Title: hello everyone
Post by: xentraz on July 01, 2013, 10:16:14 AM

Hello i am Marjolein from the netherlands. I do not own an arcade cab (yet) but i do have a game room with several retro consoles. I joined this forum because from what i've read it seems a really nice community. I found this site through the eurocade site, and hoping to participate at last one day of it.

You can say what you want about Videpac, but those hard plastic boxes (that you can stack) were a brilliant idea.

And some games are still real fun to play too. Especially pickaxe Pete and baseball

Nice collection Marjolein, you seriously need an Atari 8 bit home computer or XEGS though :):)

Pfff lies!
There's always more room!
And if not, Then I take it we don't have any room left for a Robotron cab either? ;)
