Hello All,

Been about 7 years since I left vids alone to pursue other things in life. Almost thought I was done with the hobby but I finally moved my games out of storage and into the basement of my latest (and hopefully permanent home in Morris County, NJ),

Started plugging things in and 1 game out of 10 worked. Started remembering what I knew from the old days and things started firing again. Mostly loose connections and fuse issues. PunchOut, Dragon's Lair, and Donkey Kong now working great. Tempest, SpaceAce Dedicated, Black Knight Pin, Star Wars, Multi Williams and Centipede up to bat next to be fixed.

So expect to see me posting here again. :) Seen some familiar names like BarakaWins, Jeff Kinder, etc and hope to reconnect with many of you again now that the addiction is back in me.

Hoping everyone is great. Also glad to see that alot of the flaming from RGVAC doesn't seem to happen here.

Glad to be back. If you remember me, please feel free to PM me to reconnect.

Yep, I recon theirs a lot of us old timers from the RGVAC days. I started using Sam in Virginia in 2002 but my oldest post that I could find was 2000 but I do remember posting near the end of 1999 wile looking for Asteroids parts. I have also been on the DLP just as long. As for the flaming from RGVAC doesn't seem to happen here, stick around long and you might see some but the Mod's do a good job of making sure it doesn't get to far out of hand.
I too left my games for a few years for another of my hobbies and have been trying to slowly get back to some of my projects but keep having to fix the ones in the game room. Seems its a never ending job.
Welcome back to the hobby.:)
