My brother actually has an entire retro arcade in his basement.

He has at least 22 games working, 2 coin machines, a crane and 2 pinballs.

Its decked out with tons of retro posters and Original arcade perafenilia. Its cool, it has blacklights with reactive carpet.

He buys the games for a few hundred, and fixes them.

Check out if you don't believe me

Check out my brothers retro arcade and while you are at it,

If you ever liked ANY classic game from Asteriods to Zaxxon to Moon Patrol, you got to see this set up.

He fixes them AND completely restores them

He's also an AMAZING 3D modeler, check out the 3D models of some of his games there.

Remember when Arcades Ruled?

One thing I want you should download the wirlibird helicopter game. He modeled it after a toy he had as a kid.

Some of his programs come with the code if you can use C++ you can alter or tamper with the physics and what not.

[Well, he buys them not working, so they aren't that much money, and buys/trades parts to make them as new as posible, trying to restore them.

They are old, and badly abused often.

They don't work untill he gets out the soldering gun and spare parts.

Most of those games used transistors, parts you can buy from Radio Shack.]

Remember when Arcades Ruled, and had the best graphics and games?

Arcades are gone for ever.
They are lame nowadays.
