While we're talking old arcades, did anybody ever go to Pinocchio's in Bountiful? It was in Colonial Square. I was a real little guy when that place closed, but I still remember it vividly. On Wed, Mar 19, 2008 at 4:20 PM, Christopher Strong <strong@cs.utah.edu> wrote:

Was there ever a Space Port arcade out this way? Growing up in Champaign, IL that was the "big" arcade.
Not that I know of. There were the chain arcades, like "Tilt", "Aladdin's Castle" and "Gold Mine", all owned by N&D.
Then there were a lot of independent arcades. I was introduced to a number of games, including Star Castle and Crazy Climber at "Cricket's Arcade" at 3300 South and 2300 east, now a Dan's parking lot, just south of what is now a Tesoro station. At this time, that site was an older Rainbow or Amoco station, and Cricket's was another converted service station just to the south.
