My name is John. I collect games.
« on: August 06, 2013, 04:16:29 PM »
This is my introduction! Hi! :)

I collect mostly games from '80 - '83 and am a big Nintendo fan. I have a youtube channel and website called "John's Arcade" at http://www.youtube.com/blkdog7 and http://www.johnsarcade.com

I'm friends with a few of the guys that are on here already and never joined because I never owned a Dragon's Lair but it seems like this place is much more! So, here I am! :)

Here's some (slightly older) photos of my stuff. My collection is a little different right now but not by too much:

Big welcome to "the man in the basement"  ;D

Dragonslairfans is indeed the main URL, but there is a redirect which is called www.arcadelifestyle.net

I think i can almost say that this is "THE" arcade forum for Europe.

I love this place, and i am not a real  "dragonslair fan"  ;D

I love the technical, graphics & lifestyle subboards the most.

Anyway, enjoy your stay here !

Hi John, welcome here. I bet we all know who you are and I am sure that we all subscribed to your Youtube channel.  :D

Your collection is great, and I also like your knowledge of VS stuff.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I have noticed that a lot of Europeans subscribe and comment on my Youtube channel. I never really understood how, but it's great! Thanks!!

I don't have any Zaccaria cabinets. I would love to have one, though! I love the way they look. Cool stuff, for sure!

Hey John, I'm another 'crazy European' that subscribes to your YouTube channel - keep up the great videos! I only have a couple of cabs at present, but have just moved house and have gained a great garage space for future additions!
