Orange Park Mall near Jacksonville opened in 1975, and by the early 1980s an Aladdin’s Castle arcade occupied Unit 1096 just off the food court. Shoppers’ guides from the late ’80s advertised “Pac-Man & Prizes” Saturdays, and longtime locals recall bustling lines for Street Fighter II and Daytona USA during the ’90s boom.
The arcade closed in the early 2000s amid mall renovations, but photos of its neon marquee still circulate on Jacksonville nostalgia blogs.
