] There was a time when an arcade operator in America could
] buy a Ms. Pac-Man machine for less than $1,000, let it
] sit in an arcade, bar or storefront, and see that game
] make back over 30 times the initial investment. In 2004,
] that kind of profit margin is little more than a pipe
] dream.

] Since 2001, Midway completely shut down its arcade

] The following pictures were taken in May of 2003, when
] Midway decided to close their Milpitas facility. The
] Milpitas facility was the old 'Atari Games' building. I
] was able to get some pictures, before everything was
] moved out of the building. These pictures are of the
] employee cafeteria, the lobby gameroom, the hallways, and
] the warehouse areas. I was able to obtain and preserve
] the majority of what you see here. The rest of the items
] were retained by Midway or sold to employees. Their are
] also hundreds of other items that are not pictured,
] including 100's of industrial design sketches, game
] manuals, and a 20 year archive of NOS game
] flyers.....plus other secret items. Stay tuned..... My Trip to Atari |

] You might call me a moderate fan of videogames. I%u2019m
] really not being facetious either. I%u2019m about half
] player, half collector. I should hope that this comes
] across less in what I write than in what I choose to
] write about. It%u2019s just that there are things
] I%u2019m more a fan of.
]
] Here%u2019s an example: I enjoy having opinions about
] things. This is probably the greatest impetus behind
] unpaid writings of any sort %u2013 the desire to share
] your opinions about things you are interested in. the Videogame |
