Pretty funny arcade clip starting at 7:00. Did this place exist? Miss the days of multiple games even with covered Ms. Pac Marquees.

 
I'm 99% sure that is NOT Castle Golf in Sherman Oaks (now known as Castle Park).
 
Might not really be any game... I notice a lot of shows just use stock sound effects when they need sounds for games. (such as Atari 2600 pacman sounds when a kid in a show is playing a gameboy).
 
I'm totally opening an arcade with vapid blonde chicks on rollerskates selling tokens. Brilliant.
 
When I think of the best theme for an arcade , I always think of a Castle .

I guess maybe because I went to alot of Castle arcades as a kid ?
 
Curious as to why they would black out the marquee's? And if it was money for trademark stuff, who would want the money, Chips for promoting the games or IE Midway for the usage of their games? Seems like such a small scene that it wouldn't matter, but it is hollywood so who knows?
 
Pretty sure that blonde chick is the love interest from Weird Science.

It is. Suzanne Snyder.

its weird they taped over all the marquee I'm guessing they added sounds to avoid copyrights on the game sound?

ummm
 
I really miss arcades like that. Nowadays, even if it's laid out the same with the same games and decor, it's just not the same feel.....sad....
