Hello from Kettering

Hi all!

I’m a big gamer across multiple systems and generations and have been collecting for a decade or 2 at this point.

I’ve got lots of experience with console gaming but arcades feel like an exciting new area to look into which is almost entirely new to me. I’m planning to dip my toes in a little, starting with MVS mainly because it seems like the most accessible way to jump in!

Looking forward to being part of the forum!

Welcome to UKVAC !!! Arcade stuff is great but like everything has tripled in price in the last few years.

Welcome to the forum mate!

For MVS, i'd suggest picking up an MV1 mother board (£50-75) and a supergun with switching PSU (£50-75ish depending on what you get) as well as an original Neo Geo controller (£75ish) and a 160 in 1 (yellow) multicart (£80ish).

That'll get you going with (practically) original hardware and most of the best games for under £300.

Welcome!
The Neo Geo was my first introduction to arcades in home,its an easy setup...

Thanks everyone! Yep, I was planning to go with something fairly simple for Neo geo games as recommended. I’ll probably buy some carts for the games but the multicart still seems like a smart purchase to at least try before I buy, and to play some of the pricier games!
