Hey from the uk!
« 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

Hi Jonesy,
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  ;)

Hi Chris,

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

Yep definately, those two are both worth a visit and ten times better than any Sega Park!
