Just For Fun: Town & Country Mall

You are here:
"Just for Fun" was a popular arcade located within the Town & Country Mall in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Situated adjacent to the movie theater, it became a favorite spot for both children and adults, offering a variety of arcade games and a notable ticket/prize counter. In the 1990s, "Just for Fun" served as a location for Konami and Bally-Midway to test new games, including titles like X-Men and Mortal Kombat.

The Town & Country Mall faced a decline in the early 2000s, leading to the closure of many of its establishments, including "Just for Fun." By 2004, the mall had undergone significant transformations, with parts being converted into a strip center.
