Hi everyone, my name is Sean and I live in Melbourne Australia. Prior to moving to Aus I lived for 30 years in the UK and spent a lot of my holiday time at seaside arcades during the late 70's and 80's.

My favorite game is SEGA OutRun and I run a blog called OutRun86

I own a 82 PACMAN cocktail cabinet and I'm looking to pick up an OutRun machine in the next few years.

I love the Arcade Outsiders podcasts and John, Joe, Shawn and Tighe have my sense of humor, I listen to the show because their fun to listen to, the arcade game talk is just a bonus!

Hope to spend a bit of time on here and I also interact on Twitter.

Mate, I personally don't think Aus is too great for parts or machines. A lot of cabs were made in Aus by LAI and I think with how remote Aus is there was not a lot of exporting cabs to Aus.

I'm living in Eltham, Vic. About 35 mins from Mel

I grew up in the Springy/Noble Park area.  From my memory as a kid, I remember it seemed it was a 50/50 mix of shit from hong kong and stuff that come out of the Sydney/NSW area.
