How much money have you spent on video game-related stuff? (In total)

I can't quote at work............

@ UltimateUnknown

I started work part time at 13, and the weekend straight after i finished school i started work full time (was still 15, i'm approaching 35 now) and i have been working full time ever since.

I'm far from rich, worse still in the early 90's i had a bit of a gambling addiction (fruit machines like 7 heaven & Nudge double up deluxe ect)

I loved the arcades back in the day, if my money wasn't going in to Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Bomb Jack, Shinobi, Outrun, Double Dragon, Star Force, Golden Axe, Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat cabinets ect, it was going in to the pinball machines, the snooker/pool tables or the as mentioned before fruit machines.

It helped that my buddies back then for the most part all shared my love of the arcades.

@ DieAppleDie

Arcades have to count? no? i would have had a boring childhood without my beloved Ideal Leisure Centre & Diamond Horseshoe arcades

Found this regarding the arcades i mentioned....... this felt like a trip down memory lane http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-29827.html
