Game over: Arcade closing

AURELIUS - John Butler Jr. started working at the Fingerlakes Mall arcade in 1997, when the world of video games was a lot different. Home game systems were improving, but you still had to go to arcades for the best games and graphics, Butler said.

Though Fun & Games had survived the Xbox and PlayStation, it will close its doors for good Sunday. Arcade management said the mall is not going to renew its lease with the business that has operated next to the movie theater for more than 10 years.

Though the current owners have been at the mall for the past decade, an arcade has operated at the mall since its inception.
