Title: Newbie, just want to say hi
Post by: Laszo on April 22, 2012, 01:12:46 PM

Just wanted to say hi. Saw some pretty nice post in this forum and I like the fact that there seems to be a local European crowd that is very active on this forum. I'm a 42 year old dutch guy that loves classic games. So far I owned mostly pinballs but over the years I also picked up some arcades. Earlier this year I picked up a non working space invader and that baby fired my interest in the arcade lifstyle movement  :) I will start a seperate post on that subject.

Currently I own the foollowing cabs: centipede, zaccarria frogger, universal space panic (with 1942 pcb),logi tec space invaders and a olympia cabinet.

Thanks Guys.

The Centipde I bought in Lelystad.... I think his name was Rob. It was a fast pick up, I just love centepide so I just had to buy it.

The universal cabinet is sweet indeed.

But Space Invaders will be sweet to...check ou my new post.

Welcome to this board, Laszo  :)

Wow, I'm really in love with that Space Panic  :-* I think Laschek still has one for sale (here (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=3184.0)) and I know I'll regret not buying it by the way but I have too many unfinished projects...
The Space Invader looks very nice... do it has some special side arts graphics?

Anyway, have fun on this board  ;)

Another Dutchie!

Welcome here, from where in holland are you ?

I love your Frogger ! , too bad it has the universal sidearts, the full upright frogger with sidearts is very rare..

@Etienne, living in Leusden(Amersfoort)
@DarthNuno, no side art, it has sides that are finished with formica, a green marble print. I think this cabinet was ment to be used in a line up, machine next to machine with no space in between.
