* ''Mall Madness'', as its title suggests, takes place entirely in a mall. Depending on the edition you buy, the layout is arranged as either a rectangle or a square, with the stores all facing inward around the perimeter, and the goal is to fill up your purchases card and leave before the other players. Spaces like an arcade or food court act as dummy spots for the computer voice to send you on your turn, although later editions might grant you a bonus for making the detour.

* Throughout TheEighties, the mall concert circuit was a thriving one. Used by several independent and national promoters to increase artist visibility in the youth demographic, Tiffany was the most famous artist to come into the mainstream this way, but she was by no means the only one. Watch any given teen/family sitcom from the '80s long enough, and eventually you'll find an episode featuring a fleetingly popular pop act throwing a concert a mall.
