Aladdin’s Castle: Ohio Valley Mall

Ohio Valley Mall in St. Clairsville, Ohio opened in 1978. An Aladdin’s Castle arcade soon occupied space along the Sears wing, promoted in *The Intelligencer* (Wheeling) as a “Family Fun Center” in a 1988 holiday insert.

Region-wide gamers remember its four-player Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cabinet and weekly high-score contests. The arcade closed in the early 2000s; its former storefront is now retail, but eastern-Ohio mall blogs still post images of its mirrored entrance.
