Introduction and my arcade collection

[Tyrem]

Hey guys!

First I want to indroduce myself. My name is Stefan, 44 years old from Germany and I started collecting dedicated arcade machines 3 years ago. I focus on games that have a certain history for me, games I played when I was a kid.

Some of you may know me from DLF (or from some not so nice postings about me from a certain member here that does not like me).

I am frequently updating my Tumblr whenever my collection grows... so feel free to check it out.

We all share an amazing hobby and I am glad to be part of UKvAc now.

Greetings!

Stefan

Hi and welcome to UKVAC, Stefan!

WOW, what a collection!

 

[Tyrem]

Cheers mate! Last time I counted I had 45 machines in my basement. But I guess my hunt is not over yet.

 

[phillv85]

Wow, that's some collection

 

[Tyrem]

I will keep you updated as soon as the collection grows.

Welcome mate, as I said in your DLF post you have a spectacular collection - I am sure most of us would be like a kid in a sweet shop in your basement.
When you tire of your jungle king be sure to give me a shout

Yeah.. we are working on that one for quite a while.

We have savekits for DK, Gyruss, Frogger, Gorf, Wizard of Wor, Space Zap, Time Pilot and Scramble in the making.

You can take a look at our online-highscoretable here:

It is quite cool. The cab uploads it´s score to the table. We also gave some games initials that did not have them on the orginal roms. You can also change all the settings on the screen. No need to use the dips any longer.

thank you, Jodo. Road Blasters was on my list right from the beginning. And it had to be the cockpit cause that was the machine located in one of the pubs I used to hang out. Next to it was a Double Dragon... I still need that one.

Hey Stefan, welcome to the forum, you have a superb collection of classics that all look in great condition.

The save kits look interesting too, thanks for sharing

Yeah much respect for the Road Blasters cockpit... from what I remember that thing is huge.
