John's Arcade Forum - Classic Arcade and Pinball Collecting and Restoring Discussion Forum - RETRO MAME - Nintendo Vs Forum

Hi guys, fans of John's basement.

Some tech talk about myself:
45yrs old, wife, 2 sons, living in Geleen, The Netherlands. Working as an IT consultant, freelance.

Addicted to pinball machines and arcade games since I was 8 years old. Used to play Donkey Kong, Track & Field, Ghosts 'n Goblins, Bomb-Jack etc etc.
Owning 4 pinballs at this moment: Whirlwind, Earthshaker, Back to the Future and Funhouse. BTTF has been fully restored (clearcoated playfield), FH is in restoration at this moment (clearcoated playfield). Hit my signature if you're interested (in Dutch, but with a lot of pics).

Owning 2 arcade cabinets: Neo Geo cab with a good 25" monitor with a 60 in 1 card. (Yeah, I know), and an Outrun cab which I just picked up with a good original monitor and working PCB. This cabinet is in fair shape but is in restoration at this moment, I'm looking for a control panel, so if someone has one laying around......

Okay, glad I found this forum, and John: you're a king man. Richie Knuckles is not the only king of the arcades!

Sweet! Thanks for joining us.

MIAMI VICE site?!? When I was younger, that show blew my mind!

Yup, I'm an addicted fan. I even met the actors (Trudy, Gina, Zito and Switek) on 2 conventions in Paris. The site is in Dutch, the forum is partly English.

Keep up the very good work John, I love your vids man.
