Bought some nice stuff for my cabinets, since game releases are a couple of weeks away. Still waiting for the pre-orders to open up at my favourite web-store for Do-Donpachi Dai-Fukkatsu 1.5 and Muchi Muchi Pork/Pink Sweets. New buttons for the panel where I put Sanwa RGs before. I went with Seimitus with clear plunger …

Sold a couple of games and invested in a reproduction overlay for my new EGRET II 1L7B panel. Super Contra as well as Gunforce are now gone from the collection. Never mind as I never play them anyway. Someone elses treasure now, hopefully.

New panel for the EGRET II has arrived and is installed. I’ve fashioned a harness for it, so it’s completely plug ‘n play with the EGRET II/Atomiswave SD standards. This panel is fitted with a Suzo 500 stick and Seimitsu pearl buttons, as that’s what I’ve grown acustomed to. I’ve made an order from SEGAShed …

NEW design! The yellow and black is very nice, but I thought it was time for a new look. Kinda has an EGRET III vibe going on. Also had a look at the links on my misc page and removed those who sadly no longer work + added a few that does. Also, during these …

New JAMMA harness installed in the JK cabinet. Everything is perfectly setup and I took the opportunity of upgrading the crappy speaker to one that I found in the subwoofer of a busted 2.1 system at the local recycling station. It really sounds so much better now. The bass is now heard. Not ONLY screechy …

Haven’t had much funds to spend on arcade games/cabinet updates lately. A very nice guy has lent me his Ketsui PCB, so now I’m learning much about this beautiful gem from CAVE. I’ve devised a nice instruction card-holder to replace the totally unneccesary ashtray in my Xiong Ba cabinet. Looks really nice, doesn’t it? I’ve …

Yesterday my new CPO arrived for my Xiong Ba cabinet arrived from MAME Marquees. It took a couple of hours but it’s now in place. Click here to see the work in progress pics.
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.
