Re: Introduce yourself here!
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.

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

Re: Introduce yourself here!
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.

Re: Introduce yourself here!
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.

Re: Introduce yourself here!
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!

Welcome aboard!
I was going through some old pics the other day & found one of my 6 slot cab that I bought in 2005 my first cab.

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

Re: Introduce yourself here!
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!
