Gonna be on Channel 9 News (Denver) Tonight.

I had a friend just mention that "you only listed 56" games.. But I have 110 games, actual working uprights. The rest are in my garage, I did mention that but they "edited" that out. It doesnt matter anyway, because I probably have more games than you haters anyway

Jon

According to VAPS (and you know how accurate VAPS is!), 110 games doesn't put you in the top 50...but you're still about 10x as many games as ME!

Cool video Exidy. Plus your wife is hot. She kinda reminds me of an older Tina Yothers from Family Ties.

Bummer...

Maybe I'm a slow reader but I didn't see the link posted here. I found the new story on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehGudkQ-Opc&feature=channel_page .

Also, the link when Lakewood tried to kick his arcades out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWEZy9cN5_E .

THANKS! The youtube video worked for me.

Jon,

Who's the "friend" in the video?

Well, there were 2 there. One was Jason Brekke (a pinball collector) and Steve (he's on here, but i dont know his nick).

Someone asked me how they ended up doing the news feature.

I actually sold a game to an editor that works on Channel 9 and delivered a game to their break room.

Thats how this all started.

Congrats

Nice piece. I hope to have half as many as you some day. Very nice.

 

[ArcRevival]

At least it felt like they treated the whole thing respectfully, instead of the "this guy is a nut case" attitude. You can tell they spent some time on it editing and so on.Looks good.

Actually I dont do VAPS. the game database doesnt allow pins and i barely update it. Honestly I havent even looked at that list for months (until today).

Very cool! Too bad your Tempest wasn't on. Is that a Warlords UR next to the AD?
More proof that behind (almost) every arcade collector, there's an ARCADE WIFE!

 

[RedWolfJC]

What a ripoff, they didn't play "Pac Man Fever"

 

[Radiac]

That's cool. They did a very nice piece.

Maybe I missed it in the vid, but what was the game you were so excited to obtain?

 

[gamefixer]

To make things even better she's cool and she's a great cook too! I'd be a big fat muther effer if I hung around Jon's house too much!

That was great! love your set up of games. Basements....... why cant there be any basements in california. know give your wife some flowers.

 

[shardian]

Very cool news report. Here's to hoping you don't get a new city C&D letter.

Home builders claim that it has something to do with Earthquakes but thats a load of s*** if you ask me. My grandmother had a house in San Carlos (30 minutes south of San Francisco) that had a basement. It was dark as hell down there but it was nice to hang out in during the summer.

I think its since those lazy ass home builders dont HAVE to dig 6 feet down to get past the freezing line they just dont bother to do it or offer it.
