12/06/08 - 3 games leave the collection...

As I started my quest for the perfect gameroom lineup, 3 games left today.  Centipede, Track and Field, and Donkey Kong 3.  I enjoyed all 3 of the games, but all 3 were projects, and I didnt forsee having the time and $$$ to make them all right.  They were sold to a local collector up in Ronert Park, and may one day be returned to their former glory...

---------------------------------


I grew up loving video games, and still remember the day my Dad came home with our first NES.  I loved that console, however nothing was better than taking trips to Chuck-E-Cheese on Tully Rd in San Jose, or going to Bullwinkles in Sunnyvale to play the Arcade games.  The sights, the smells, the sounds, everything about them made the Arcades awesome.  There were tons of places in the San Jose area growing up - Golfland, etc that had arcade games and I absolutley loved all of them.

1993 came and my favorite local restaurant in Folsom had an NBA Jam machine.  I was hooked. 

I always told myself if I were ever going to own an arcade game it would be that one.  Fast forward 11 years later, and I found one on ebaY.  Thus, the madness began...
