HI, I am living just outside Winchester in the UK. I have a fairly good collection of consoles and computers (I am currently hooked on Japanese auction sites) and I am interested in getting into arcade machines from the 80's if I can find space in my flat. My first experience with an arcade machine was night driver which dates me a bit. I would love to own an original R-Type but at the moment have to make do with my Mister.

Hi everyone,

Happy to join this great community! I've been into arcade and retro gaming for years, mostly 2D shooters and a bit of racing — Sega Rally and DoDonPachi are in my top tier. Just recently started getting serious about building a proper setup at home (my wallet already hates me).

Looking forward to learning, sharing and maybe finding a few good deals in the marketplace later on!

Cheers from France 🇫🇷

Greetings from Poland.

I used to be a console and game collector, but for a while now I've been collecting only arcade games. I'm also taking my first steps in repairing game PCBs – I've already had a few successes. This hobby is fantastic... but it takes up so much space ;(

Hello! Lifelong arcade enthusiast, got my first cab (a Neo Geo) around 20 years ago and just recently picked up my very own New Astro City after a decade+ search for a local seller!

Hello, my name is Manuel, and I'm from southern Spain and live in Valencia. I've been around for half a century and have been connected to the world of arcades and pinball for almost 30 years.
Although I had a thorn stuck in my side with the Naomi system and I was thinking of getting it out... but it seems that it is getting stuck in me more and more and that's how I ended up here, to see if I can get some wisdom and advice so I don't throw it all out the window.

Greetings to the entire community, Manuel.

Hi all, long time UKVAC member, Candy cab collector, street fighter board & MVS cart collector too......,...

I have a nice collection of 2x New Net city's, New astro city, Blast city, Vewlix C and a couple of twin racer cabs (Daytona 2 & Outrun 2)....

Probably not going to buy anything more a anytime soon, but there is always something that can peak my interest (New Versus City would be cool but never see them)
