My arcade BITD was called Fun City at the Park City Mall in Lancaster, PA. Had over 100 machines (verified by archived news article). Had billiards tables, air hockey, two rows of pinball machines, projector games and video arcade games. I know of nobody that has a working projector game - they all seem to have gone the way of the dinosaur. But they were very popular.

Sadly, I know of nobody that has pictures of this arcade. Back then, I would have never thought to take pictures because arcades would always be around.

My other hangout was my local bowling alley Lancaster Lanes which no longer exists either. They had a game room with billiards tables, two or three pins and maybe 7 video arcade games.

Good times.
