A big Hello!
to everyone in the community. I have mooched about on the forum for quite a while, but not posted before. I have been into arcade games and video games in general my whole life. At home, I started out on the old home pong clones, followed by Intellivision and then the old dead flesh 48k speccy! As I got into my teens and onwards I progressed through all the Nintendo consoles. Today, I have a PS4, but have still stuck with Ninty and love my Switch. My first arcade experience was playing on the cocktail cab at the local football supporters club when I was only about 5, with DK being my first game (mostly watching others play, bit tricky for a little nipper), followed by Pacman. In the 80's to early 90's the holiday park or seaside arcade was heaven to me and where I played most of the games we know and love. Last month I finally got to Arcade Club and wow! Did those memories come flooding back. I can't praise Andy and the staff enough, what an amazing place and what a great atmosphere. Living in the Westcountry, my visits aren't going to be as often as I'd like, but at least an annual pilgrimage is in order! Bit of a cliche, I know, but I do hope to get a DK for home at some point in the not too distant. Anyway, no posts to War and Peace in 1 shot, so I will leave it there for now, apart from Hello and best wishes to a?l!!
