Pin Pan Alley
Pin Pan Alley was a chain of amusement arcades originally owned by Burton Popowcer, then sold in 1983 to Bally Amusements, which in turn was later acquired by the Hilton Group. It operated numerous arcades throughout the Midwest from the late 1970s until the early 1990s. Its games included actual pinball machines, video consoles and some redemption games and other games.[1][2][3]
[4][5][6][7]
Rooms in Pin Pan Alley arcades each had their own theme. The chain referred to its branches as "game challenge centers" and had seven of them in May 1982.[8]
