Hi everyone!
My name is Simon and I'm located in the East of England (Suffolk) with close proximity to Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft (and all the other little places along the coast).
I've been into video games and arcade machines since I was a young lad (a looong time ago - I'm in my late 40's now!) and used to spend a unhealthy amount of time in the arcades around here. The Claremont Pier in Lowestoft was a favourite haunt along with trips to Yarmouth.
I was fortunate to be around in the 80's when video games really kicked off; so much fun and a lot of good memories...
Anyway, I've always had the 'bug' and I dabbled with some JAMMA cabs and old fruit machines (Hot Pot, Smash and Grab, Big Banker among a few) a few years ago. Bought them, did them up etc. As well as that, I made MAME cabinets for a short while, both new builds and converted JAMMA cabs.
After a break from all this, I realised that I was missing the classics so last year I built myself a new MAME cabinet and a digital pinball machine (links below to my Google Photo albums) and I'm now keeping an eye out for anything of interest. I picked up a Fatspanner/Paragon INDE SWP last week from a nice guy named Keith up in Northumberland (pictures to follow) that's now sitting in my games room.
That's enough from me; see you in the forums!
Simon
