Hi everyone, only signed up for the forum recently so thought it was best to say hello!
My name is Steve and I live in Ramsbottom, only ten minutes from Bury and the fabled Arcade Club. I've been many times and it's always well worth the visit.
I own a Videomaster arcade machine that I've had for the last 20 years. Unfortunately it doesn't get as many plays as it deserves but I still love it and would never be persuaded to part with it. It's currently running a Megadrive that has been adapted to connect to a JAMMA loom. Quite easy to do, just needs a couple of spare pads, a din connector and a bit of soldering. It also contains an 'Aliens the Arcade Game' PCB which was my favorite game growing up as a kid.
These days Galaxian is my classic arcade game of choice. I work as a Systems Developer for an ISP based in Rochdale and, for a while, we had a cocktail table running the SuperG hack which we played for high scores at lunch. Unfortunately it stopped working one day and then disappeared. Been hooked ever since and have successfully managed my addiction thus far through regular visits to Arcade club.
I've recently acquired a Galaxian PCB and am working on some ideas for a self-build cab. I'm on the look out for any original Galaxian upright parts, so please give me a shout if you have anything that you can be persuaded to part with.
Thanks,
Steve
