Hi,
I'm a former wannabe "retro game collector" from Germany that abondend the overpriced Retro Console gaming hunt and decided to switch to the more reasonable priced Arcade gaming…
Ok i kid (mostly).

"Some" years ago i got my self a cab (tv ideal) plus some "essential" Arcade Games (mostly MVS stuff) but then the whole thing kinda fizzled out for me.
Now the flame has somewhat rekindled for me, got a candy incoming (Aero City), and i want to fill the still open slots in my personal "essential arcade games" list and i thought joining this forum wouldn't be a bad first step in achieving that.

:awe: Sometimes it's true. Try buying 16-bit Snow Bros or Hammerin' Harry. It's weird when the arcade PCBs are the cheaper option.

Hi all.

Been lurking for a while and got around to signing up.

Current collection consists of a Naomi site down, a new net city, Crazy taxi and Electrocoin mvs 4 slot.

I collect neo geo carts and mostly play shooters on one of the cabs in vertical.

Looking at picking up a couple more candies over the next few years but pretty happy with the setup atm.

Hello,
I’m an old French gamer from Toulouse, who prefers Japanese arcade cabinets.

I’m not really a collector, but I have always had one or two cabinets at home, since a few years; I buy and I sell according to opportunities, as well as desires.
I am happy to join you.

Hey everyone.

Quite a few people here will probably know me from others places like Bordersdown and Neo-Geo.com.

Not new to owning cabs, my last one was a Neo Geo 6 slot that I sold in 2006 and instantly regretted it! However I took delivery of a Chewlix on Tuesday so thought I’d join here as no doubt I’ll have questions in the future!

Hi, I recently restarted the hobby after almost 20 years hiatus. I still have around 10 generic/cocktail/dedicated cabinets stored at our local arcade club.

Hi!

Decided my wallet wasn’t in enough pain collecting console games so now I’m diving into arcades. Have a couple red MVS cabs and looking to add on some candy cabs. Nice to meet you all

Hi, I was born in France but now live in the US.
My favorite game to this day is Street Fighter II’. I love neogeo cabinets, especially the Goldie, but also candy cabs (my dream cab being a New Astro City).
Glad to be here!
