Victoria Mall opened in 1981 along N. Navarro Street and soon leased Suite 259 to Aladdin’s Castle. Regional newspaper ads from *The Victoria Advocate* (3 Dec 1990) promoted “Holiday Token Blitz” at the arcade, which boasted a coveted four-player Turtles in Time cabinet.
The arcade closed around 2004 amid a shift to lifestyle tenants. Although the space now hosts a salon, Victoria-area forums still swap stories of Friday-night Mortal Kombat marathons beneath AC’s neon-star logo.
