    I hate to bring this thread back to life, but it still pains me to this day that this arcade is closed, especially considering I grew up at that mall, and still go weekly. I remember lurking and reading this thread when it was first started, haha. I even just bought a house in Wayne. I have fond memories of the area, even though I always lived in Paterson.

    It doesn't look like it's coming back, does it?

    I keep hearing rumors from people that the owners plan to open a new arcade in the section where the Westbelt mall used to be (you know, the junky mall in the same lot next to Willowbrook) once it's rebuilt/revitalized. I think it's wishful thinking, though.

    Yeah man, I'm still a weekly walker of the Willowbrook Mall ... it was my childhood hang-out for sure and I've enjoyed many an evening at Fun & Games.

    It sucks that it's gone, really does. The games and pinballs there were SO well-maintained ... whoever the tech guy(s) was/were, my hat goes off to them for years of excellent service.

    I have no insider info as to whether or not the owner is going to resurface with anything in this area but I recall hearing that he moved to another state. (maybe even somewhere in this thread).

    Holy bringing back a thread from the dead!

    If any of you are familiar with the Wayne Hills Mall (or as I call it the wayne hills mausoleum) the arcade in there is gone (as is pretty much every other store).

    Sigh.

    If this was in my neck of the woods I would seriously consider the SF Anniversary cab .
