Fun 'N' Games vanishes

After 33 years, the most historically significant video arcade in northern New Jersey has shut it's doors.

The closest amusement arcade is now some 40 minutes away.

In an area with some 12 million people, and among the richest int he nation, the arcade can no longer compete due to real estate and lease prices.

I grew up in this establishment since I was 12 years old.

What follows is the raw auction footage of this significant fixture of New Jersey.

  • There's actually rack n roll in Passaic with every game they had basically in it well itg which is all that matters lmao man do I miss fun and games this is depressing, and mark vv every video I fucking watch that is of fun n games or willowbrook mall you have commented on, you need a life babe

  • @themisiek2 well after they shut down f n g, all the new mall rats started movin in and literally the front entrance to the food court was just a swarm, but now its completly dead. you can catch a few here and there now a days but nothing compared

  • @Morbidvengeance91 I havent seen nearly as many rats at the mall anymore.

  • @themisiek2 fun n games is what kep the mall rats outta the mall. once fun n games closed all of them hung right in front of the foodcourt blockin all the shoppers paths n shit. honestly fun n games kept alot of ppl outta trouble now its chaos.

  • BRING BACK FUN N GAMES WTF

  • I remember going to Willowbrook back when I was a college student. It was a great place to play video games. While the best days of arcades have lost since gone, I still hate to see when one of these places closes down.

  • I heard the mall rats killed it. Willowbrook was crawling with rats until they shut it down. The rumor was some big important guys in charge of the store leases didn't let Fun N' Games renew their lease in order to decrease the rat population.

  • This is just flat out depressing, and I never thought the day would come when this legendary arcade would be no more. It was such a fine place to get your arcade fix, even if it (like just about every arcade) wasn't as good as it once was. I wonder if they're ever going to re-locate like they said they would, or if something will be done to the location where Fun N Games once was?

  • ah, i heard

  • EotB???
