Addictive ain't it!

Hi all,

Been lurking for a while, thought I'd say hello. Been slowly getting interested in the arcade scene over the last few months.

I'm a digital artist, work making installations and interactive works for public spaces ( www.ludicrooms.com) and we needed a cab for a project we were working on.

Bought a fixer upper Videomaster cab listed as spares / repairs that turned out to work perfectly and had working MIA and Raiden PCB's inside. So that now sits proudly in the corner of the studios.

Also bought a Lordsvale Play Scene generic cab. That one is taking a little more attention, but it did have a bunch of MVS carts hidden in the base that the previous owner had clearly never found.

I'd like to say I'd stop at two cabs, but something tells me this might continue.

Anyway. How do!? Thanks in advance and all that.

Dom

Hi Dom.

Welcome to ukvac! It is very addictive - I doubt there are any members who have managed to stop at just one, and it sounds like you've had some excellent luck with your cab purchases so the universe clearly wants you to keep collecting :)

Are there any particular game genres you're into?

Cheers
tim

I like schmups, was definitely pleased to find Raiden hiding inside the Videomaster.

I'm tempted to lay my hands on a MVS board as I'm pretty keen on coop platform fighters too, double dragon etc and one of the carts I found myself the proud owner of was Mutation Nation.

Most of my formative playing was in the early 90's so can't avoid fighters either though, SF2 etc.

Welcome mate!

Give it a few years and you'll be spending thousands on your grail cabs and pinball machines, and finding your wardrobe full of geeky game-related t-shirts :)
