Hi All,
I say Overdue because i've already made a few posts without inroducing myself. I was pretty much a full time lurker on the UKVAC newsgroups back in the day, I went to the VAC Game On meet at the Barbican, along with Shaun (retroshaun?) who worked for EA games if I remember right. I couldn't make the beer session after as i went to see the Damned at the Shepards bush Empire. Never been much of a big poster lol as you can see, but have been in the hobby for a good while now and am trying to be more proactive in fixing/playing my games.
So hello!
Anyway I'm Martin & live in Fleet Hampshire.
I got my first Jamma machine in '97, and currently have four Atari Cabarets, another jamma cab and a selfmade unfinished mdf bartop with a 48 in 1 in. I've also owned a Midway SI and Hang-on which came from Oll, i think when he got a shed load of cabs from Germany, and a Outrun Mini. I sold those when i moved house last January, much to my regret now.
I'm currently converting part of my garage about 3m x 2.5m into a useable arcade space, having another space for a bench testing setup. Its not going to be big, but i should be able to fit a few more cabs in.
I love the late 70s/early 80's Atari stuff & the Mid 80's Sega cabs.
I've met a few of the people from the board over the years, so hello if we've met before and hello if we haven't.
Take it easy, Mart.
