One of my son’s classmates invited him to hang out for the day. I drove my son to his friends house and went passed the open garage. My jaw dropped. It was a fully working 80s/90s arcade. His father collects old arcade games, gets them refurbished and sells them or keeps the ones that were special to him. I got invited into their house and it was full of working arcade games. His father showed me around and said I could stay and play whatever I wanted. And I did. Best play date EVER.

I worked at an arcade bar, and we started a pinball league with the 5 pinball machines we had. Unfortunately they were always breaking down and quite costly, so we had to host the league 1 night a month to keep up. Well the league took it into their own hands to host the other 3 nights at their homes with their personal collections. The eldest of the group, had a basement with 71 pinball machines. I saw a video of it as I wasn’t in the league, but some of the players valued his collection at over $1 million worth of pinball machines. All kept up and maintained by the man. Which makes him, the man.
