Title: a special breed
Post by: airsoftmodels on May 29, 2014, 10:14:15 am
i wonder what the percentage is of people in the world who own just one arcade game - not to mention owning over 20?  I would think that the percentage was quite low, considering the expense, the size of the machines, and the fact that they are 30 years old, getting harder to find.  collecting classic arcade games takes a special breed of person.  although i am unable to purchase a full size arcade at the present time, i appreciate those of you who do, especially when you allow the rest of us to enjoy the fruit of your labors from the sidelines.  i listen to the arcade outsiders podcast, watch the videos, participate in the forums, and search craigslist daily for classic games.  these things may seem trivial, but they make my life more enjoyable.  thank you for welcoming folks like me into your community.
