Hi Mightypirate
Welcome,
I also have been a Dragons Lair fan since I was a little boy, I have been collecting Dragons lair and space ace stuff for some time. You can see some of my collection in the collectors page of this site, I have since added a couple of games to my collection.
I do hope your dream does come true, you will find the most friendly, kind and helpful people on this site, I have met alot of wonderful people here and I am sure you will to. With the help of the community I think your dream isn't so far off. When the time comes and you want to purchase your first Dragons lair cab let us know, we will help you find one.
Talk to you soon
Mike Ryan
