Thanks for sharing, of course. I think your story would have been even more relatable for some readers (definitely myself) if you had mentioned roughly what year, and which country or at least part of the world you grew up in. I have no idea if that is radical of me (doxxing etc), just wanted to mention it.

It was obvious to me that they were talking about Pakistan 20 years ago.

As the other reply says the CD shop thing should’ve been a big hint for example https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Centre,_Karachi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Centre,_Karachi

The local arcade in bazar has to be 90s to early 2000s. Then it was around 2010s when I noticed absence of arcade shops. And I am from Pakistan and have lived in Punjab (which is size of UK) for almost all my life in its different cities. Lahore is one of the largest cities. A fun saying about Lahore is that "if you haven't seen Lahore, you are not even born yet" (original line is in Punjabi).
