Hello all, my name is Nick and am from Virginia. Just started my arcade hobby about a year ago when I stumbled onto various arcade enthusiasts on YouTube and wanted to reclaim a part of my childhood nostalgia since there are no arcades within hours from me.

Slowly learned how to solder, paint, applying decals, and I'm slowly putting that all together.

Found several deals along the way and my list of arcade titles is just about complete, so now onto the several restorations that lay ahead. Hoping to utilize this amazing resource to help me along the way.

Thank you in advance to all of you!
 
Welcome Nick!
I believe a lot of us get started in this hobby to revive that part of our youth. Show some photos of what you have collected so far.

Where's the list? (And pics). :unsure:
Might want to also add them to VAPS. Thanks.
Will add pictures as soon as I get home.

As for a list, I have the following playable:

Ms Pacman
Centipede
Galaga

Silver strike Bowling

Inoperable projects:

So, you're pretty much a Golden Age collector.
That being the case, I welcome you to KLOV.
You do get a -1 for no Vectors, though. LOL :)

I like your monkey. He seems like a barrel of fun.

I feel so much better now and can cancel my next psychiatric appointment. All this time my shrink has been telling me I'm not a weirdo nutcase.
