psaux.com discount arcade
I started collecting arcade games when I realized
I might want to play a working pinball at any given time,
and that I really missed Atari's Star Wars.
It turns out that I like maintaining and repairing games,
too.
Want list: Mostly, a bigger house. I'm looking for anything
cheap and repairable. But mostly, a bigger house.
I like most pinballs and video games with weird controls
that don't translate to emulation well.

| Was in a converted Pac-Man cabinet, which
I converted to JAMMA (and to Ms. Pac-Man). Lame by modern
standards; the redraw just takes too long, but the Golden
Tee flavor seems to be there.

I took this to CAX 2009, put a price on it because
I needed to make space, but without the intent of really
selling it. It sold anyway to a good home.
