We basically had 3 arcades around where I lived. One was at the mall, one at the bowling alley and the one at the indoor flea market dirt mall.

Mall was the best and always had the newer stuff but the bowling alley had new stuff too that the mall didn't, like Mortal Kombat. I still remember kids talking at school about the Sub Zero fatality and everyone wanted to see it. So we would all stand around watching the older kids play Mortal Kombat and pray that we would see a fatality. Now the flea market had older stuff but it was still cool because they had weird stuff like the Hercules pinball which was a giant oversized pinball machine and those old circus type rides with a little seat you sit in. They finally closed the flea market arcade a few years ago which sucked because they still had Spy hunter and The Simpsons which was great to go and play once and awhile.

Arcade at the mall besides the movies was the play to be and hang out of Friday nights and the weekend. It was one of the only places where you could smoke cigarettes outside and not get hassled and hang out with older kids. My sister was 2 years older than me so I knew alot of people who could hook me up. People would have sex behind the basketball hoops machine in the back corner and would smoke outside in their cars. As for what anon said about the guy giving quarters to sit on his lap, there were a few weirdos like that around like at the bowling alley. There was this dirty old man who would buy kids hotdogs and soft pretzels for a kiss.
