Hello
« on: September 02, 2009, 05:46:14 PM »
Hello,

I am new here. I have played games in arcades since the late eighties, early nineties in my homecountry The Netherlands and on several holiday trips to Spain & France. My favourites back then were 1942, Turtles, Pac Man, Street Fighter II, Operation Wolf and many more. Today, I am the owner of a Simpsons cabinet, the European version. It's an original four player Konami cabinet from 1991. The only thing I had to change were the buttons, joysticks and the CPO.

today I received the Simpsons CPO from MameMarquees.com

_Almost_ everyone is very friendly yes.

En welkom hier van een mede Nederlander ! :)

I like that pic, it's a good one to play the game "name that cab". I can see a cockpit on the right, but definitely not Star Wars. In front of that cockpit is a Space Harrier (yum !) sit-down.

In the middle an easy one as I can still read the letters, Hang-On sit-down.

On the left more sit-downs that I don't recognize either.

I also love the old-fashioned police uniforms ! From the uniforms I thought these pics were end of 70's but the games clearly indicate early/mid 80's.
