The history of the business can be traced back to 1982, when the owner was 10 years old and received an Atari 2600 for Christmas. In 1982, Denver experienced a Christmas Day blizzard, which is well known to locals. His parents, who had to work downtown on Christmas, called to tell him to open his presents at a friend's house down the street. When he woke up the next morning, he discovered a brand new Atari 2600 loaded with games. His lifelong interest in video games has blossomed into a career as the proprietor of an online video game retailer.
