Hello everyone,

Im a collector/gamer in my mid 30s, currently living in Newcastle Upon Tyne.

Mega Drive, Snes, Nes, Gameboy and Retro arcade. (a tiny bit of N64 but not too much as I'm bit allergic to first gen 3D.

Joined this forum to link up with the uk arcade community and also looking to make my first acquisition of a candy cab.

Will try to get some picture up once my dedicated room is finished!

Favorite game: Super Metroid

Well if you wanted to go the whole hog, you could get a Nintendo super system arcade cabinet and have super Metroid running on it. But I'm only guessing that game was released on it.

Second expensive route would be a Nintendo pc10 system and then you could have the original metroids running on it.

Candy cabs pop up regularly enough here though, not so hard to get

Hey Mysticmonk, thanks for your precious advice.

For my candy cab, I'm currently thinking of a combo Neo Geo MVS + 161 in 1 cartridge as a start. Knowing myself though, I would then get tempted to get some original PCBs (like Donkey Kong per example). The scary part is having all those pieces of history break down one day which seems to be the inevitable destiny of original parts. I'm not an electronic experts but curious to get into it, at least the minimum to take care of things.

PC10 system doesn't look like something you would find in a garage sell - how difficult it would be to find one you think?

Edit: list of games for Nintendo Super System: Pushover, Lethal Weapon, Robocop 3, The Addams Family, Act Raiser, NCAA Basketball, Super Soccer, Skins Golf, Super Tennis, Super Mario World, and F-Zero, Contra 3: Alien Attack, and Ultimate Tennis NSS.
