Hey,
this question is for the people near or in Ottawa. Does anyone remember the name of the arcade that was in the Pincrest Mall in west end Ottawa? It was around say between 1983 and 1986 or there abouts. I need the name to win a bet with a buddy of mine. Thanks.
Mike.

Geez, I remember that arcade now; no idea of the name; it was near the Scotiabank if I recall correctly.    When lucky we would to the Baseline/Woodroffe arcade, and when really luck the Billings Bridge "Future World" or something like that?  "Future World" had plastic cards "for members only"; I think the machines swiped your card instead of taking quarters.

Let us know the name if we you get it...

Are you referring to The Wizard in the Britannia area, across from the Britannia 6 theatres?
I had a birthday party or two there when I was a kid, great place.

I remember that arcade but that's not the one I was referring to. The arcade was located right inside the Pincrest Mall. The main anchors of the plaza were Loblaws and Zellers. The arcade was near an entrance to the plaza near the Loblaws. It had a hexagon entrance way. Man, just thinking about that place brings back lost of good memories. When Dragon's Lair arrived the line up to play went right out the door into the plaza. Kids were crazy then.

Wow, I grew up near there and never knew about that place!

Now my life is one big regret.

Hey jvegas, when are you gonna open up an arcade?
