A Chat with Joe Reyna and Erich Stinson

In January 2022, Sam, A.T. and Saturn traveled to The Arcade With No Name where they had a chat with Joe Reyna and Erich Stinson: two of the co-owners of the Game Preserve arcades. Besides their involvement in the Game Preserve Co-Op, Joe and Erich are also heavily involved in the Houston Arcade Expos.

In this video, we talk about Williams 6809 arcade games, the sound hardware of Williams games, Atari System 1 and System 2 games, how people collect arcade games, and business strategies arcade people use.

This is one for the Houston Arcade Community, The Houston FGC and anyone curious about older games.
