    Dive into the world of gaming, spanning from the old-school charm of the 1976 APF TV Fun to the modern era of 2010 with the PS3. Explore the rich history of home console gaming while enjoying free Saturday morning classes for kids on various topics. For just $100, you can grab a year-long membership to this gaming haven - a place that's genuinely amazing.

    Whether you're a casual observer or a hardcore enthusiast, there are games for everyone. Spending time here has expanded my knowledge of gaming history and the creative artistry behind the games I grew up with. With a full Rockband setup, the spread of classic Nintendo consoles (NES, SNES, N64, GCN, Wii... a huge draw for me), and an extensive game library, there's always something new to discover.

    Indulge your nostalgia with classics or try your hand at the Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram Arcade machine. Join the fun with Smash Brothers Tournaments every other Tuesday and meet fellow indie game developers in co-working meetups. It's not just a gaming space; it's a laid-back celebration of the gaming world's magic and community spirit.

    I can't wait to see how The MADE grows as we see digital entertainment gain more validity as the art and culture it already is!
