Hello Everyone

OliverRetro here... nice to meet you.

I got into the community after hearing about Arcade Club in Bury (I am Lancs based too) and I then came across a few YouTube Channels... Nintendo Arcade, onaretrotip, Johns Arcade (the yank!), Ten Pence Arcade and so on...

Let me start with my silly question first, I used to be a mod for Forums and I wouldn't want to commit a faux pas! :)

Is this forum purely about Arcade Games - as in Cabinets / Cocktails etc....? OR does it include consoles too?

Well I have nothing at the moment, trying to recover an old Amiga & Atari 2600 in storage.

In terms of cabs I am interested in, well I am a long way from that just now. But I suppose Operation Wold, New Zealand Story, Pang, Space Invaders, Galaga, OutRun, Pole Position ... and maybe a MAME too. But I didn't say that :)

I am also interested in learning how to repair the cabs too, but one thing at a time.

Maybe see you at Arcade Club sometime.

Cheers!

Welcome to this fantastic forum, Make sure you have some space as you'll have a cab in no time!
I joined looking for one, now I have 10!!!

Space will be the issue! :)

The more I think about it the more I want to recreate an arcade of old in my house. I might just take the kitchen out and put the cabs in there

Remember it when you're talking to the builders about the extension or digging out a basement

Haha joined looking for one. Yes - been there, and now I have four cabs and I'm looking for my fifth...

Let's not mention the small-but-growing pile of spare monitors, too.

Welcome along. It's a fine hobby.
