Hi, I'm an arcade machine collector and have been trying to get all the machines I use to play as a teenager. I finally scored a MVS system in pretty good condition and am now in the process of restoring it to a 4 slot (it's a one slot with MS X) and putting in the 4 games I had at my local Putt Putt.

1. MS (not sure which one, but I think 1)
2. SS and SS2 (it changed out while I was there)
3. Puzzle Bobble/Bust a Move
4. Trying to remember...

Anyway, this place is a great resource and I've even bought a few things off of here, so, uh thanks for being here and thanks for having me!

Which Arcade Cabs do you have? And do you have any pictures of any of them?

Well, I own a few, Crystal Castles, Mortal Kombat II, Marble Madness, Super Pacman (MAME'd), Gravitar, Space Duel, Joust 2, some others...

I did have a website with pics, but I recently stopped paying for the hosting. They are all dedicated and good shape, but moving is a hassle!

No sorry dude, I'm in Warner Robins, about 1.5 hrs south of ATL, but I come up to visit friends occasionally. You ever down my way?

Nice, well I can't say I'm from here, I'm just here for work and I'll be gone in 3 years, but it's OK. GA is a little to hot for my tastes, but eh, it could be worse. I use to live in OK!

Hi guys, nice to meet you.

We have a nice group of folks local to the Metro Atlanta area that gets together for some gaming every now and then. You guys missed out last meetup, but there will be more. You guys are more than welcome to join in, and it'll be nice to meet some new folks.
