Snappy 12 Member · Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hey all, Heard about this site on the Collector's Quest podcast and thought i'd join the community. My family owned several arcades in the metro-Detroit area growing up in the 80's/90's and I've always been a pretty big gaming fan... arcades, PC, consoles, etc. Glad to join the community! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, no... and the distributor(s) that I am aware of are no longer in business. : ( Those connections would have come in handy since I am currently on the hunt for a 4 or 6 slot MVS cab. Edit: Well, I should say that a Robotron 2084 cab and a nice condition Chexx Hockey were kept and brought to homes Edited November 20, 2019 by Snappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were all in the metro-Detroit area. A number of them were called Time Zone Arcade, one was called Sparky's, and one was called Fun Busters. The last one to shut down was Time Zone Arcade in Livonia mall like 7-10 years ago or so. Edited November 20, 2019 by Snappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.A. 1,106 Member · Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Welcome! You must have been popular as a kid with your parents owning arcades, that would have been awesome! Do you have any pics of the arcades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
