Hello from Devon, UK!
« on: August 22, 2010, 09:56:35 PM »
Just a quick introduction from myself, to all you crazy dedicated guys!

I have known about this site for a while, I think I first saw it mentioned in an old 'Retro' special edge magazine, but wrongly always assumed it was exclusively about the restoration and upkeep of DL games.

I decided to take a look last week, and was I surprised!  The road trip posts are amazing and a real inspiration, the dedication shown in some of these posts is amazing to me ;)

Right now I dont have the space or funds for a collection of dedicated cabs, but I thoroughly enjoy my multi purpose cab (not your favourite style I know!)

I have recently discovered http://www.arcadebarn.co.uk/ which is in the process of moving premises right now, its new location will be around 4 miles from my home, happy days!

Anyway, that's about it from me for now - Many thanks for all the great threads on here, keep it up guys!

Not at all, this is 'Arcade Life Style' content anyway so  ;)  :-* Do not hesitate to present your cab and name your favorite games on it.

Welcome jimmy, and yes, we are great guys!  ;D

As bruno says, it is about the arcade way of life, be it with true classic cabs, a multi purpose cab or even a japanese cab. We all want to keet the arcade spirit alive.

Although, with a multi purpose cab you(r cab) will not get this attention:
