that's me
« on: February 11, 2012, 01:51:01 PM »
Hi everyone!

I would like to introduce myself.

My name is Ingmar i'm 40 years old. With my family (my wife and 5 children -- all 5 children with only one women!!) i life in Hameln - that's the town of the Pied Piper. I have Pinballs since 20 years but i always liked the old Arcade-machines as i was playing all the classics when i was young on my Atari Arcade and later on an my Atari 800xl. Long time ago ...

Some weeks ago i changed some Pinballs into some more Arcade-machines. And now even my children are playing a lot with these attractions. We are now planing to restore some of these cabinets within the next years and to look for other interesting classic cabinets. But we still go on with our Pinballs.

It will still take some time to understand the arcade-technology, but i hope that a friend will help me a little bit.


Due to some changes in my life (i got a hip replacement and i still got problems) i will have to change work. So in the beginning i will surely not have so much hours to join this chat (and others too). But i hope to have some more time within a year.


As some of my real friends (not cyber ...) live in France, Wales and Spain and a part of my family lives in Italy - i'm always interested in other countrys, other cultures and their people.


So that's me - or a part of it ...

Hello everyone again and thank you all for welcome me here. :D

Yes my 5 children want to play a lot with the arcades. Only my wife stops them from time to time ... (Not me !!).

But although they must play with other kids and go out playing too... So arcade is not the only thing they play with ...


So the next generation is online!
