I'll be at the next two Twisted Punk Bazaars, June and July 25th 2026, at Twisted Copper Brewery in downtown Columbia, Tennessee with several machines, the Gameboy Camera printer, my books, my games for sale and anything else I think about dragging out.  I'll be up in the game room.  Come play some vintage NES, Super NES, Atari, Sega, Computer games, etc.  Should be fun!

If you're a business or bar and would like to host a retro console game night message CJ at 615-482-2839  - I can scale the arcade to match your space.  Games systems are compact and are fun for young and old!  Your patrons, guests, etc. will get to experience original Atari, Sega, Nintendo and more on classic consoles.  I can even bring out a few CRT televisions for NES zapper games.  I can also set up a high score board for mini tournaments.

Arcade is available for setup in Columbia, Spring Hill, Mount Pleasant, Franklin, Murfreesboro, or Thompson's Station.  I charge a flat fee to set up for at least three hours of game play.

My new book "Video Game Firsts" is now available on Amazon.com as a hardback, trade paperback or as a Kindle download.  

From the first video game ever created to the dawn of online gaming, VIDEO GAME FIRSTS takes you through hundreds of gaming breakthroughs that built a multi-billion-dollar industry.

As early as the 1950s, engineers began experimenting with the idea of manipulating dots on a TV screen. From those humble beginnings sprang the first video arcade machine, the first home video game console, the first ROM cartridge, wireless controllers, and every modern-day gaming amenity included in your favorite console or game.

Explore the early days of video games, the mania of titles that took over the world, and learn about the people behind the pixels in VIDEO GAME FIRSTS.
