So it begins...

At this point I decide I'm going to put my arcade on hold. I decide I'm going to create my parents a MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) machine for Christmas. Instead of playing one game they like it will play every game they like.

I start keeping a close eye on the arcade forums for any arcade in Michigan or nearby that will suit my needs. Amazingly, very quickly I find this: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=89422 A free machine in Owosso, MI, it's 2 hours away but it's hard to argue with free. I lie to my dad(sorry dad) about how I need to borrow his truck again because Mark bought an arcade and I'm going to help him pick it up.
