I want to open an Arcade. Like a for real real one. Not like a Dave and Busters. I want to put in all the classics and some newer ones. I would love to find the TMNT and Simpsons arcades and have it start with those kind.
I mean there are a tone of games I could put in. I remember when I was a kid, even though "Arcades" we slowing down and pretty much going away, I stood in line to play with my pocket full of quarters. I think every kid needs this kind of thing in their life. Enough of all this touch screen tablet, iphone, ipod, laptop 60'' LED screen stuff.
Yes, I do love the new generation games. But there is something special about that arcade. When I tell people about it, they ask me if Wreck-It Ralph made me want to do it. No, that movie is not the reason. I've been wanting to do this for at least ten years or so, maybe longer.
I think people would come out to play, I even had a store picked out. It would have been right next to a GameStop. I thought about those midnight releases and when it gets into winter. Some of those nights, like this past winter, in the Detroit area get to -10 range. So I could have the store open on those nights and they could come in and play some sweet old games before they go and get their sweet new game.
Could be something, could be more. Follow your dreams....BEEFCAKE!
