Well, I’ve actually had this about a month now, but it’s been a month filled with problems. I got myself a “brand new” Chinese made Xiong Ba tri-sync 29″ sitdown cabinet. Yes, this was shipped to Sweden directly from Macrown in China where it had been assembled. But unfortunately, quality is something they take lightly …

There was a box from Hong Kong… Now I have an Atomiswave motherboard + Dolphin Blue cart, Raiden 2 PCB, Do Donpachi II / Bee Storm cart and my first CAVE pcb, ESP Ra.De!

I got a Storm Blade PCB and a IGS PGM motherboard a couple of days ago. Still waiting for games for the mobo, but that’s for next update

Yesterday was a day of joy and excitement. My new cabinet, a Taito Egret II arrived! This will surely be in vertical mode most of the time. I have tested using a laptop and a J-Pac in it and it’s really great for playing Raiden III. This is not the new-in-box thing that I’m replacing …

Received a Last Resort MVS cart that I bought at a “can’t resist” price last week. Nice. Also extended the yellow area to the right so the scrollbar fits better with the layout. I was really bothered with that for a while. đ

Today, my stupid mail-man had shoved the Gunbird PCB I was waiting for into my mailbox. Stupid! It isn’t working, and now I can’t tell if it was broken when sent out either. Stupid!

Recieved two MVS carts in the mail, Aero Fighters 2 and Blazing Star. I felt I needed some good shmups for horizontal gaming, and you can’t get any better than these two imho. Also made the design of these pages a bit slimmer so people with 4:3/3:4 monitors will have more fun browsing them. Here’s hoping people with …
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.
