I'm a nostalgic SOB. Sometimes I like to hop onto the arcade tracker and view the old arcades I used to play at and see how they are. Unfortunately, some of my favorite places to play have closed down and no longer show up on the map.
Is there a way to view a closed arcade? Either via a direct link or special search?
Perhaps it would be a good idea to have a checkbox to "Show closed locations"? Or, have an option to choose what date range you would like to search? That way you could compare arcade locations in 2010 with current locations today?
I would like to think that for historical reasons, if not nostalgia, it might be worth being able to view closed arcades so someone could go back and check what machines they had when or look at the photos as a "snapshot" in time of what the place was like.
Anyways, that's my request. I hope it's something that is possible.

It seems if you search the arcades map and select a country, it shows up closed arcades too. I was able to view Namco Funscape in London this way, which closed more than a month ago.
