I came upon panview.com today and had a glimpse of Michael Jackson's personal arcade. The whole arcade has been posted online as a fully explorable panorama. It got everything every Peter Pan syndrome infected geek will die for. From Crazy Taxi to Guitar Freaks to Han Solo frozen in carbonite to the 360-degree spinning Sega R360 jet fighter cabinet, Jackson amassed a daunting collection of arcade games and general geek paraphernalia—much of which was auctioned off earlier this year.
It's very notable that the collection seems to be frozen in time somewhere in the 90s. Approximately right around the time of Michael Jackson's notorious $22 million molestation settlement. Though, more fairly, it's also the same era that consoles really started to cut into the arcade experience.
