    Amazing! I feel bad for Jay...I'm sure he is hemoriging money right now not being open. This place is ABSOLUTE! Very well done! I had no idea U and Jay had thid many cabs between the 2 of U! This is a Dream of mine to have a joint like this to open my area. Much respect! I just bought a Sweet X-Arcade Cabinet last Sunday with the Original Wells Gardner Monitor in it! I'm using one of my Newer Xbox Mods in it with Coinops 8 Massive & Ninja Massive with in total over 30,000 Arcade & Console System Games on its New 1TB Hard Drive! It came with the X-Arcade Tank Stick with Trackball, but it only had the PlayStation 2 & PC adapters with it. I still have to get the OG Xbox & PS3 adapter off there site. Once that happens will be Rock'n! I have a ton of PS2 Compilation Disc I'm using for now: Midway Arcade Classics, TAITO LEGENDS 1 & 2, ATARI Anthology, SNK Arcade Vol1, Namco Museum, Gradius 3&4, RAIDEN 3, Capcom Classics 1&2, R-Type Final, and many more...glad your back!

    Tell Jay to finish that Street Fighter II Dash big blue all he needs is the Champion Edition control overlay and side art why stop half way. SFII Champion Edition is the first Capcom big blue and is pretty rare. What's funny also is that you went from SF to Moon Patrol, the creator of Street Fighter is Takashi Nishiyama and his first game was Moon Patrol he also created Kung Fu Master. So "Moon Patrol" "Kung Fu Master" & "Street Fighter" were all done by the same guy! Also Goonies never came out in the USA as a NES cart only in Japan as a famicom cart. The only USA version's are the playchoice cart and VS board. The playchoice version is the original famicom version of the game. Love the channel keep it up.
