You may ask why do we do it? simple really, we do it for the love of the games, any money taken/rasied/donated is put back into the Arcade Barn to help keep it going.
Shaun - Arcade Barn founder & dedicated collector. Brought up with childhood trips to Torquay and Dawlish thus being able to play the cream of videogames in the 1980's. Started collecting and messing about with his own arcade games with a Jamma converted Robotron in 1996 (wish I knew where it was now!). His own collection makes up the bulk of the 'barns' games.
Favourite games: Atari Firefox, Dig Dug & MrDo!

Aran - Retro video game devotee, he started collecting in 2002 with generic Jamma cabs & PCB's. Now his personal collection consists of all dedicated cabs. Aran does not like modern cabs and indeed the Quizvaders in this picture was retired soon after this picture was taken.
Favourite games: Commando & Dig Dug

Bruce - Long time collector & all round arcade handyman. Bruce has his very own fine collection of games some of which are at the barn. He enjoys nothing better than messing about in the innards of a broken arcade game and getting it working again (just don't examine his methods too deeply). Bruce has plenty of arcade related tales to keep you entertained on a break from the arcade action.
Favourite games: Anything that has not got a 28 way edge connector
