Bio..

You could say I was born in an arcade — not literally, but pretty close.

My story begins on a bus ride in the '80s, when my mom and dad met on the way to the arcade my grandfather owned. It wasn’t just any arcade — it was the kind of place that hit all your senses: the hum of retro machines, the clack of pool balls, the smell of popcorn and pizza in the air. A neon-drenched sanctuary where time slowed down and high scores mattered.

Every day, my dad rode that same bus, hoping to see my mom again. And one day, he did. The rest, as they say, is history — including the part where I was once changed as a baby on a pool table under those same flickering lights.

I grew up among joysticks, quarter slots, and the kind of stories that only come from a family-run arcade. Before it was sold, that place became part of who I am — a mix of grit, nostalgia, and a love for all things classic and real.

This shop is more than just a store — it’s a tribute to those roots. Thanks for being part of the Altezza Game Shop journey..
