Rest in peace, AC.

That is a true shame, I miss arcades so much. Though I do now wonder if Aladdin’s Castle was a franchise because I remember there being one at Hawthorn mall in Vernon Hills. That one closed down years ago though, that was a shame there were a lot of nice games, I have fond memories of Metal Slug X. Though I’m almost positive a near by restaurant got the neo.geo machine and it has like one game in there. The only thing I am near is Rink Side at Gurnee Mills (there may be DDR, but other than that there isn’t anything worth playing), though I do drive past a Game Works on the way to school and that is near Addison. I have yet to be there though.
Yep, the Aladdin’s Castle up here in Parma, Ohio is closed, too….it’s a shame, now the closest DDR machines are like 25-30 minutes away rather than 15 minutes away…..oh well.
