Old school gamers remember Lazer Illusions at Brentwood Mall.

I remember that they had 5 original Street Fighter 2 cabinets beside one another.

The first time I saw the game, the fight counter read "Battle 99"

You guys are remembering things about metrotown that went away like in the last 5-10 years wtf are you guys 15



i remember metro when there was no Eatons side (huh? wtf is Eatons?)


and Playdiums original Restaurant was great (before they down sized it) its a shame it was too loud in there for anyone other than kids/teens to eat in though

rainforest cafe tasted like shit but looked great

but metrotown of today is still better, shame it killed station squares theatre/arcade though

Back in the day, Station Square had two theaters, and they would be pretty packed.

I think there's only one left now.

^ They did, you just didn't read every comment lol. The skywalk was nothing special other than it was cluttered and crowded and I hated walking over to the other side.

Remember when there was no silvercity/playdium/gizmos/spencers. Then they had that giant construction going on to make room for silvercity and such.

The famous players and cineplex at station square. Super busy... now its a ghost town.

Both the old food courts. When T&T was a smaller supermarket compared to the size it is now.

Safeway stores back then were like zits. They'd pop up out of nowhere and dissapear without being noticed.

Having said that, I don't recall one at metrotown.

Before Rainforest Cafe, wasn't it a Planet Hollywood?

I really don't remember a safeway being where the T&T is.

*Edit*

Searched the internet and before the Rainforest Cafe and Chapters, it was Brettons.

Lazer Illusions was the best arcade. Nice and cheap and fun games.
