Hello gentlemen,

I have been a member at Neo-Geo.com for over a year now. This site has been pointed out to me by a few different people, and I thought it was about time to sign up! I just started to collect PCB's boards and am looking forward to contribute to the community.

Hi, just came across this forum and thought I'd check it out. Always had a fascination with arcade cabinets and enjoy meeting others who have an interest in it. Although I get the impression this is mainly a European forum, but that's cool. :)

So far, let's change that though :) Get's boring on the forum and IRC once all the brits go to bed!

Hi there,

Met a few members over at the candy cabs at R3play and thought i'd introduce myself. Names Jeff from Leeds into the Japanese arcade scene, shmups, beat em ups, retro gaming, indie games, vg music, web development, games design, gameplay theory, games industry business. So Nothing remotely geeky then. ;)

Hi everyone, i'm new at the Arcade Otaku forum.

I've been dreaming about getting a arcade cab since i was a little boy, so now i'm looking around the Internet, searching for a nice cabinet. Got told by a friendly member of the swedish arcade website Arkadtorget to join this forum in my search for the perfect cab.

So. My name is Linus, 27 year old and from the cold country up in the north - Sweden. I'm a dedicated computer nerd and a slacking gamer.

Hoping to grab some useful information here :)

Loha. Been lurking here for Over a year now, ive met a few of you at insertcoin 2009 and more recently at r3play. About time I introduced myself properly!

Got into making super guns 10 years ago or so to facilitate playing MVS without owning a cab (cos i was a poor student). Sold quite a few under the guise of Uberia.

Got my first candy cab about 8 years ago, own 2 at the moment, LS sound 25 and Egret 2.

Favourite game genre is vertical shooters. Dabble with the odd fighter but generally get my **** handed to me.

HI! :D

Each post you make increases your XP (by 1) For every 100 posts, your level increases by 1. once you hit 1,000 you get a custom rank generally dished out by Pang & Cools.

It’s much like ebay. For anything you buy, sell or trade you can post feedback. From Left to right, the little numbers are, Positive / Neutral / Negative.

Welcome to all the new faces. I’m sure you’ll have a ball here.

Halo,
Forgot I signed up here, till I just got the deactivation email! oops, I am Ben, collector of Arcade stuff and retro games, you may have seen me on other forums under my other username bensonrad. I hope to get a bit more involved and love reading/absorbing info. Plan is at somepoint, (money permiting) is to build a mini arcade at the bottom of my garden and fix the things that keep breaking. :lol:
Cheers
Ben

Hello all,

I am well into Shmups and I fancy getting my hands on a few PCB exclusives.

I do not own any PCBs at present but wish to rectify this.

I will no doubt pick up a cab at some point.

Cheers
