Hey everyone....other than being passionate about Corvettes, my other hobby is collecting arcade games. On Tuesday, May 29th, in the Columbus Dispatch, they did a neat feature on me and a couple of my friends with regard to collecting arcade games. Check it out if you'd like!

Thanks!
Brian

Thats cool!  I have a few arcade games myself.  Bankshot (pinball late 50s), Baseball (1956), Kiss (pinball 1990s).  If I had the space I'd go wild.  Very cool indeed.

That is really cool, Brian! Cool  I would love to have one that plays Galaxia....I don't think that's how you spell it. Star I used to play that for hours after work when I worked at Six Flags. Big%20smile

What would something like that cost? Confused

Greypoupon69: Are you thinking Galaga? Or Galaxian? Galaga has the ability to have your ship captured and stuff....I'd say you can find a Galaga for around 400-500 or so, they're relatively easy to find, especially on the east coast.

I swear, i can't have a cheap hobby....between the games and the Vette, i'm gonna go broke ;-)
