IT ALL STARTS WITH ONE MACHINE


One day I was out looking for a pool table and there it was. Stuck back in the corner of the shop
was an almost new looking Williams Joust machine. I had never before thought about
buying an arcade game, but $450 later (quite a bit in those days) it was in the back
of my friend Tom's truck. Before you know it, you have more than you can fit in your house.
I only have one storage unit. I have friends that have several!


 I had an "arcade" for about 5 minutes until a dispute with a business partner closed that
chapter in my life. A select few were lucky enough to attend the "First, Last and Only" get together.
Below are a few pictures of that arcade along with the very few pictures I have of that one and only party.
Dave Danzara of the Video Craze shot some footage that night
and I will post it if he ever finds it. A few seconds did make the trailer for the movie!

After I shut the doors, a good portion of the "common" games were sold off.
What was left went into storage for about a year and a half. Most of the collection now resides in my garage.
There has been more than one new addition in the last few years
pushing the total of games back up toward the 90+ the collection once was.

BTW.....I still have the Joust!
