Arcade in Montgomeryville Mall (Montgomeryville, PA)

There's been a small arcade in the Montgomeryville Mall near me for some time. I was at the mall yesterday (Labor Day) and saw that they'd moved and expanded!

Quick list of games:

Target Terror
Revolution-X
Air hockey table
V3
Hydro Thunder
Jumbo Safari
Nick Toons Racing
Eighteen Wheeler
Fast & Furious Super Bikes
Fast and the Furious - The Drift (2 seats)
Street Basketball (2 units)
Big Buck Hunter Pro
Big Buck Hunter Safari
Let's Go Jungle (enclosed sit-down version)
Boxing machine (2 units)

Several Claw Machines
Several Stacker / Road Trip type machines

Seems to be about 60/40 games to prize machine ratio. Be nice if the games were a little more out front (the prize machines take up the one side), but at least they are there.

It's an un-manned arcade, and they are now on the second floor at the end opposite JC Penny. (The anchor store at that end of the mall has been torn down, so they are pretty much at the end of the mall).

They've taken over the space formerly occupied by a pizza place. It's great for an arcade because it's open on two sides, making the space feel much wider.

As far as I could see all equipment was operating, and there were 3-4 people playing as I took a quick walk around. I didn't drop any money at the time, but I've put a few coins into their equipment at their old location downstairs.
 
No trade stickers on the machines like Apple Vending, Tri-Corp Amusements, etc?
Could be an arrangement with mall to fill empty storefronts and split the revenue.

Didn't see any (wasn't really looking). The fact that they've got 'Game Box Arcade' on the sign (and that they've got a sign at all) kind of says real arcade to me. Especially since someone had to do some demo work to that space before they could make an arcade out of it - used to have a big pizza oven and counters, etc. So it's not like they just moved into an empty storefront this time - someone spent some money and time to clear that stuff out.
