If I had to guess, I'd say 1984 or 1985. Like I said, I only ever got to go to that one a couple of times; it was a good hike from where we lived in the San Fernando Valley.

Not those ones - but I did go to the one at the Sherman Oaks Galleria quite a few times when we were there to see movies; IIRC, it was pretty close to the cinema. Stuff they had that sticks out in my mind: Star Wars cockpits (2), Krull (in fact, nearly all Q*Bert-hardware Gottlieb titles were there), Astron Belt and Galaxy Ranger, Subroc 3-D. I think that arcade (possibly from before it was a Sega Centre) was visible in one of the mall scenes in 'Fast Times At Ridgemont High'.

Don't recall that one, but I was never much for the beach. I do remember Starcade at Disneyland going from one level on the ground floor to two with the escalator inside between them right after Tron came out, though. Played a fair bit of Cinematronics' Space War there.
One more for the 'must be saved' list: bootlegs, especially the ones hacked to run on other-than-original hardware which gives them weird side effects. Anything in the Crazy Kong on Scramble hardware league, essentially.
