Hello.
I just registered here.
No (sticky) thread "present yourself here" was found, so this post is to introduce myself.
I'm Fabrice, 39 years old, living in France.
Some of you may already know me, I'm present on the french
gamoover.net forum.
No, I won't tell you I'm an arcade addict, you already guessed it !
I own about 10 ~ 15 arcade games + some PCBs.
To be honest, I confess I prefer/spend more time repairing my games than playing !
I know it's crazy, but that's me...
Some of my games :
- my beloved SEGA Quartet (a 4-players game)
restored back to Quartet, was converted to something else
- SEGA Space Ship (vector game, clone of Cinematronics space War)
fixed PCB + screen
AFAIK, my cabinet is the only one known ; I dumped the ROMs and updated Mame source code to add the game
- VECTORBEAM Speed Freak
fixed screen
ATARI HORROR GAMES Shark Jaws
fixed screen + PCB
- MIDWAY Wheels
fixed screen + PCB
- TAITO Missile-X (B&W, TTL)
fixed PCB
- ATARI Breakout
fixed screen + PCB
- ATARI Missile Command
fixed PCB (electronic designer was really a tortured psychopath)
- an ELAUT ufo catcher
fixed PCB
- DATA EAST pinball
fixed missing columns & rows on VFD screen
- ROCK-OLA jukebox
fixed hardware: gripper + carousel
- ...
I'm currently little busy, preparing my wedding (april).
I wish you a happy new year 2013 !
EDIT: forgot my Missile Command cabinet...
