Hello all,
I'm a new member here though I have been collecting games since I was 16. I used to post under the Google groups and only learned about this forum when some members showed up at Crabtowne U.S.A for one of their meetings.
Anyway, I mostly collect games from the 90's like Mortal Kombat, though I'm about to get a few older titles. I'm happy to see there is such a following for the newer games now.
I never dreamed of a day when reproduction side art would be available for MK cabs since no one seemed to even care about those games back then.
I'm looking forward to posting here.
 
Hi and welcome!

So if you've been collecting since you were 16, how many years is that? I'm just nosey. I've noticed that most of the guys here are around 30 to 40 years old and the ones that collect the games from the 90's grew up in the 90's.

I grew up in the 70's, so I always gravitate towards the older games, which were mostly B&W back then.
 
Welcome aboard neighbor! I have been collecting since the mid 80's. Have you been to any I he get togethers at Crabtowne? I have been going there since the mid 70's to play games.

I'm 28 now, so about 12 years. You are right, I grew up in the 90's and started off with games from that era, though lately I have finally picked up some older games.

I accidentally stumbled into a meeting the Klov collectors were having there one day. At first I thought you guys were there to fix the machines. You have a winter and summer meeting right? I hope to come to the summer one this year.
 
Not sure when the next one is, it seems we have started meeting a each others places. I have had a lt of the area KLOVers up to my place. There s a party this weekend at DogP's place in VA. Perhaps you can make it there.

I guess I will have to wait until there is one closer. I would have you guys to see my games, but I can barely move in my garage where I keep them.

Welcome. I find that these arcade parties people have are definitely worth the drive. There have been people known to drive hours to some people's.

Add your stuff to VAPS so we can see what you have.
