Recently, I was approached by Westside Academy to create a game room for their students. The project includes:

  • Five bartops with five games each.
  • A medium-sized arcade with 3,500+ classic games from Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Sega Genesis.
  • A full-size pedestal arcade with a 32” screen, over 3,000 games, blue LEDs, and two-player controllers.
  • Restoration of five existing arcades, including NBA Jam, Marvel vs. Capcom, Crazy Taxi, a bowling arcade, and Cruising World.

I’m excited to deliver a high-quality game room that meets the academy’s vision and enhances the students' experience.
