. I wanna play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, X Men and something like Mortal Kombat, Final Fight or King Of Fighters.

Arcades were cool, but let’s not forget how amazeballs the advent of home gaming systems were.
The only arcades I really see anymore are at movie theaters, be they attached to malls or not.

Oh, and the beer arcades to appeal to Gen X nostalgia.
