It also had some really early "vr"; there was a street fighter or mortal kombat controller adaptation where a camera watched you and you'd throw a punch to throw a punch etc. I remember tix to get in there were only $15. This was back when Vegas was still trying to be a Family Destination.

Anyway there was a 50 or 60 foot climbing wall that went up through this 3-story building. There was some sort of reward if you climbed it; can't remember. I scaled that fucker at like 10 years old, definitely pre-everquest for me, with mom cheering me on & everybody was floored. one of my dearest memories. indoor climbing is rly fun .
Hahaha, you know gameworks is still here in seattle! But man that place has seen better days.. Any time i go with a buddy, somebody gets stuck on a machine with a janky joystick or buttons that don't work..

Tryin to battle the homies in street fighter, and i can only do a light punch and move forward in direction.. Real fair!!!!!!
