Hey all,
Gaming since the beginning really, like many here I guess. Early days Pong, grandstand, VCS, Colecovision, ZX81, the Phillips videopac, TRS80, MSX then the usual stuff upto PS5. Most of my gaming is done on MisTer these days.
Arcade always been where it's at. Too much to list here really. Scramble sticks in the memory, asteroids, star wars, the Sega Super scaler stuff blew my mind back in the day.
Did a bit of competitive BMX back in the day, still doing a bit of Graffiti here n there.
Love Shmups but I'm pretty bad at them lol. Cave, Toaplan, Raizing stuff. Like a scrolling fighter too. Never really been a collector, always sold to get the next new thing,
Always been a dream to have at least 1 cab, for a long time I wanted a name cab or similar, but now I think I'd prefer actual hardware - Honestly don't know what game id choose if I could only choose one, never had the space, but never say never.

I recently started building fightsticks and gone down the rabbit hole that is rare and limited parts.
Anyhoo I'm rambling so I'll stop

Welome
You'll probably need a regular 2 player jamma cab and just have some classic original jamma boards hanging about ready to pop in and switch around when you wanna change from a shoot em up to a beat em up. Nothing like an original old school cab playing authentic original games. Just like them beautiful original 80s Bmx's, how much they're worth now eh!
