There are so many neighborhoods inside the city of Chicago, that had at least one Arcade, with games like Donkey Kong and Pacman. It all began around 1979 with Space Invaders in some locations, by 1982 there were hundreds of locations inside the city.

Please give us your story of visiting the arcades back in the day.

Rubus Game Room on State and Elm. Then Rubus Jungle on Rush street which oddly enough had bumper cars. Rubus Jungle didn't last long.

Peacock alley at Ford City Mall, I think it was called Merlins Castle. I also remember Fun Zone (maybe) on Archer and Pulaski.

I fell in love with the game APB, so much so, that I bought it when I purchased my house.
