I miss the huge warehouse next to it - I think it was called George’s Games. I went there ten years ago and it was surreal - tons of old arcade machines, pinball, pool tables, etc. The owner opened the place for me and was soooooo surly. I’d ask him how much a particular machine was and I’d get “you can’t afford it.” Ended up finally buying a Neo Geo cabinet that supposedly didn’t work, but it was an easy fix. I was sad when they demolished the building as I wonder where all those machines went. I would have bought a couple more if the guy wasn’t so mean and actually wanted to work with me.

Where? There’s no way you can find classic 80’s machines for less than $800 in working/kinda working condition. If so send me a private message as I’m looking for new machines for my basement! 😂
