Hi everyone,

I'm a long time lurker who mostly collects pinball. However, Ive been wanting to expand my collection into arcades, so I figured id finally start posting here.

Other interests include pirates, music ( favorite genres are Punk and 50's Doo Wop), theater, theme parks, and my animals.

I'm in the Cleveland, Ohio area. I've lived here almost my entire life, with the exception of a brief stint in Florida.

I collect games that interest me, but I'm always on the lookout for something pirate themed. If youre selling something pirate adjacent, contact me. I'm interested.

Also, thanks for all the help over the years. Ive appreciated all the trouble shooting threads Ive lurked through!
 
Welcome to the forum!

If you've been lurking that long, you're doing it right. :)

Great to see people who still appreciate Doo Wop and the 50's. It's funny how it was everywhere when we were kids (and was all over the 'oldies' radio stations), but is almost entirely gone from pop culture today.

Right? I am younger ( in my early 30's), but I have older parents, so I grew up on Doo Wop. Seems like there was a bit of a resurgence in the 90s. Maybe it had something to do with all the 50s themed restaurants? Who knows.
 
If I was into "pirates", I guess I'd need these in my collection -> Pirate Pete and Popeye (and Asteroids). :)

Funny how most lurkers are from Ohio. LOL

Oh, and the Ripoff clone - Space Pirate (AKA Space irate). Gotta have a vector in the collection. :)
Only one instance in Italy noted in VAPS. Wow.

I don't believe anyone has a pirate-themed arcade collection. LOL

Welcome! There are quite a few of us here from Ohio. We have been blessed with an amazing arcade legacy.
 
Welcome to the forums finally.

I cannot offer insight on vids, but EM gun games I would recommend include
Midway Captain Kid
Midway twin pirate rifle (preferred)
United Pirate Gun.
Good to see you too.

Honestly, all of those look cool. I'll keep an eye out for them. Is there a reason why Twin Pirate is the preferred? Gameplay? or because its 2 player?
