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!

Today my Time Pilot pcb arrived. To my dismay, it was labelled “Space Pilot”, the bootleg version of Time Pilot. It’s a really nice bootleg, but I would have preferred it to be a Konami original board. Well, time will tell, I haven’t gotten my Konami Classic to JAMMA adapter yet, so I’m keeping my …

Recieved a Rolling Thunder pcb from eBay/The Us. Very quick indeed. Had to clean it with a Wettex, because it had about 20 years of dust on it, so I’m gonna let it rest until tomorrow so it’s dry enough for testing. This is a happy day, since this is one of those games that …
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.
