Re: Introduce yourself here!

Post by NewArcadeGamer »

Greetings to everyone!

I’m new to this board, and I’m not specialized in arcade machines.
I collect anything you can play video games on. ;)

In 2014, I bought my first arcade-like console—the Neo Geo AES—for 80€ from france, along with 4 LowCost AES games, many empty MVS & AES shells, and one arcade board. Bought as junk, but the preowner uses a 9V Powersupply. Lucky, that the console is OK. It has the wrong case, odd voltage on it.
It is the first Rev of the (Japanese) version, someone tells me.
This board needs 5V. I will let the board in origin state.

In 2023, I got my first consolized MVS and started collecting the Metal Slug series. Now I own 1-X. Only 5 an „6“ not.
Shmups follows slowly—my favorite is Pulstar.
Cause of the pricing at AES, focused on MVS.
Fullset on games, is not my target. I‘m not building a private Fort Knox, I want to play good games. ;)

From SNK, I own an NGP, NGPC, and NGCD—all bought at a time when these items were very cheap. But now, my focus is solely on the big cartridges.

I‘m very interested on machines, beside SNKs NeoGeo.

Best wishes to all!

Hi, I’m Josh, from Wyoming in the US. I’ve been a collector of regular video games for about 15 years, but recently I realized that the new stuff isn’t really doing it for me anymore and turned my focus to retro. In doing so I’ve been playing a lot more arcade-type games (mostly shmups), and decided to learn more about the arcade scene. I’m super new to this so I may have questions - bear with me!

Hi im Toomas, I’m 42 and originally from Estonia but live permanently in Perth, Western Australia.
I’ve been collecting 90s Japanese video games since mid last year. And since I suppose I really hate money I started to put together CPS2 setup. And that’s what brings me here - hoping to get some good tips and buy few games.

Hello! First time poster. I'm quite a novice when it comes to arcade but have developed a burning interest to re experience schmups and shoot em ups from my childhood, but also getting under the hood and understanding the logics behind how an arcade game operates. This in turn has led to many hours trying to repair faulty boards but man that feeling when you get it right!

Hey all,

I'm an arcade newbie getting into the scene.

I currently have a Sega Naomi setup and a Neo-Geo MVS setup, but am looking into expanding my horizons from there.

Heya! I’m Ray and recently got into the hobby. I always loved the look of candy cabs but being a New York kid didn’t see them much growing up. Bought a Unico NovaBlast and have been modifying it to be more friendly with my PCBs. Looking forward to chasing some high scores and talking with you all!
