Hi! Bart from zee Netherlands here.
Bought an MVS board a year or so ago, bought some games while someone was so helpful to fix the board. Well, still haven't played one game unfortunately haha
Looking a bit further now, let's check this forum.
Good night all.

I've been away for a good while apparently. Just thought I'd pop up in here again to say 'hello'.

Hello!

[Phil]

Hi, Phil is the name. I'm from (East)Berlin, Germany.
Therefore the very first Arcades I've played were "Sea battle" from the USSR republics (a strange electromechanical machine) and "Hase & Wolf" on the POLYPLAY, produced in the former GDR in 1987.
To be honest I am here to expand my PCB collection (mostly Shmups).

Hi all!,

Finally got around to register. Been lurking for years I've been collecting video games on and off for 20 or so years. I got into arcade stuff 5-6 years ago and my consoles have not been used much since.
Glad to be here!

Hi there.

Been a lurker for a while, so thought Id pop up and say hi.

Ive got a good number of cabs, but mainly stuff from 80's earlier 90s.

Have a nice Aero City Id like to finish, so looking for some advice on that one.

[crawdingle]

Hi from Atlantic Canada! I've currently got an Astro City and a supergun. Hopefully to be a bigger collection when I eventually move to a larger house!

Hey all, I've just staarted on my MVS collection and it's lead me here...

Started streaming Metal Slug on PC, until I hit a 1cc, then a no death, then a 1cc on hardest difficulty (never again!!), then a 1cc Metal Slug 2, now I'm working on X (which is WAY tougher than 2!!).

Anyway, I realised that I really wanted to beat these games authentically, so I have an MVSC being put together right now and a nice colection of MVS Metal Slug carts (plus Turf Masters and an NEOSD Pro), most of which were battered and have been given new shells, repro stickers and shock boxes.

Sadly, I still can't find a decent original copy of MS5.

Anyway, I've now started looking for a candy cab and have absolutely fallen in love with the MVS-U4. So I'm keeping a keep eye out.

Nice to meet you all

[arcadeswede]

A swede born in early 80s. I was very tempted in the early 20s to get hold of genuine arcade stuff, especially PCBs, which were not emulated and could only be enjoyed in its original state. I have increased my collection since the start quite alot, but limited space and network kinda limit my plans, so I have been forced to compromise in in my older days.

I will start to add some PCBs for sale ASAP. I have experience to ship abroad, but it was MANY years ago. However, I do my best to show my potential buyers the functionality of the PCBs in case of hesitations

Thats all for now!

Hi everyone!

François "ISIMORN" CRINON from France. I am an arcade player since 2010, mainly about Super Turbo and Third Strike for competition, but I also enjoy those late night party around our cabs playing more fancy fighting games like Karnov's Revenge, Double Dragon... I also organize tournaments within the LaDOSE association, like X Street Battle and TheMIXUP.

I owned a lot of cabs already in my life, beginning with an New Astro, then a Versus City, then 2 more Astro and a Blast... Well, now I only have 4 Blast City but I may get back a pair of New Astro, because my girlfriend prefers it for the living room instead of those huge Blast
The LaDOSE association used to live inside the Gamespirit Gamecenter in Lyon, but now we have our own cabs, 10 Astro/New Astro City and we do our events in a highschool, still in Lyon of course.

I would be glad to access this forum to get better at CRT maintenance and also follow arcade projects from the community.

[MrNewVegas]

Been registered for a while. Looking to eventually get into the Buy and Sell side so I can grab some PCBs! I currently have two blast city’s and my knowledge is fairly slim.
