Re: Introduce yourself here!
Hi
I'm 40 years old Finn and I'm arcadeholic . I had never been into console and arcade gaming when I was young. I did play and programmed demos with c64 and Amiga but consoles and arcade hardware was for me, except the newer generations like ps3, xbox360, ps4 etc.
Bit less than year ago, my friend who is into old consoles and especially to Neo Geo, asked if he could hold neo geo meeting at my place. I have decent sized house and actually quite big "mancave" in my basement, so I said yes. When we tested his neo with my home theater, I really liked the games we played. So I decided to build consolized MVS. And well, long story short: now I have cmvs, cdz, 4 other mvs boards, games, naomi cabinet, cps2, stv and I have made my own wireless joystick and receiver for neo. My cmvs project and some other stuff is here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/93434399@ ... 478740505/" Those who read neo-geo.com forum, will find the project there too.
What comes to the games, I like puzzle type games most, puzzle bobble, puzzle de pon etc. Also like metal slugs. I suck in fighting games, but I still like DoA2 and King of Fighters and capcom vs snk. This is bit funny because in my family everybody practice or have practiced some sort of martial arts and I really really suck in those games at least compared to my kids.
Apart form arcade stuff, my hobbies include martial arts, cars, home theater, electronics and RPGs.
Cheers,
Miikka

Re: Introduce yourself here!
Yello, I'm Anthony. 24 from Baltimore. I'm generally into all things video games, I have an Xmen Vs Street Fighter Cabinet, Dedicated Neo Geo 6 slot, and a Blast City I recently bought. I've been cleaning the heck of out the Blast City, and so far it looks awesome. Right now I have a Naomi and a netdimm on it, and I'm going to also throw a 360 into it so I can play Marvel and SFIV . Here's the blast as it currently stands, https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/ ... 0793_o.jpg"
Right now I'm trying to track down the stock Blast City marquee and instruction card.

Hi everyone! I'm from Houston. I just started collecting Neo Geo gear. I've been a lifelong arcade fan and started with Asteroids/Pacman/Legend of Kage/Street Fighter,etc.
I just got an SNK MVS-U4 and I also own a Dynamo Conversion Neo Geo cab and I own a Kraylix V3.
My background is in electronics and computers. I know my way around a soldering iron quite well as I was taking apart things way before I was old enough to take electronics classes.
I'm also into Guitar and Music Gear. A/V and Stage and Theater. Anime, Videogames on all systems and all kinds of other crazy stuff!
Thanks for having me!

Re: Introduce yourself here!
Hey there everyone, I'm Gucci Suit and Third Strike fans may have heard that name from my involvement in the Gutter Trash tournaments at the Heart of Gaming in London. I mostly joined up because I'm interested in finally getting some cabs for my ST and 3s boards. The community here comes highly recommended and I've already benefited from the wiki when it came to resurrecting my 3s board so its been very useful even for a lurker. I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys and hopefully work out a good deal on some cabs.

Hi guys! I'm John!
I've been a longtime gamer, but only started with arcade cabinet ownership about 4 years ago. I am trying to get my Super Neo 29 Type II back to a 100% original configuration and condition. Parts are hard to find!
I have a large MVS kit collection and many home consoles systems, including every AES Neo Geo release. I am here to learn a few things and hopefully be able to maintain my cabinet for the future!
