Hello everyone!  I walked into a buddy's house and there stood a Defender game.  I ask him about it and he was more then willing to let me play.  I grabbed the weird button layout and scored maybe 5000 points and thought mehhh.  Then my buddy slides in and DESTROYS it, puts in a quick couple hundred thousand and blows my mind.  I was hooked again like when I was a kid.  I went out and found a Stargate machine and had some minor issues start after a few days.  That's when I found John's Arcade and jumped in head first.  Its 6 weeks later and I have my Stargate, a dedicated TMNT 4 player (that was the best money spent watching my kids and their friends laugh and carry on), a 2 cart Neo*Geo and a Dynamo Street Fighter 2 that was DEATH and today marks the 3rd day of rehabilitation for it.  I have already had a bunch of friends over and seen every spot on a game filled and that makes me happy seeing all my friends and family so carefree.  Thanks again John and to this community.
