I was going through some old photo's and I've come to the conclusion.. that I (myself) never needed a lot of games to make me happy. Just the thought of having one arcade game and calling it my own.. makes me happy. I started in a fairly big basement (that needed done over) with this:

I even downsized my console TV. I loved this old floor model:

But Now I have this smaller but more convienent model.

Sure, I'd love to have another game someday. I'll have one, maybe two or three more someday.. but I'm very happy with what I have now.
 
why'd you sell the MsPac ?

I didn't. I got hosed. The guy who I got Popeye off of, wanted to trade me Karnov and Tri-Sports for the Ms. Pac. He said he always wanted to have his own Ms. Pac. I agreed.. and besides I was wanting something different for a while.. but the agreement was I get it back (first dibs on buy, trade) if he ever goes to sell it. Well about a month or so later.. I saw it on EBAY. He sold it for something like $750. I was furious.. and told him about it but he said he doesn't remember the agreement. Needless to say, I don't talk to him hardly anymore. I'd love to have another someday. There is one stuffed inside a rundown roller rink, but the guy wants 500 for it. I offered 400, but he wouldn't budge.. so I'm just gonna wait out the waiting game. Someday...

Ms. pac-man is too common and typical of an arcade game. If I got 50 free working ones i'd surly sell and trade em all off for a game like toobin', I robot or a nintendo red tent.
 
Here is my start. Started with Tron, then came Space Invaders, and the wife wanted Ms Pac. Now a little over a year later, I have 12 games and growing.

I started of with Space Invaders, and Zaxxon. I still remember how excited I was to actually own a couple arcade games. It was really a dream come true for me. Of course, I was a little more excited to get ones that were more fun to play. :)
