Greetings from Arizona

I am called Isaac and I've been into the arcade collecting hobby for nearly 6 years. I don't remember if I ever introduced myself before but if not, here we go! Right now I have 22 games, a broke claw machine that I'll get to...someday, and an Iceball machine. All my video arcade games are from the 80s. I only collect games I've enjoyed when I was younger or games I think are fun. I have had some 90s games like NBA Jam and House of the Dead but ended up selling those for some iconic 80s games.

I'm currently jumping between a few projects which include a Dig Dug, Battlezone, Gauntlet, and Tron. Tron and Gauntlet are playable but need art and maybe some tweaking. My Battlezone monitor needs fixed to play. Dig Dug needs serious cabinet work and at this point is just an empty cabinet.

I'm an electrician doing mostly commercial and industrial work but do residential once in awhile. I have a wife and two adult sons that I drag with me whenever I need help picking up games. The road trips are nice.

I also collect nostalgic toys, electronics, and whatever reminds me of what I consider better times... at least in my life. I guess that's enough about me. I'm looking forward to hanging out in John's Arcade. Let's make this a kickass year!
