There was a time when the American shopping mall was the undisputed center of our video game universe, and for those of us in Portland, the massive Lloyd Center was that place. You didn't just buy a cartridge; you experienced the neon glow of the arcade, the laminated game slips at Toys "R" Us, and the cramped racks at Kay-Bee Toys. Those memories were just as important to our childhoods as the games themselves. Now those spaces are disappearing. Lloyd Center was once a titan of Pacific Northwest retail, but it is now preparing to permanently close its doors. Today it sits as a fascinating, echoing liminal space existing in a post-supernova collapse. This documentary essay explores the intertwined history of American shopping mall culture and video games. We track the rise of the late 1970s arcades, the 16-bit retail zenith of the 90s, and the slow decline brought on by big box stores, the Amazon effect, and the shift to digital media. Before the demolition crews arrive to retrofit suburbia into mixed use neighborhoods, let's take one last walk through the empty corridors and reconcile our memories of what we lost.
