Hi

[arsenalfox]

Hi there, I am originally from Ramsgate, Kent where I "learnt my craft"

in all things arcade. I played a lot of both fruit machines and arcade games before the big arcade burnt down

I currently only have a MAME cabinet and retro game collection. One day hopefully I'll be able to pick up the real deals and get a couple of cabinets/fruit machines.

Welcome to the ‘Vac

Out of curiosity, what fruit machines where you playing back in the day?

I’m from the PCP era, games like Win-A-Gain, Spoof and Bank Raid. Pretty much stopped playing after the likes of Andy Capp, Road Hog, Simpsons (original Maygay M1A version), Rollercoaster & Monopoly 60 had passed.

Thanks

I played a bit everything, started off the old bar X's, reel crazy, lite a nudge, cash explosion, cloud 999.

Then towards the end was playing the stuff you mentioned cops n robbers, Andy capp, roller coaster, road hog, viva Las Vegas, money talks.

Thanks for the welcomes

The arcade that burnt down was called Pleasurama

Even had most of my birthday parties there too as it had a big soft play/fun zone
