I traded my Metal Slug 3 and Metal Slug 4 MVS carts with a great guy in the UK and now I have Rush & Crash and Super Space Invaders ’91! Both games are titles I grew up playing and I’ve always wanted these in my collection.

I was kinda bored today, so I made a background image for my XBox 360 dashboard to fit my EGRET II as it’s more or less a “dedicated” cabinet console. Looks nice: Close up and horizontal view (please don’t laugh at my measly gamer-score): Background image can be downloaded from here

Finally had a fitting moment to pull the Gemini Wing bootleg I bought back in March out of storage to snap a picture of it. It’s now added to the GAMES page on this site.

Aaaand here’s the mysterious B-board: Progear No Arashi (bootleg). This is a Euro cart converted to run the excellent CAVE title normally only available on Japanese or US carts.

Picked up a CPS2 mobo locally. Just waiting for that special B-board. Yesterday I received a Papst fan that I’m gonna put in the mobo to make everything quiet and nice.
About me
Hi folks,
I'm a bit too old (born 1974), father of two girls and one boy and have been an avid arcade game fan since I first got to play Knuckle Joe (the game's really crap, what was Taito thinking?) but it got me hooked. Me and a couple of my friends used to ride our bikes around town just to check out the latest games. And we we're really good at playing them. Luckily for me, the game operators responsible for the machines around my home town really had a great feel for what games would be popular.
Look at my collection to see some of the titles that I now as an adult had do have. I was too young to play at the local video rental (they had two NSM cabinets and later switched one of them to a JK Cabinet) and the best operator in town, Video Games was their name.
I stood there watching the older kids play. There was the 15 year age-limit and I was only about 13 at the time. I also played a lot on Aleph cabinets. The operator that favoured those is called Adon-Bolagen.
