Hi, Paul / ohfivepro from Edinburgh here. I've been playing arcade games since I was a kid in the early 80s and have only just started to pick up a few pcbs for myself. Very lucky to live near the excellent Konbo Arcade Cafe so that's where I get most of my gaming done these days. Look forward to chatting about arcade games here and picking up some tips on the technical side of things, of which I currently have no clue!!

Hello everyone. I am very new to the arcade scene. I bought my first Astro City about 6 months ago and it arrived with a nonworking monitor. I hope to make some new friends here on my journey to getting this baby working. I love Japan and I love old arcade machines, so this place seems like a good fit. I've already met great people locally that are into the hobby, so I really look forward meeting more of you.

Hello!!

My name is Chronis and I come from Greece. As I child I grew up smashing those arcade buttons at every local store. Pinballs too ofc... My parents, at some point, had to buy me a home-micro computer just to keep me a "bit" more occupied at home, rather to see me spending all that dough at the arcades!

Anyhoo, I recently managed to buy a Naomi Universal Cabinet, which now decorates (in fully working order) my office. I'm in the process of refurbishing it and upgrading it (panel with more buttons, maybe install a NetDimm , etc) and will surely need all the help I can get!

Hey guys, just signed up, I'm here looking for info on getting my Konami GX board with Run & Gun 2 game board to run with a supergun. Hopefully someone will be able to help! New to Superguns, looks like just what I am looking for before I take the leap to building a standup machine.

Ello,

Have been looking into buying a cabinet for a while now and off the back of a recent visit to Bury, it's been decided that it absolutely has to be a Japanese Candy. Currently in the midst of a house move so it's slot in the new man cave has been reserved hopefully pending a purchase through one of the members here.

Things have changed a little since I owned a few uprights about 20 years back, I guess the days of picking games up like Willow and Shinobi for £25 are long gone! Out of curiosity, is there any reason I can't see the marketplace as that's what initially led me to the forum off the back of checking cabinet dimensions on the wiki.

Hi all!

Huge rhythm gamer, started playing DDR on my 11th birthday and nearly 18 years later haven't looked back. Over that time taught myself how to fix and maintain cabinets and have worked for several arcades on general maintenance, particularly focusing on the rhythm action genre of titles, but dabbling beyond that.

More recently (in the last few years) been helping some arcades diversify their portfolios through importing and now starting to spread that service out a little more :)

Hi everyone ! Bonjour à tous !

My name is Guillaume, I am 31, from Montréal.

I am a big video games collector. I changed my way of collecting in early 2018 to allow myself to explore the arcade world

An evening at one of my fellow collector's house is all it took. Seeing his 6 candy cabs and almost full set of Cave pcb gave me the fever to start building a collection of my own. I already had a lot of Neo Geo MVS games, which I love collecting, but nothing else JAMMA.

Now I have a nice setup with 4 candy cabs, 2 MVS cabs and a couple of pcbs.

I do not only collect. I play a lot too ! Trying to do 1CCs, with one shmup at a time. I managed to beat a couple so far. Blazing Star being the one I am the most proud so far !

Looking forward to have good discussions with you guys !
