I remember back in the day, every mall used to have, usually located in the extreme polar regions of its most underused wing, a large arcade blinking and thrumming with the sights and sounds of console video games. Hugely popular hangouts for the kids either after school, or while their parents were shopping.

Haven't seen one like it in decades. I can't imagine they still exist, not with home video game systems, and streamed programming.
