Title: OH-MY-GOD, LUNACITY IS FOR SALE !!!
Post by: level42 on March 06, 2010, 08:17:29 AM: Is it firtst of April yet ? No....so it has to be true.....

Not sure what happened but Peter Hirschberg stepped out of the scene some months ago and now this:

!!!!!!! Very sad IMHO. I don't know the reason why, but I sure hope someone can step in and buy the house, arcade and (most of the) games.....

For those who don't know Luna City: It has been a dream/example for all of us. It's probably what every collector's ultimate goal would be. Check out the pictures here: http://www.lunacityarcade.com/photos.htm

Wish Peter all the best !

This is horrible, but I'm sure that he doesn't sell it voluntarily. There must have happened something terrible in his private life.

I can't imagine how Peter must be feeling about this, I sure hope that I never will have to sell my games and my gameroom.

Let's hope that the new owner also will also be a true arcade collector, like Peter. ???

Post by: Sonic 1992 on March 07, 2010, 01:16:11 AM: Is 2012 coming or what? ??? Finny is selling (or taking offers) his lair, and now Peter is selling and he just finished his gameroom basically... Just a strange coincidence or what? Hate to see this happen to good folks. :'(
