Hello from Michigan!

Hello everyone from Kalamazoo, Michigan!

It's been my dream for many years to have my own home arcade and am now starting to realize that dream with my family.  I started out with some pinball machines last year (Iron Man and Pirates of the Carribean) and just picked up my first two standup cabinets last weekend (Ms. Pac-Man and Jr. Pac-Man field kit conversion in a Pac-Man cabinet).  While in decent shape I'm already working on stripping down the pieces to restore.

I have great memories of growing up in a local arcade called Star World and in a world of console games, cell phones and tablets, I want to pass similar memories on to my children of real, original gaming.

Hello fellow Michigander!

Hey did you find that Jr Pacman on Craigslist? I was looking at that. I'm in the Detroit area but I always check on Craigslist in the Kalamazoo area too. That's a game that is not on my list of must haves but when I saw it on Craigslist it caught my eye just because it was interesting. Sounds like it went to a good home.

Nope, wasn't that one.

I actually was up in Lansing last weekend visiting my brother-in-law and went to his new business location and there they were, buried and sitting in the back of the garage.  I immediately asked him send a text to the building's owner and he said he had sat on them for 9 years hoping to get to them as a project someday and never did so he offloaded it what I considered a steal of a price.

Wish I could always find those!
