Atari Family Game Center
The Atari Family Game Center (Also known as the Atari Leisure Time Game Center(1) and Atari Game Center(2)), was a set of mall arcades predating the Pizza Time Theatre concept from April of 1974 to Spring of 1975.(3)
The arcades would exclusively house Atari arcade games, built with custom cabinets to fit the interior design of the locations. The locations would also offer pinball machines and a variety of board games to play. Patrons could also purchase their own Atari arcades from the store for individual use or for small private organizations.https://www.ataricompendium.com/archives/interviews/jerry_donaldson/interview_jerry_donaldson.html(4)
