Nice home. He is obviously well financed and has lots of room for this hobby.

Very cool, I sent him an email asking if he still has his arcade. 'Course his site has not been updated since 1997.

As you're reading down the list and looking at the pictures of how great this guy's arcade is, you come upon the line about his "happy divorce party". Classic! That is way off the Unintentional Comedy Scale. If I invested that much time, effort, and money into an arcade, I would be having one of those parties too.  ;D

So the arcades served two purposes.  Fun and getting rid of the ball & chains.  For some, thats worth its weight in gold.

Jeff is a great guy, I've bought a few machine from him over the years.

(I met him before the divorce...)

And his game room does kick much butt.


I haven't spoken with him in about 6 years though.

I read his justification for adding extra 20 amp circuits.  But he did not mention anything about supplimenting the structure of the house.  36 games upstairs??  My house would tip over!  (Not to mention the extra 30-50 people upstairs during his party).

Game programmers do not play games for a living.  Would you say a mechanic drives cars for a living?

That was bad.  But he had so many.  He bought out a warehouse or something.  Like lighting a cigar with a $100 bill.

He emailed me back and said he is in a different house now.  He said he still has many games but a few less than at that time.
