7-Eleven was synonomous with childhood. Ride your bikes over, buy a slurpee and candy bar, buy a comic book, and play QBert or Pac-Man until you got the high score. On a road trip not long ago we went to a 7-Eleven in a small town and they surprisingly still had arcade games, but for the most part I know most 7-Eleven got rid of them. See where the ATM is? That's where the arcade games once were. Once they disappeared 7-Eleven was never the same. -- Submitted By: (kingbk) on December 27, 2010, 3:19 pm - (1 votes)

The no arcade thing is a good reason. As a kid, I only knew mostly of my local 7-11 which had arcade games, but I never knew that a lot of others had them too. However, IMO, there weren't too many things sweeter than playing an aracade game, drinking a slurpee and eating as slim jim. Thats the all American combo. -- Submitted By: (phil610) on December 26, 2010, 9:23 pm - (0 votes)

I go in here all the time when I was a kid. We ride our bikes down the street and go in for candy after we turn in pop bottles at the safeway for some change. I still think about that when i stop in a 7-11. It never boned. -- Submitted By: (shanequia) on October 5, 2009, 9:33 am - (0 votes)

No more arcades? That's a good reason. I remember when I was a little kid, I'd walk to the local 7-Eleven, buy myself a slurpee, and play the arcade game until it was time to go home or I got bored with it. It's since been arcade-less for the longest time. It seems every place which is not an arcade place is bent on eradicating arcade games, not just 7-Eleven. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on June 8, 2009, 12:12 pm - (0 votes)
