As geek-overlord Wil Wheaton has written about repeatedly (and speechified at two different Penny Arcade Expo keynotes), a real arcade is -- was -- a special place. And while attempts to recapture the mid-'80s feel of a real arcade exist in magical spots around the country, like New Hampshire's Funspot, or the retro room at Penny Arcade Expo East, they suffer not just from a lack of hygiene and me-not-being-13, they're also very far away.
So I built my own. Read More »
