IJVin's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

IJVin

In 2006ish, I had my name on the high score board of a minigame or something on the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom cabinet at the American Classic Arcade Museum in New Hampshire. // My picture is from the time I discovered the Small Town X Fisherman Statue in Maine in 2009. Some time later, I would add it to this very website.
