Long time friend!

WE ARE ❌ NOT ❌ CURRENTLY RE-OPENING IN EPHRATA... WE WERE NOT BOUGHT OUT... OUR COLLECTION WAS NOT BOUGHT... ETC.

WILL NOT RETURN TO FORMER LOCATION

Hi all, apparently some sort of gaming establishment (somebody told me it was an adult gambling video poker place like you see in 7-elevens but don't quote me) is... quite conveniently... moving into our old building.

There is no signage yet besides some vague gaming-related signs, so just wanted to put the PSA out there as I feel it is pretty misleading at present and perhaps a bit advantageous, but I digress. I guess I'm a trendsetter 😜

Already getting one or two messages about it and whatnot, so wanted to put the message out there and please let everybody know "it ain't us, nor our 100+ beloved machines".

They are still sitting in storage and they will never return to the former location, we would seek something bigger at this point.

I don't know anything further and don't care, but just wanted to clear the air as somebody asked about it.

Sorry for the mumbling just had minor surgery and taking a few days in bed 🛌🤣

Just had to share such a cool find for any gamer out there...

Nintendo got hacked, Super Mario 64 source code got leaked, and a group of people ported it to 3DS with widescreen support and anti aliasing with no stretching...

No emulation since it is a source code port, so runs better than original. Really wild.

Feel-good story...

"The" Gameseum F-150 got wrecked bad in 2021 and spun around 5 times 360 degrees and sheared the wheels off of the handtruck dolly in the bed of the truck despite the front being the impact zone, my teenage truck with most of my best memories in it in 2021, right before the worst 3 years of my life started...

Now that I am back in action and doing my best since 2020 and life is perfect, I decided to unlock the door for the first time in 3 long years of sitting in an overgrown storage yard completely untouched (there was a smell), and bring her back to life. I am so glad it got wrecked because it is not tainted by the worst years of my life and it is a clean slate of good memories.

First drive in 3 years!

I have a lot of great memories traveling the US picking up arcade games in this truck including basically all of Gameseum's contents, over 100,000 just in this truck from the top of Michigan to South Carolina.

Maybe it's a sign?!?!

Bet you weren't expecting this...

Took a little break from dogsitting my son Gadget's cousin "Buddy" for the week 🐾 to go check on some old friends with my FIANCEE 💍 (called her my wife in the last post but technically only one ring so far 👀)

To the people still following along after all these years, my life is the best it's ever been and I am so happy, getting all my ducks in a row and finally got a ton of well-needed medical and dental work done and living pain free including mental pain, and still holding onto hope that I can do what I did again someday... and holding onto Hope, literally!

Finally at peace with life and so so happy for the first time in 5-10 years. Watching the market for these things continue to rise and rise I am sure both me and you are happy that yes... the collection is still around in one piece!

Anybody else would have liquidated by now but call me crazy, they're all keeping each other company for the future 😉 Due to the rarity becoming so much stronger over the last 10 years since I started I couldn't imagine being able to put even 25% of this together again or even find any of this stuff... so keeping it together is essential to me

Nice stopping in with my wife to Challenge Arcade which was the old school Berkshire Mall arcade and recently reopened.

Talked to the owner and talked the business and checked out all the games.

I do something at arcades nobody else does… count how many I own 😂 It was over 50%… great classics!

Good day of hauling!

GOOD TO SEE YOU !!

Great night at the Ephrata Christmas Event with my beautiful bride & 5’ 0” blonde elf Hope 💍🎄 I am lucky to spend such a fun night with by far the most beautiful woman I have ever met and truly the best match for me I have ever known 💕

It was so nice to see so many old customers! And everybody still recognizing me 🥲

Happy to report I am doing the best health wise since 2020 I have been. If we could totally delete the years in between - besides my dog - that would be great 😂😂

How are y’all doing? Still have most of my games and hope to see you all again someday… the dream isn’t dead just on pause. With the end of 2023 looking a lot like how happy I was in 2020… things are looking up, finally. Catch ya around!

Man when this song comes on I still gotta sing along!

Cruising through Hershey with 👱‍♀️ and my 🐾 (two blondes 😂 Gadget is so big now!) and got to love a little reminisicing of the years!

I miss you guys!

Both of us cracking up and Gadget panting happily. Hoping some day I'll see y'all again!

Happy 25th birthday to Gameseum's owner Steven!

Thanks for keeping up with our updates, we hope to see you again soon!

How is everybody?????

My first media appearance & my latest media appearance!

You know besides my dog, I wish I could pause life in the summer of 2020 and just forget and junk absolutely everything after that! Those were the days... have never been as happy or satisfied since... stupid "COVID". Truly the time of my life with miss Mallorey and a room chock full of games! But the train rolls on...

But still arcading at heart and just got done co-starring in an episode at the famous TNT Amusements Inc. with arcade legend Todd Tuckey!
