I live in the mitten now but I grew up in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Does anyone have any pictures of this place. When they were located on 441 they had one of the biggest arcades I have EVER seen. It had 10-20 of everything! Later they moved to the old Malibu Go-Karts Track and the arcade wasn't quite as big...

I would love to see any pics from either location from back in the day!

They moved the location to I-95 between Griffin and Stirling Road in the mid 80's, then built a new huge second arcade with 4 mini-golf courses. The new place was awesome and continued to rock into the early 90's....

Sometime back they sold out to 'Boomers' , and it hasn't been the same. Was there recently on business and it's in a sad state. The Go-Kart arcade is boarded up, and the mini-golf arcade is sad assortment.

To the 80's!!!
 
I grew up in Plantation so I hung out there quite a bit. The only pics I have are outside at the Go Kart track at a birthday party I had there and they don't show much. I would love to see some pics of the arcade. I can still remember walking in and seeing 6 or 7 of every new game.

Speaking of Ft. Lauderdale - Does anyone have any pics of McSugar's? I even worked there one summer and don't have any pics.
 
Cooper City?! Hah - South Plantation all the way -

It seemed like they arcade wasn't as big when they moved to the Malibu Go-Kart location (it was still very large though). The crowd seemed to change there if I remember correctly and it got a bit rough in the evening. They were the best arcade though because they had 10 of everything, had all the old and new stuff, and set the machines to give extra lives (5 instead of 3). God, I would love to see some pics of the old place. The only ones I have are on the go-kart track from around 1978-1979...
 
What was the name of the ace off I-95 with the Castle, put-put courses, bumper boats and batting cage?!? They had a decent arcade in the castle... Kinda reminded me of the fun park in Karate Kid...
