Cyberstation: Diamond Run Mall

Space 450 of Rutland’s Diamond Run Mall housed a Cyberstation arcade beginning in 1997, offering a compact selection of Namco’s token-operated video games and ticket-redemption machines. Though not a full-size Aladdin’s Castle, Cyberstation’s Cyber Fighter cabinet and claw machines provided a taste of arcade thrills in the mall’s northeast wing.

Diamond Run Mall itself opened in 1995 and was a regional draw until its closure and demolition in 2019; contemporary mall-walker blogs note that the Cyberstation kiosk lingered into the mid-2000s despite declining foot traffic.

Today, the former site is a mixed-use development, but Rutland nostalgia forums still recall the hum of Cyberstation’s cabinets and the bright LED marquees that punctuated the food court area.
