Post by: Dazz on February 04, 2008, 01:24:22 pm

Just saw this on Gizmodo....  Luna City Arcade (http://gizmodo.com/352147/retro-arcade-gaming-fan-heaven-is-worth-infinite-quarters/)

Direct Link to Peter's website.  Click here (http://www.peterhirschberg.com/arcade/gameroom.htm).

Wow, just absolutely stunning....  All of the cabinets look like they are originals as well.

57 fully-restored arcade classics which span from Asteroids to Zaxxon, plus a whole load of pinballs. Amazingly enough, he does all this on his own dime, for the love of it. It's open to the public now, and the best thing: entrance and quarters are completely free.

Ok Dazz, this is what we do. Late tomorrow night we wait outside with a truck and a forklift. Once the guy closes shop, you hit him over the head with a U360, Ill fire up the fork lift. Got it? Meet me out back at 25:00 hours! Dont be late!

Wow, that is quite a site loaded up. Last time I saw it, he had just started putting in games. That is an insane home arcade. Just to put this in perspective, the dud threw down almost $10k on the carpet alone!

I don't see a token dispenser! Definitely needs one if it doesn't have it already!  8)

Edit: nevermind, followed the link and saw it in the other pic. Should have know he'd have that covered.
