Love it! Welcome to the forum. It's fantastic that your family have been running arcades for so long. It feels, to me, that there's a real resurgence in people wanting to get out of the house to play games in recent years - reversing a trend that's been running for decades. I really hope your business is doing well and expands.SUSANAMARGOT wrote:I am Susana Margot. I love this hobbie. I grew up in Gaming Centers because thats actually our family business.
My grandfather started 50 to 60 years ago so I am third generation. I have not experience in Forums, so please be patient with me.
Now, for fun, I sell all the PCBs that we no longer use.
Anecdote
When I was a younger, much younger, I used to give tokens to the hottest guys so they would be my boyfriends... hahaha ... I would give them a bag with 100 tokens.

Re: Introduce yourself here!
Thank you very much Zipper !!!
My father thought he had his warehouse full of trash, and I found out that it is a treasure. So I sell the boards and purchase games that play more at the Game Centers such as Shooting games, Redemption games, Kiddies and so on.

Re: Introduce yourself here!
Hey All,
Just getting into CPS2 collecting (r.i.p. wallet) and thought I'd join the forum!
I'm a long-time retro gaming collector and tech enthusiast and i'm now looking at the wonderful world of Arcades!
I've got a youtube channel (MrSujano) where I might end up incorporating some of my arcade adventures.
Looking forward to the community!

Hi, I'm raditz from planet Vegeta (France )
My lover : Neo Geo MVS ! I attended the onslaught of Rit Legno everywhere in France : "we can choose his game in this cab !". I went to a restaurant: there was a cab, during sports according to the place: there was a cab, on vacation: there was a cab... there were cabs everywhere! Since 4 years, I am owner of a house with gaming-room under construction: room underground, it's been 2 times that I renovate it, I think now have isolated well, I will present it in the collection headings: big arcade sticks , 3 cabs (Blast, MV-U1, Royal Video Special 19")... we will talk about all this in due time ...
Last thing : I love my forum www.neogeo-players.com

Hello!
I'm Josh, currently living in Phoenix, AZ - but back and forth to SoCal, as well. I'm visiting Tokyo in a little over a week, and I've been on the hunt for a candy cab for a while, and somehow ended up here this morning.

Re: Introduce yourself here!
Hi,
I am a 46 year old retro addict from Stokenchurch, UK. My arcade collecting started in 2001 with an Outrun upright which I sold recently ;(. Since then I have collected 15+ pcb's and have two Jamma cabs. One running Mame, Mala front end, Arcade VGA (CRT) and a J-PAC. Also recently added an Aimtrack lightgun with feedback which is well worth the effort!. The other Jamma cab is not yet finished but is going to have similar setup but for vertical games.
I have no expectations other than to hopefully learn as much as I can from other forum members and hopefully contribute what little knowledge I have amassed wherever I can.
Thanks for the add and looking forward to becoming an active member of the forum.

Hi!
I'm Dario from Italy! I started moving in the arcade world not long ago with the purchase of a Neo Geo cabinet. I hope to learn more of this world, both historically and technically speaking, and maybe find some friends!

Re: Introduce yourself here!
Hey there! I'm Paul, but I go by Conversus W. Vans on the Internet. I'm here because I have a passion for arcade games, and that I guess you can call me a geek and an "otaku", heh.
My current icon is Ayano Sugiura from YuruYuri, a slice-of-life manga and anime series. She's pretty wild for TOSHINO KYOKO! Lol.
Some of my favorite arcade games include: House of the Dead 1&2, Jambo Safari, Crazy Taxi, Harley-Davidson & LA Riders, Vampire Savior (Bulleta all day), and most Capcom fighting games. Good taste there?
This message board seems very friendly for arcade game discussions, so that's why I'm joining in.
Cheers!
