DeKALB – Patrick O’Malley has been in the video game business since he was 12 years old.

“Star Worlds started out on Jan. 11, 1985,” O’Malley said. “My mom was part of the business back then because I was like 12 and I needed someone to sign rent documents and leases.”

Twenty-eight years later, O’Malley still co-owns Star Worlds Arcade at 1234 E. Lincoln Highway with Glenn Thomas. The arcade is one of the last remaining video game arcades in the country and was the subject of a recent 30-minute student documentary, “Star Worlds: A Pocket Full of Tokens and I'm Heading to the Arcade."
