Hello fellow arcade enthusiasts

[BubNotBob]

Welcome to the forum.

Rainbow Island was great in the Amiga wasn’t it!

My favourite and I had literally hundreds of games, I was really into the Amiga scene at the time

Welcome. Even places like North Wales which had lots of dedicated arcades had arcade machines in swimming pools, leisure centers, video shops, chippys, little shops etc. Any chance to get cash in off people who had 5 or 10 minutes to spare. Had to 'take over' from a number of kids who were dragged off by their parents when the fish and chips turned up lol!
You may be shocked by the price of an original Taito Bubble Bobble PCB!

I heard they were pricey maybe a boot leg to start.

Even BB bootleg boards can be quite pricey, I think mainly because they are ideal candidates for converting to The Lost Cave or even the to the Redux BB version (which fixes a lot of the bootleg BB game issues and runs more like the original).

An original Rainbow Islands is another board which you’ll need deep pockets for. The bootleg version (Jumping) can sometimes be found fairly reasonably priced though.

Thanks for the advice. Now I have joined this forum I am already learning a lot. I will keep an eye on the For Sale section.
