Thanks everyone. My favourite game that I can remember pumping all my pocket money into was Outrun and I still love it to this day. Although I don't have the space in my place for Outrun cab (although it would be nice and I have a whining girlfriend I could move out
).
As for cabs I have a MVS Lordsvale with toppled L shaped button layout rather than the nice curved layout, still nice though and I've always been a sucker for Neo Geo games, and a generic jamma cab I was given a little while ago. My jamma cab has a monitor fault at the moment but I think I may have figured out the component I need to replace so that should be up and running again soon...hopefully.
Good to see there are some members from around these parts as well
