Do you find you tend to collect arcades that come for the same region globally?

Hey Guys,

This is just a minor observation from someone who is new to the hobby. I've noticed that all the arcades I'm getting or all the arcades that I'm looking to get where made by companies based in the US.

It seems that the 4 top companies for me are Stern, Williams, Atari, and then Midway.

Do you notice that your collection has machines that are from other ares such as Japan, or other countries? Or is your collection a mix of everything?

Just wondering!

most cabs that you collect here in the states would have been manufactured here since shipping was prohibitive and licensing agreements netted a lot of money. but many of the games themselves were developed in Japan, especially a lot of those Midway and Stern titles though some Atari and Williams were also.
 
right now I'm on the "get all the beat'em ups" I played in High School kick and they wer made by Sega, Capcom and Konami...
 
Which arcades are you collecting? Time Tunnel? Aladdin's Castle? Space Port?

:D

Looking to get EVENTUALLY the following in no particular order:

Missile Command
Asteroids
Robotron 2084
Battlezone
Escape From The Planet of Killer Robots
NBA Jam
NFL Blitz
Xybots

I'm sure there are more but those are just the ones off the top of my head!
