Just Games – Mt. Prospect Algonquin

You are here:
Just Games Inc. operated a number of arcades in the Chicagoland area in the 1970s and 1980s. This location was located at the site of Briarwood Plaza. Briarwood Plaza was built in 1977, but we know that the arcade opened in Dec 1973 and was open at least through May 1976. We know that at least one of the Just Games Mt. Prospect locations existed through October 1986. Given the shooting associated with the Euclid location, it's fair to assume that this Algonquin location outlasted it.
