This arcade in the USA is seriously excellent.  View the fifty pictures at the link.

Finally, I have found another person who has the same Star Trek Voyager Arcade machine like I have in my loungeroom.

The list of the pinball machines they have is here

Yeh, its a nice arcade. He has spent some serious coin. Machines are so much cheaper in the USA, it makes ya cringe at our aussie pinball prices.
Might be time for a container.  #@#

my dad used to say "bite off more than you can chew, and chew like crazy". Sounds good, until the economy turns to crap (thanks Julia Gillard.lol)

that fellow in the USA sounds like he has a very profitable "first" telco business etc, and he is probably writing off some high profits with a nice tax deduction with the arcade.
HOWEVER, i say well done to him and anyone else here in OZ who steps up in business and chases their dreams. Being a self employed business owner, making money is never easy, espescially these last few years.

Imagine if u won the 20 million lotto, I would try n match that fellows arcade just because Lotto would let me. Doesnt hurt to dream.  ^^^
