    More than one room for games

    I just bought a new house and will be getting my games out of storage after 2 long years. I plan on the garage, the family room, and one bedroom to be games. Hoping they all fit 🤞. I also have a couple in my office. The thing I am most excited about with the new place is I will have a...

    Shipping a Game from Canada

    This is great advice. I do the drive to the border often, my parents retired in Omak, WA. I could just stay the night with them, pick up the game, and head back.

    Shipping a Game from Canada

    The VAG (Vintage Arcade Gal) Price Guide Update!

    Here is my list of games, what I paid for them, what condition they are in, what Exidy values them at, what Cassandra's book values them at, and what I estimate them to be worth. Not every game matches up perfectly, but I thought it was amazingly consistent. This is just an FYI for people...

    Child killed by arcade game.

    When I had games on location every time I would go to empty them I would see signs of tampering, ie paper clips stuck in locks, pry marks, even a coin on a string stuck in the acceptor, so I decided to put up cameras. The first time I checked the footage I immediately decided to pull my games...

    Here Is Something That Doesn’t Happen Every Day.

    Nice! I found out a guy that lived down the street was also a collector through a CL ad. I have bought a few games from him, but never for that good of a deal! Congrats on the score!

    Finally grabbed a Boot Hill!!

    I've been looking for a Boot Hill forever, I have fond memories of playing this game with my dad when I was a kid. My game buying is on hold for a bit for personal reasons, but this game will definitely be on my list when I start buying again.
