Hello

I'm Pierre, 34 years old, fervent Megadriver who doesn't deny other gaming platforms from Sega, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Bandai, Commodore, Nec or Atari. I try to be as eclectic as possible, especially discovering obscure games, which cause sometimes disappointments, but also many amazements.

Concerning the Arcade, I'm a pure newbie, but who knows ? I'm fascinated by Cocktail Tables, and someday, I could seriously own one. ;)

Hi,

My name is William and I am in Southern California. Just picked up a Sega Net City and in the process of restoring it. Got all the parts I need, however, I need to get a nice set of Marquee + Instruction Card. If anyone know where i can source that. That will be really great. TIA :)

Hello everyone,

I moved from Paris to London, with a few cabs (egret 2, capcom cute, custom vewlix, bartops, midway cocktails) and pcb's (old school and some cave).

I have the same username on the french forums (gamoover, neogeofans, neoarcadia, ukvc).

Nice to be here.

Hey Guys,

My name is Pieter and I live in The Netherlands. I started the arcade hobby somewhere in 2012 by accident. I always loved arcade machines but forgot about them until I found Nozomi.nl looking for airhockey locations to play. It ignited my arcade love and as of then been busy with it and loving it.

The line-up I have is a New Astro City, Naomi Universel Mame sitdown for Shmups, MVS Woody and just recently bought a new project sitdown racer to switch it into a Outrun 2 (SP?).

Furthermore early this year I have started to put arcade location on a map globally to get everyone of their couches and start enjoying games as it was intended, with family and friend and experience games, not just play them. So far I managed with input of the arcade community to map 165 locations and counting so if you have any additions please let me know. You can find all the locations here: http://www.arcadeuniverse.net .

Hope to be able to contribute to the forum and to find some nice deals as well :awe:

Regards,

Pieter

Hey everyone!

I'm a long time (30+ yrs) video game collector, and just now getting into arcades. In an effort to make my dream basement, I've decided I'm going to create at least 1 of each type of cabinet DIY. The software and pc part I have down, but admittedly I'm a super n00b when it comes to making cabinets.

My first attempt is a rather tall order, but I think I can do it... hopefully. That is, I want to re-create a Lost World: Jurassic Park Deluxe (theater style) cabinet.

Again, I have the game itself running darn good using the Supermodel3 emulator, and my gun is a Wii Motionplus that connects via bluetooth (using glovepie). It's SUUUPER fun.

The reason I joined this forum is to reach out and see if I can get help (or can be pointed in the right direction) in regards to cabinet plans. Aside from going into Dave and Busters daily and sneaking in a measuring tape to get dimensions and pictures, I'm not sure what to do. The general internet is no help, aside from a few pictures here and there, but from what I've found, plans are nowhere. :(

If anyone would like to be my compass, I'd love it. If not, thanks for letting me snoop around these forums! Cheers :D

Hi

I am a new member from SF bay area. Nice to meet you all. I am new to candy cab mania. I always loved my dreamcast and the vast library of arcade titles. I am interested in naomi hardware. I am looking for a blast city cab to get the ball rolling.

Hi Zervo, welcome and good luck with finding a Blast City. CA is home to many cabs, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find one (unlike here on the east coast).
The naomi is a handful, between the i/o board (supposedly the SEGA ver.B is better than the capcom one), and you'll likely need that extra power supply (I think SUN makes a good one). I don't personally use naomi, so I'm partially talking out my bum, I just toss a Dreamcast in my Blast sometimes which does the job for me.

Thank you Chempop! Excited to learn more. Thank you for the tips regarding psu and i/o for naomi. I will keep look out. I had a quick question which cabs work easiest with naomi hardware other than Blast City.

Hi, I'm Paul, and I wish I'd have found this forum much, much sooner.

I bought an jamma arcade a while ago as a project "maximus" was my plan, but that kinda went out of the window. I grew up with arcades, and absolutely love them all.
