The one at Marlborough was a Laser Illusions I believe. I used to be an arcade junkie back when I was a kid. I loved going to Sunridge because they had a Wizards Castle there. I believe Chinook had a Laser Illusions as well. I used to love going to malls that I know had an arcade, and dreaded malls without one. Heck, I even liked going to Brentwood mall because they had an arcade there. I remember playing Street Fighter 2 for the first time ever there.

It does bring a tear to my eye seeing the death of arcades. But things evolve over time, and with console capabilities matching arcades, I do see why people would rather sit at home and play online than to fork out a loonie for 10 minutes of playtime at an arcade.
