The idea forms...

This all started with my own aspirations to create a personal arcade machine for my home where I could play all of the games I grew up with. My plans included a 4 joystick, 4 player machine, with spinners, a trackball, and guns.

However...

In looking for a machine to convert into my arcade Mark and I make plans to go down to an arcade auction in Indiana. So I ask my father to borrow his truck and this sparks a lot of interest from my parents. They ask me all about the auction and then give me a list of different games they want and a price tag they want me to bid for each game for them.

In the end everything at the auction was overpriced except a nice NBA Jam machine that Mark got, but it did give me an idea.
