A Full Arcade in the Basement
Some people might think they have a pretty good setup with an HDTV or two, some 5.1
surround sound and all the most current game consoles. But the feat that this guy pulled off is simply astounding. He built a fully functional video game arcade in his basement. He’s got it all: Tron, Dragon’s Lair, Qix, Joust, that Star Wars cockpit game and many, many more. All the games and their cabinets are originals, no conversions and he even got the classic brown change machines! The blacklight-glowing carpet is a great touch as is the section with pinball machines. This photo gallery really brought me back to a time when it didn’t matter how many polygons made up your character, how good the mo-cap was or if the control scheme was up to snuff. All that mattered was that ninjas had kidnapped the president and whether or not you were a bad enough dude to rescue him.
