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.

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 …

Been a while since the last update. I’ve today sold my Rampage World Tour PCB because it’s kind of a nuicance getting it to run (demands -5V, but might even be broken, buyer was aware though). Not much else is new, I’ve been putting all of my time into playing Ketsui on the 360 and …

Last night I finished the new 1L5B-panel for the new EGRET II and I am very pleased with the look and overall greatness of it. 😛 I wanted to try out some new stuff, so I’ve modded an Seimitsu LS-32 joystick with an LS-40 shaft. This is also known as the LS-36 (not an official …

Picked up my second EGRET II today: (Sorry for the iPhone picture, I didn’t have a lot of time tonight). It does have some scuffs in the bezel and surrounding body, but just some fast touching up with some appliance paint really made a whole world of difference right away. Already ordered parts to assemble …

Finally sourced and bought another EGRET II. As soon as the weather allows, I’ll go get it and post some pictures of it as well. Will be great to play some ESPGALUDA in it, and ESPGALUDA II (360) in my other one as that’ll be arriving this week. I have something else coming as well. …

The JK cabinet was picked up today, so now I only have my EGRET II. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for another one to show up.

The removal of arcade stuff is ongoing in my life at the moment. We’ve moved to a new apartment, and I can no longer fit three cabinets, so moving stuff that doesn’t get enough use is crucial. The JK cabinet is now sold (sadly way too cheap) and is awaiting pickup next weekend. The search …
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.
