I'm compiling a list of old-school and defunct arcades, along with memories associated with those establishments, for a writing project. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your experiences of gaming in these arcades.

Personally, I spent a lot of time at the Underground Arcade in Huntington Park, the Sassony in Downtown LA, and Japan Arcade in Little Tokyo, but I know there were countless more back in the 80s, 90s, and 00s. The ones I never went to for example is Family Arcade next to LACC (which I heard is pushing 40 years now) and the Santa Monica Pier one.

I made a similar post on the arcade subreddit, but that's for all the world, for now, I'm asking about this city. So if you guys could share some personal memories with me, could you please help?
