Viewer Collection: Jeremy Wagner's awesome vintage arcade
This basement is an '80s kid's dream!
Sep. 9, 2020
Jeremy Wagner procured his first two arcade games in 1996 and hasn't stopped since. Over 20-plus years, he has bought and sold almost 100 games and right now has 45 in his collection. He moved into his current house 11 years ago and designed the basement to be a place where he could create his own gaming haven.
"Being an '80s kid, this was a dream of mine my entire life, to have my own personal arcade," he says. We'd have to agree — it looks like a dream come true!
Take a look at the collection below, including some of Jeremy's favorites and cool vintage accompaniments like a jukebox and a soda machine.
