Santa brought me an Arcade machine for Christmas. I used to build these for a living in my first job back in 1986. I had been wanting a machine for ages and was looking at restoring an old one but I found this one ready to go.
It has nearly 2000 of the classic games in it and been a real trip down memory lane going through them. My daughter thinks it's great and we've been battling away on it.
A lot of my youth was spent around arcade machines so having one in the shed was a must have. Video arcades were just what we did back in the late 70's early 80's. That's where we would meet up with friends and hang out. In Hamilton (NZ) there was an arcade next to a hamburger shop in the city that we would go to regularly. I went back a few years ago and surprisingly the burger shop was still there but unsurprisingly the arcade long gone,
