Eh, Yo! This week we dive into Game Changers Arcade. Game Changers Arcade is a custom-built modular arcade system. Game Changers Arcade is a system that folds up and can be brought anywhere with the convenience of modern systems to play all the new console games. Game Changers Arcade is a small business based in Chicago that is Co-Owned by Maurice Berry. Game Changers Arcade came to be when Maurice wanted to put an arcade cabinet in his basement but couldn't fit a traditional cabinet down the stairs. He went to his friend and now Co-Owner and said let's make this. Once it was done they had to show it to the world. Game Changers Arcade was born.   

Maurice goes much deeper into the story of Game Changers Arcade and lets us know why he is so passionate about this and what he has planned for the future.
