Title: My introduction
Post by: Vond on July 11, 2013, 06:58:17 PM: Hello everyone!

Finally decided to introduce myself here on the forum.
I have been reading along with Xentraz/Marjolein (my girlfriend) for some time now and finally caved in. Hello!

First things things I guess; 27 year old guy from the northern part of the Netherlands (Veendam)
I have been collecting (and playing) some vintage equipment for some time now
although I've mostly been into home consoles i have to admit that i can't deny
wanting to pick up a cab lately. Still unsure exactly which one though although i'm sure it wont be long now
before we get to bask in its glow. In fact, we've already moved our retrogame-room to another part of the house
in anticipation of a cab or two. The room is still under construction though, going for an all black+neon details look
reminiscent of ye olde arcade halls. Still working on the neon-decals to go on the walls and add more shelf's to hold
the game collections.

I'm truly impressed by the community spirit that roams this forum and happy to join in! ;D

A few questions for you already:

1. which (kind of) games are you two looking for. Cabs I mean, which games make your heart thick faster?
2. Can you elaborate a bit more about the neon-decals, what type of decals are these?

Post by: Vond on July 12, 2013, 07:50:10 AM: First of all thank you all for the hearty welcome!
I noticed i have completely forgotten to say my name: Rene Kuntkes. Oops

ckong:
I am really quite fond of Centipede, Berzerk, Robotron and the mighty Crystal Castles.
Like i've said i'll likely end up with more cabinets...i'm doomed before i begin hehe.
About the neon-decals, I'm going for the blocky Atari2600 sprites; Adventures duck-dragon, Blinky, Pinky, Inky or Clyde.
Spike (from the Vectrex) and probably a larger then live Atari logo somewhere.

chrischris:
Haha, secretly we have been planning the Eurocade for a while now :oops: :lol:
And don't worry, pictures will be posted soon enough!

Laszo:
Im quite fond of the old classics, altough I dont mind playing candy every now and then :)

Once again, thanx for the warm welcome!
