Hi guys. Ive been collecting arcade games for a quite a few years now. Since 2011 to be exact. My first cabinet was a dynamo cab with strikers 1945. From there I got a neo geo big red. I currently own a dynamo with a vertical monitor, a dynamo with 6 buttons, a solo ddr cabinet, a doubles ddr cabinet, a neo geo big red and a neo candy. The neo candy is my most recent purchase.

Hello everyone, Im from Chile, Latin America.
Recently started collecting arcade boards, many of them acquired in the "dead board" form and succeded in their resurrection, others... I did not, that's the main reason I'm here, looking forward to share knowledge about arcade and home systems boards , currently own a modest SNES collection, some modded bymyself toploader NES, some CPS2 and MVSs, making a fullset of hardware for upcoming fightning tournaments in my region - nothing against MAME, actually I play daily on emulators, but for events original hardware is the way to go - have woodworking experience and electronics. I sincerely appreciate this kind of space were dead-tech junkies can get together and share.

PS: sorry for my english, aint my born language.

Hi, I’ve been a long time Neo Geo fan since the 90’s and have been lucky enough to visit Japan a few times and experience their awesome arcades. It’s from their that my love of arcades and the equipment grew.

I currently have an AES collection, but would love to have a candy cab at home, but sadly space and my wife would be a slight problem! So I’m currently thinking to build a halfway house setup, using Saturn virtual pro sticks modded to fit the neo with some Taito stools and a B&O MX6000 28” CRT. It should feel close enough I hope! I’ll post up some progress as things move along.

I was having fun with Commodore hardware for a long time, a year ago I discovered arcade cabinets are fun too!

Hi Zondax here.
From France the land of cheese wine and eternal strikes.

If I begin arcade not too long ago. first cabinet a blast city...now there is one more an Exceleena Red and a 3rd one coming next January and should be a 20" cabinet.
And there is also a giant Data east wood cabinet.

Arcade was kind of a salvation, learned many thing while repairing the blast (I even redone the Jamma loom from scratch to make it JVS ready as it didn't have a 001 jamma loom)
and finally taking time to play games one by one. no more switching all the time thanks to emulation having trillions of titles. I can do 1CC and 2all more offen thanks to that.

hope I can share some of your knowledge here.

thanks

I have been on Klov for quite a while in suggesting some "modern classic" arcade stuff and then found out on this site which contains a lot of that. Looking forward to this. Currently own a twin Time Crisis 2. Everything but the monitors are in fine condition now.

Hi guys!

I'm Yellow13 from Russia and I have recently had fun with a couple emulated arcade games a friend sent me. I wanted to discover more arcade games that are available on PC, did a Google search, and here I am!
My favourite game types are shooters (especially those with "guns" you aim at the screen ; a shame this can't be done on PC!), although I like playing a racing game from time to time.
Apart from arcade games, I like real time strategy and other realistic simulators, like submarine games.

And that's all for now, I hope I'll discover lots of awesome stuff here!

Hello everyone! I have been an avid gamer for most of my life and after a decade of watching on sidelines finally taking the plunge down the rabbit hole for a candy cab arcade project! I am on the east coast in the DC suburbs, mid 40's family guy, tech, scifi, gaming nerd :) Looking forward to getting into the hobby! Thanks! 8-)

Hello all,

I'm Wes of the Graveyard Duck podcast. Been an arcade collector for the past 10 years or so. I have an Aero City on the way from a friend of mine, and in looking up info on it, I discovered this place. Excited to contribute to the discussion.
