Let's see, she started with Ms Pac, then Dr. Mario, then Qbert. She played all of those games about one time each. Then she wanted a Theater of Magic after playing it at the POF. Looked for a TOM, but could only find an Arabian Nights (same designer) so I bought that instead. She never played it so I sold that to fund five years of pinball purchases. I then had to sell all my pins to fund a down payment on this lake house. Everything spent a year in storage, and then when we moved here, this room was literally designed to be dedicated to these machines, with her blessing. But once I got them in here, she's never liked it. We just had a discussion about it again this weekend. She's basically saying "I thought you were gonna turn that Arcade into more of a family friendly place." I said "what are you talking about? We've got games, bl carpet, sweet lighting, music, a beautiful booth I just built and a wonderful granite wet bar with full back bar. There's a dual basketball hoop in addition to arcade games, what else do I have to do?" She said "well I thought there would be less games and more couches and sitting areas and places to eat" and I'm like "what the hell do you think the booth i built is for?" and she's like "yeah but that's not really what I was thinking. I was thinking of something more elegant." It literally doesn't matter what I do I will never make this woman happy. And now her and my oldest boy gang up on me with what the direction of the game room should be going forward. He wants a pool table, she wants seating and all but 2 games gone.
