Title: Hello !
Post by: jcp on October 08, 2009, 06:42:43 PM: Hello everybody,

First, thanks to DarthNuno : a very nice forum :spaceace:.

Second, a little introduction : I'm a machine arcades child (born in the early 70's !) and since last two years, i have been in the arcade world : pcbs (nearly twenty) and four arcade machines (classic games from the end of the 70's to the end of the 80's are my interest area).

Otherwise, I'm member of J+, Klov, Gamoover, Insertcoins.net etc ...

Jean-christophe.

Title: Re: Hello !
Post by: DarthNuno on October 08, 2009, 08:24:05 PM: Oh my God! Yes.... That Buggy Boy :o :-* :-* :-*

I used to play that triple screens version, but wait ... I also remember to be on a seat? And you version seems to an upright version, without a seat? Strange.

The last time I played on that wonderful game was few months ago, in the ArcadeFever's game room (Miami) :arrow:

About the questions :

Muerto : I've already sent pictures to KLOV, but ... the pictures don't be in the Speed Buggy datasheet :-\.
I have a few pictures in my profile too, cf here (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/album.php?albumid=133).

Nuno : I know that there is a rear part (cf TAFA (http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=flyer&db=videodb&id=3238&image=1)), but, badly, it was trashed ... however as the playing position is almost standing up, it doesn't matter (It seems to be like Crazy Taxi cab driving position).

Very Nice Collection! I've never seen a Blue Hang On... Ever! Awesome! ;D

Title: Re: Hello !
Post by: gyruss on October 11, 2009, 08:48:34 PM: Wow.. look at all those sega racers, what a great collection.
Title: Re: Hello !
Post by: level42 on October 12, 2009, 01:19:15 PM: Hey, a fellow Power Drift upright owner. Yours looks much better than mine though (I don't even have side-art) but I'm not complaining as I got it for free (well in trade for some labour in fact).

Love the blue Hang-On ! And the Buggy Boy is great too.

Welcome !!
Title: Re: Hello !
Post by: jcp on October 19, 2009, 06:55:08 PM: Thanks to all (there are a few members that I already know by the way) !

Level42 (hum, a well known rock band in the eighties ...), for me, Power Drift is always fun to play (and never boring) : a good choice.
About the side art, I will send to Zorg a file that can interest you ;).

Another picture (a good game to play in order to keep warm the last cold week-end) :

ps : since yesterday, I have been 1st in the South circuit in Buggy Boy 8) (Yes, I know : nobody cares :arrow:).
Title: Re: Hello !

Title: Re: Hello !
Post by: jcp on May 26, 2010, 10:23:40 PM: Thanks for the information Bruno, I will order this issue as soon as possible :spaceace:.

Maybe it's Bods's one ?

Otherwise, my Monaco GP is nearly fully working (timer is not ok) :

My EM pinball is ok too (very fun machine) :

Next step : Buggy Boy (third monitor and red color in the central one) :-*

Title: Re: Hello !
Post by: jcp on September 25, 2010, 05:36:12 PM: I have done the roadtrip alone (last sunday, wake up at 4h, 5h->20h on the road, 1000km) and I hadn't enough time to take photos.

Post by: jcp on November 25, 2010, 06:06:14 PM: Well, an interesting finding :

A bit of work for sure :lol: !
Title: Re: Hello !
Post by: Superully on November 25, 2010, 06:38:58 PM: wonderful! where / how did you find that? what's missing inside - the pcb? anything else?
Title: Re: Hello !
Post by: jcp on November 25, 2010, 07:10:16 PM: In fact, I've got it from a pinballs collector (0€ : the right price) who left it outside for a long time (and without love of course :evil:).
Not really a roadtrip too : it was very near my gameroom !
Of course, all is to be rebuild, but time and cabs parts are available, so I will have a go!
Except the back door, there is nothing missing (I've got two pcbs, in a very very very bad condition), but all the metal parts are oxided, the plexiglasses are broken ...
Title: Re: Hello !
Post by: level42 on November 25, 2010, 08:09:55 PM: What ? In revenge I will put my Judge Dredd outside for a couple of weeks, those darn pinball lovers.......!

Uhmmmm, not really of course ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Hello !
Post by: jcp on November 25, 2010, 08:54:45 PM: André, you should : that pinball has no bumper :lol:.
Title: Re: Hello !
Post by: level42 on November 25, 2010, 09:09:05 PM: So ? It's still a very fun pin...

I really enjoy it....even without the pop-bumpers...(good for the neighbors too ;) )
