Good day guys,

Joining up to further collaborate with my brothers across the pond on all things arcade related. I grew up around arcades back in the late 80's to early 2000's living in the US Virgin Islands, and now in the US. I was a big fan of the arcade but was never good on sticks playing fighting games. I enjoyed games like Samuria Showdown, Gauntlet, Outrun, Mortal Kombat, After Burner. I didn't get back into the arcade scene until I saw a guy on YouTube called SmokeMonster. He had a video talking about the easiest way to get into arcade gaming. So, I dived into superguns, and eventually got a Sega Titan STV as my first arcade PCB. That was back in 2018, so here I am owning a Sega Astro City, Sega New Astro City, and as of recently obtaining my good friends Konami Windy II cab.

I have travelled the US quite a bit and had a memorable summer taking greyhound up the entire East Coast. My American friends are always bemused and slightly in awe that I did it - this is a decade or so ago but remember the arcades at myrtle beach being really fun. Enjoyed the Carolina states and Virginia in particular that trip.
I brought a designated nba jam over from US before Covid which was a bit of a mission but ultimately worth it ! Love the US Dynamo cabinets and ended up with an nba tournament conversion and a Neo geo which I am working on. At some point in retirement I would love to make a Neo geo ‘big red ‘ think I have most of the parts eg control panel, nos marquee and all wiring but would need to find a shell or scratch build !
Looking forward to seeing pictures of your cabinets
