Hi Everyone!
I'm New to this forum but an old school arcade collector. I started 9 years ago when a rediscovered the fun
of old school gaming. Since then I'm frequently busy with the Gaming stuff. Most interested area's for me?
all kind of Pacman variants, galaga88, gyruss. Also DMD Pinball machines, game consoles, mame cab's and PCB's.
Anyway I like it all alot and hoping to spend a good time on this forum!

Welcome here arcadegek!!
Do you own a real dedicated pac-man upright?!?
-
Thanks for the warm welcome!
answer to your question? Nope don't own a dedicated Upright, but yes I do own a 20year reunion cocktail cab. ;)
-
Nice.
I can already take a bet that if you keep on reading this forum during 2011, you'll have at least one new cab by the end of the year ;D
Just a friendly warning ;)

at least one? will be more, I'm sure of that.
Welcome here, arcadegek. I'm sure that you will have a lot of fun on this forum. By the way, where are you approxiamtely located in Holland. It would be nice to have a dutch forum member in the Eastside of the country, but for some reason almost everything arcade related seems to be centralized in the 010 and 020 area.

Hey Hallo, everyone! It feels like coming home with all those warm welcome's :D
To answer some of the questions asked; Im from the south west of the Netherlands
Zeeuws Vlaanderen, 40km from Antwerp (BE) 30 km from Gent (BE) and =/- 10km from Terneuzen.
Born and raised in the area 010 but since I started this hobby all the houses where way to little.
So I needed some serious space to expend my needs :twisted: . I hope the current 400m2 will last for a while ;)
After renovating 80% of the property the last 2 years, my "Arcadegekte" started to moan again.
BTW you never guess which room was the first that was fhinished?? :lol:
I tried to put here ..... some pics but how do I place them in this topic ??? anyone?
Currently I own;
Videocab's
Ms Pacman - Galaga 20year reunion cocktail cab (11/2007)
Galaxians (Bootleg cab)
Mame cab
Puckman cab (Italian bootleg of the NSM namco version?)
Pinball Pro cab
Opus actua soccer cab (which will be used for another Mame project)
Artwork for building an Galaga cocktail cab and a MS. pacman cocktail cab from scratch
Pinball DMD machines
Monsterbash
Circus Voltaire
Theatre of Magic
Arabian Nights
Star trek the Next Generation
White water
Fish Tales
Shrek
Grandprix
Further more alot of original PCB's +/- 60
And also a bunch of consoles (boxed)
Also a competition 8 feeth pool table
On my wish list.... to start with;)
Galaga cab
Gyruss cab
Pacman cab
Qix cab
Donkey kong cab
I guess that's about it, to give you a impression of the current situation, I hope I melt in the 'gang" a little?
-
Hallo and welcome here
another Dutch collector. :pac: :ghost: :ghost: :ghost:
-
Yes, you sure do melt in the gang. Nice expression by the way.
-
Hey Hallo, everyone! It feels like coming home with all those warm welcome's :D
+1 ! I feel the same when i open the DLF webpage ;D
I tried to put here ..... some pics but how do I place them in this topic ??? anyone?
You need to link to your pics, the forumcode will do the rest;
example: when you type the link and select it, and the you press the icon of "picture"; (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Themes/default/images/bbc/img.gif) your text will get some aditional code and will look simular to this :
[ img ]http://www.myhost.whatever/pictures/picture.jpg[ /img ] (without the spaces though)
I guess that's about it, to give you a impression of the current situation, I hope I melt in the 'gang" a little?
It sounds good for now ;)

Ok that's how it work's! :D It's a little messed up currently
(still doing some reno in the future kitchen, so the gameroom is also storage splace at this moment)
-
Very nice place!
All you need now is a gamerator (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/12/the-gamerator-an-arcade-cabinet-with-a-built-in-tap-and-refrige/) and you're all set! ;)
-
Any pics of the Puckman ? I have a hunch it's the same as I have... ?
-
Welcome nice collection you have. Would love to have a monster bash pinball. that game is so good.
Nice.

i'm living like 40 km under Nijmegen. i would call that west :)

@ Level42 I think it's 100% the same? Only your original marquee was different right?
The wood of the cab is in a bad shape :( But I have all the measurements, glass and all the metal so I think I will rip the cab
and start rebuilding a new? But only if I can find new artwork :-\. Is there artwork available that you know?
Ok here the pictures.......

If not, and you can scan it, i can vector it and reproduce it..
there are some vectors at Zorg's .. (http://vectorlib.free.fr/Puckman/)
but not the ones you need as far as i can see it..

Hah, if you can live with a small cross-hatch on the yellow dot between the ghosts, I've got a brilliant new CPO for you here.....
Yes that's exactly my machine :)
I've got the original marquee now. Yours is the first that I see that has (what is very likely) the original joystick !!

What was that ?
did i listen clearly you asking that i edit my post and insert a hyperlink (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=1751.msg23551#msg23551) ? ::)
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: ;D ;D ;D

oooops :o I guess this was to test of the material would be flexible enough also to see if it can stand the heat of playing :twisted:
I also noticed that it all came out great and ended as a perfect job!! I can't wait to start mine ...... have to hold my horses becuase I have so many other (more ??? important) projects.
But....., Next to all these other responsable labor I will presure myself also to spend time on the rising of a renovated puckman cab. :pac:
BTW. I don't think I'm going to use the old hardware. The pcb will be cleaned tested and then preserved in a anti-static plastic bag. And boxed next to my other pcb's.
Inside the cab I am thinking to place a 21inch vga crt Hantarex witch I still have 2 of. Put a low-key pc in the cab and place all the Pacman copy's of my pcb collection in it? ok ok im daydreaming ::) The main issue will be the cab!
Does anyone knows if the measurements of this cab is the same as the original Namco Pacman. ms.pacman and galaga cab?
if so I maybe going to duplicate some extra wood panels for future purposes.
-
No sizes differ.
By the way, Arcadegek, I'm laughing out loud, we just discovered we have already met each other a LOOOOOOOONG time ago....
In fact, Arcadegek is (partly) responsible for MY arcade nut-dom !
I bought my VERY first cab from him !!! It was a lovely Playscene JAMMA cab !!! :D
It's so funny to meet you again in this way now....about 6 years later....

BTW as you can see the virus never stopped at this side!
and.... not planning to do so very soon :twisted:
-
That's great to read....it's a small (arcade collectors) world after all ! ;)
Yes it all started with that Jamma cab :)
I was already wondering about what "happened with you" ;)
