Title: Hey from the uk!
Post by: Jonesy on September 10, 2010, 11:50:29 PM: Hi guys,

Been a member here for a while now although never posted as i've been away from the hobby for a while but i'm back! I've been collecting since 1998 and have owned roughly 30 dedicated cabs in this time and have done quite a few restorations. I'm into dedicated machines only and hope my collection will be growing in numbers again now the bug is back

Anyhow, i hope to catch you guys on here

cheers

Welcome to this excellent forum (says the newbie)!
I go at least twice a year in England (round Oxford) to visit my parents in law...
... do you have any recommendations of nice arcade related places I should check while there?
I could even bring a cab back if I don't bring too many luggages ;)

No to be honest Arcades in the UK consist of Fruit machines, Pushers or Quiz Machines :-\ the only decent Arcade i know of is my house :lol:

Sega Parks are as close as you'll get to some Videos and they really aren't worth bothering with unless of course you want to play Sega Rally

Post by: Jonesy on September 22, 2010, 12:06:24 AM: Yep definately, those two are both worth a visit and ten times better than any Sega Park!
