    I think I picked up an Atomiswave board from the first guy in person once before.

    The second guy's collection is something out of a museum. If I had the space, I would be able to have the craziest arcade known to man, but I don't. I need a warehouse with little to no rent in order to do something that I want to do....

    I've started to assemble a fairly large collection, but alas, space is a huge issue after getting 16 games (not to mention the weight of just dealing with them).

    I've started to sell off some of my machines and just keep a few core ones (Robotron, Gyruss, Tempest, Quartet, Sinistar)

    On our next house, and hopefully our last one, I suspect I will plan to build a large arcade on the property and finally assemble the arcade I really want.

    It takes a special kind of nut to recreate an arcade at that scale. It's a good thing I'm retarded enough to try.

    Hahahahaha. That is the funniest thing I think I've heard! It has a ring of truth to it too.

    No different than guys building a 4 car garage for their classic cars, and far better than guys who have enormous model railroads.
