Man, you guys brought back very similar memories from my childhood! I was a 90s kid, and I played a LOT at the Fun-N-Games at Lakeland Square Mall in Florida. I remember the place being PACKED in the mid-90s. They always had about 3-4 machines set up. I remember the vaulted linear mirror panel ceilings that were a staple at any Fun-N-Games (complete with that mall "food court smell"). Sadly, I also remember walking in one day and realizing it was the beginning of the end when I saw all of their machines tagged with "for sale" signs.
Ahh, what a memory! I appreciate you sharing.
