Mark here, from the south-east. I grew up on the late-70s and 80s
arcades: the Soho arcades, Margate, the Trading Post in Dartford, and the machines at a local
squash club where a mate and I spent our Sunday afternoons.
A few years ago I built a shallow Defender-style cabinet running
on a Raspberry Pi, with swappable Defender and Robotron control panels (the wife hated it )....
The reason I've finally signed up: I've been digging through some 1979-80 ROMs and
found hidden anti-bootleg traps in a few Taito and Atari games, which give away free
credits on pirate boards. A UKVAC thread on Space Invaders Part II already helped me
along the way, so it seemed only right to come and say hello. I'll post the details
in General Arcade Discussions, as I'd love input from anyone with real
boards.
Looking forward to it.
