- To clarify anyone curious about Horowitz' "Moroccan-themed" comment on Sega City Irvine, the Spectrum Center was designed as like an outdoor Moroccan-style bazaar with like shops on the left and right of an outdoor walkway with like shades and covers over top and palm trees and stuff. Once you got into Sega City's doors, all of that disappeared. Speaking of:
- Frick I forgot the name of it, but there was this brief time in the 90s where this like- industrial art design/typeface/art style was showing up... like a 90's factory-industrial-angled deal. I specifically remembered Sega City Irvine popping up a lot in those examples, and it was a DANG good example. It was really cool, wish I could remember the name of it. But Sega City Irvine pushed this neat neo-industrial typeface thing that's juust barely relevant to this article. Find the name of it and that example.
- Sega City logo!
- Get this article linked from the Sega City page, and start gearing that page up for individual location pages etc. Normally I'd just have a list of locations like the Joypolis stuff etc, but there's really only a handful... maaaaaaybbeee do individual sections with MainArticles if we can afford the room, if not just a standard list like other articles etc
- Verify address. It's 5X0-6X0 Spectrum Center Drive, unless the Spectrum radically changed their unit addressing in the last couple of decades. Regardless, it was in the Spectrum's north-most building with the rounded+domed end thing (to the immediate West of the movie theatres).
- Barely relevant, but it had multiple entrances (at least one near each end of that center metal-grilled raised platform that ran down the center of the play area) and blacked-out/walled-off windows and exterior lighting. There was a bar at the end of this platform too (I remember seeing the Virtua Racing/fullsize F1 cabs on my right, and the bar in front of me, while standing in the center of the room.)
