I was just thinking that... I'd say Funspot's classic arcade collection is more than just a little bigger, though. :D

Cool thing to have if your rich, although I wouldn't as it's not my cup of tea. There is also no way in hell I would have that open to the public for free. Although, I am sure if he charged people there would be a whole to-do with setting it up as a business b/c sooner then later Uncle Sam will find out he's not getting his cut.

The Man, The Myth, The Legend...Hirschberg himself has commented below.PRIVATE ARCADE! BY INVITE ONLY!!!Gizmodo is full of it! They wouldn't stop at stealing the quarters...they'd probably stick chewing gum on top of all the cabinets!

You are a demi-God! Your place is a dead ringer for Bally's Great Escape circa 1984. Is the real challenge keeping them monitors looking sharp? Funny that I think about it, but there was a western themed arcade called the "Electronic Corral" that was pretty cool in Lakewood, CA back in the day. It was a very interesting motif for an arcade.

yeah, there was a wonderful innocence. It was all so new.
