Hello to the Forums, I’m John, 52 from Lancashire and been into gaming since I can remember, used to love the arcades as a kid on holiday, Oh the sounds, the raster graphics, the difficulty and the hunting for another 10p to continue the game, at college we had a common room and I played 1942, starforce, commando and strider endlessly. I’ve had a jamma cab, but now have a mame cab with a hantarex crt which currently isn't working, hoping for some assistance with it here.
Greetings from Lancashire

Welcome John, got a couple of top monitor guys on here, maybe post a pic of the chassis,monitor and problem in the technical section.
Little bit younger than me but yeah 1942 was proper good, one of the few games I can still do well at today lol.

Welcome. Zx Speccy / Manic Miner fan by any chance? That next 10p was part of the thrill of the next game with so many choices.

Grew up in Lancashire so plenty of arcade memories from Southport, Liverpool and even Granada studios as a kid/ teenager !
