Removed this from my MVS collection as I got a Super 138-in-1 cart instead. This is very nice as it has a dedicated menu PCB (you sandwich mount this between the mobo and the JAMMA harness) that lets you edit the game list shown which lets you remove all of the silly hacks, fighter revisions …

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 …

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 …

My beloved Xiong Ba cabinet and my Red Box multi-PCB are both sold and has left the building. I’m really happy I got the cabinet sold right now, as I was on the verge of some major reconstruction on it. Typically, I usually start stuff I really regret later on, but this time a buyer …

Trimmed the collection somewhat. Vimana and Psy-Conics Oscar are both sold, and I just traded my Raiden Fighters 2 (including the SPI mobo) for an Ibara PCB. These games are all great, but does not get enough play time from me and will hopefully end up getting more love in their new homes. Getting the …

DoDonpachi DOJ-BLEX has arrived and is really fun to play. Too bad that the loading times is laughable at best, and the game isn’t compatible with my hacked pad, as I have to sync it everytime I’ve made a choice in the game’s menus. In other news, I’ve sold my Arkanoid PCB+JAMMA adapter, and the …

Time for a little update on things. I’ve sold my Tetris Plus 2 cart for the Jaleco Mega System 32, and now only have the glorious P-47 Aces left. I’ve recieved the Extron Super Emotia and successfully installed that into my EGRET II, and am currently waiting for Do Donpachi DOJ-BLEX for the 360 to …

I’ve sold my Rastan PCB. Never gets played anyway, and I will rather have some nice things for my cabinets right now. Will get 2.1 speakers for my EGRET II, and a Extron Super Emotia video converter I got off eBay needs a power stepdown converter so I can play vertical high res (Japanese XBox …

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.
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.
