I’m Jamie.  I grew up in the Pittsburgh area but now live in Columbus, Ohio.   I own to Jamma games in homemade cabinets .  The Joust has about 130 games; the Galaga has 60.  I’ll post a picture below.  I want one original game before I die.  I am on craigslist every day looking.   A Mad Planets, Tron or Elevator Action would be great to own.  But with space and money, this is all I can have at the moment.  And yes...it sucks that I dont have real pixelated monitors.  I had a dedicated Galaga cocktail I promised to my wife I'd sell if I got the two I have now.  It had a real monitor and everything.  I wish I still had it.  These LCD screens I have now are SO not the same.

I think whats great about our generation is…Not only can we tell people what games we played growing up, but we can tell you WHAT ARCADE/STORE/HOTEL we used to play them at!

I don’t know the first thing about restoring games.  But I watch every damn minute of John’s videos...even though I only understand about 20% of what he’s doing.
Here’s some of my little bar at home:
