Not sure if I count or not... I have the two arcade boards from my signature, which are my favorites from the late 80's early 90's era. but I don't actually have any full machines.
I just hook them up to a super gun/test rig when I want to play them on my TV, so they are like another console system for me.
As for the reason why I don't have any cabinets... mostly because of my work, which actually had me moving every few years, and when you are in that type of a situation you learn to not collect things, especially large things that are trouble to move.
I'm actually moving again in the next couple of months, and boards are much easier to move than cabinets. In-fact both boards and the 'gun can fit into one box if I need them to.
So I think I made the right choice. It's still the original games, without the bulk.
Regarding why I come here? I am a gamer, I love talking about games and playing games. Plus I love seeing some of the awesome arcades that you all seem to have.
I don't have nearly the experience you all have repairing games, and so when one of my games (XvsSF) needed to be fixed, I availed myself of one of the members here to fix it for me at a good price. (Radford119).
This is a great place.
