You're fired from your afterschool job at the Arcade Emporium on Main Street after you tell a group of teen jerkoffs exactly what you'd like to do with their pinballs.

You had to sell your classically themed penny arcade, and now it's a less classically themed Starbucks. But you managed to sell a few of the games to collectors willing to pay top dollar.

With the purchase of your first gambling slot machine, you've decided it's time for a new direction. It's a gamble, but so far profits are up and the word on the street is starting to spread.

Your new Megatron Arcade Complex just signed a sweet deal to consult on a huge new arcade-themed science fiction movie that's going to bring arcades into the future. And you're the screenwriter.
