Anyone ever heard of "Pocket Change" arcade?

Pocket Change was pretty big here too. They had a location in the Fox River Mall (it's now a hair salon ), and were one of the last businesses to move out when the Valley Fair Mall sank. It was kinda surreal -- 80% of the mall was just closed off, big metal gates and everything, and there was Pocket Change. They must've been getting a damn good deal on that rent.

There's a thread that user pocketchange created specifically talking/asking about the Valley Fair location. In correspondence he send me the link to his website, where it shows his arcade dedicated to this location: http://www.freewebs.com/pocketchange1984/ . Although it won't be relevant to most of you, it's still pretty cool.

There used to be a Pocket Change in the Joliet mall by me. Some years ago it changed over to "Tilt". Which I believe is also a chain. Now it's mostly redemption games with a few cabs scattered about i.e. Fighting games, cruisins, and stuff like that.
