Today I got rid of my Raiden bootleg PCB (sold it to another swedish enthusiast). I’ve found that I don’t really like Raiden or Raiden II. Also got a DreamCast console that I plan to hook up to my Macrown 29″ and play Virtua Tennis, Border Down or other great games

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!
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.
