Hey everyone,  I am a long time lurker and just signed up to actually make some posts.  I am a video game collector. I mainly play NES, SNES and Genesis but I play everything.  As for the new stuff, I grew up with Nintendo so I play a lot of Wii U also.  I still havent put the money down on a ps4 or xbox 1 yet.

I own and am the only person at 8-Bit Hall of Fame in Bonita Springs Florida.

I got married last June and my wife wanted everything out of our house so that's how the store was born. I pretty much picked up everything in my "man cave" and moved it there. I teach 6th grade World History during the day so that is why my hours are the way they are. I will be open all day every day during the summer. .

The arcade machines that are in the store are always set to free play so come set some high scores.

My buddy John from Southwest Florida Gamers made this youtube video of the store.

Pretty much, it's been a blast so far.  My man cave turned into a social place for gamers.  It's cool meeting others that are as into retro gaming as I am.
