Hello all

[Meeper]

Hi everyone!

I’m Ronni from Denmark.

When I was a kid the best thing that could possible happen to me was my mom taking me to an Arcade.
Now I’m a forty-one year old man and one if the best things that happened to me recently was finally getting an arcade cabinet of my own.

I’m new at this and looking forward to participating in the Arcade collecting community. For now I have one generic Jamma cab with a CRT. I don’t have any PCB’s yet so I’m running with at Pi2Jamma for now.
I will probably pick up my first PCB through the trade forum.

I mainly like Beat’em’Ups and Shooters. Faves include Double dragon, Final fight, Golden Axe, Cabal, 1942, Star Wars vector games and the occasional Bubble Bobble.

See you on the Forums!

Best regards,
Ronni

Hi Ronni,

Welcome to the ‘Vac

What was the arcade scene like there in Denmark back in the day? Where I live near the seaside here there were plenty of arcades around so I had lots of choice of games to play

What PCB are you looking to looking to put in your cab? Or are you thinking maybe get a few so you can swop them around occasionally?

Back in the day we had Arcades in some of the shopping malls, cinemas and in amusement parks. When my mom went shopping she would usually leave me in an Arcade with a supply of coins. When I ran out of coins I would look at the other people playing and all the attract modes. I would probably get to play once or twice a month.

One of the highlights was going to Tivoli amusement park in Copenhagen and playing a sitdown Star Wars cab. That cabinet as well as the sitdown Afterburner, Time Crisis and Dragons Lair are probably the dedicated cabinets I remember best. All in all I had a good selection to play on.

I will probably pick up some beat em up PCBs initially and swap them around in my one cab. Down the line I’ll try and get another cab for vertical games and put some shoot em ups in that one. Matbe I’ll see if I can pick up a dedicated gun game cabinet as well at some point. I have a dedicated room and can fit 5-6 cabinets in there. Down the Rabbits Hole I go
