Pink Gorilla University District Construction Update #2
After a busy couple weeks, PG #2 or PGUD (Pink Gorilla University District) is finally ready for business. While the store is FAR from complete, the space has at least been decked out with pink and green, plus it even has a few hundred games hanging from the walls. With over 2000 sq. ft., the store is so huge the Elders decided to put in an arcade in the back of the store, starting off with eight classic games and two pinball machines. While there are only 7 arcade cabs in the picture to the side, more arcade machines will be in place very soon. So far the PGUD arcade has Baby Pac man (hybrid game with pinball down below and video up top) Ms. Pac man, Wizard of Wor, Robotron, Soul Edge, Gorf and Asteroids. The walls have plenty of NES, SNES, Famicom, Super Famicom, a few Genesis and Master System games, lots of Saturn and Dreamcast games, PC Engine/Turbografx 16 games and lots more. Hit the jump for an in depth look at the new space, with lots of pics of the new space!
While there is plenty to check out at the new store now, there is more of everything to come in the next few weeks. More art books, more video game soundtracks, more toys, more Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii games, more retro games, more accessories, more game themed patches, sweatbands, key chains, gashapon toys, and even more Penny Arcade. In the coming weeks pretty much more of everything PG carries will start to fill even more wall space with gaming goodness.
The Elders still have some plans in the works for the new space, so make sure to check every once and a while to see what new plans have been put into action. With the PG Collectors Corner off to a start, there are still more rare and unique items on the way to be on display at PGUD. Sit back relax and take a virtual tour through Pink Gorilla University District. While it will cover most of the space. check out more pics on Elder Kozo's Flickr, for even more. Imagine walking down the Ave and finding a bright pink awning with a door leading into a land of even more pink and a little green.....
A wall filled with Pinky G's! What more could you ask for!

What! Even more rare games! Is that a sealed copy of Umihara Kawase Shun for PS1?
