/vr/ - Retro Games

>>1162976

The City of Glendale is in the midst of expansion (mostly shopping/fine dining) and purchased the building from the owner including the games inside for 1 million.

Glendale sat on the locked building for about 3 years and toyed with the idea of continuing the plan to open it as a museum. Then they decided against that and thought it would be better to develop the space and sell the games at auction local for youth service organizations.

Then Glendale's budget for the project ran out.

Glendale will eventually have to sell the machines and send the profits to the state of California.

Meanwhile, the machines were carted to a local storage facility where they are sitting, collecting dust until the next chapter unfolds...

Only a thin, corrugated steel door separates me from these machines. There is a list posted somewhere. They had old-school 80's, recent Fighters and an Initial D Arcade Stage Ver.3 Sit-down cabinet last I remember.

Hopefully, they will auction them locally so I'll have a chance to get someone back from my childhood... Um, cheap!
