The "Fun Time Arcade" at the Billerica Mall in Billerica, MA was probably my first arcade ever. The walls were carpeted in dark blue and they had Pinball and video arcade. What I remember fondly though was Mortal Kombat and the driving games. The arcade was located inside a mall and you would go there for a film in a theatre nearby, ice cream, pizza with a jukebox, all in 1 mall. I believe the last film I saw was "Starship Troopers" at that cinema.

I know it's a long shot but if the owner sees this then I hope he has more photo's or ANYBODY that went to this arcade. The entire mall became really abandoned and still is with a Planet Fitness and K-Mart being the only store open now. The only photo I have of the arcade is this one. The entrance did that sorta cool curve and curved to the right for the entrance. There was a bronze arrow that guided you and you can see the fading on the 80's wood paneling.

I know it's a major longshot but if anybody has more pics of the arcade could I see them? If I suddenly won the mega millions I would re-create that arcade.
