Arcade

I own 5 cabs but they're kind of strung around right now, though all of them work except the one I'm planning to do a MAME conversion on.

I always think it would be cool to learn how to fix and restore old arcade cabinets but I am sure it is more complex than I think.

NAOMI is great, first arcade board I picked up back at the end of '14. I now have 14 boards, what a fun rabbit hole it's been.

I'm a collector. I have several arcade boards, not an amazing number but enough that I've lost count. I'm pretty much out of the market since I have a majority of what I want. Arcade games can get quite expensive even for bare PCBs. Some of the "biggest" ones in my collection are Nemesis (converted from Konami GT it seems), Gradius II, Gradius III (non-JP), Salamander, Splatterhouse, and Turtles in Time (which I got for like $150 or so in ~2011 but is now a $300+ board thanks to retards). I also have other things like MK1 and MK3, The Simpsons (JP), the three CPS1 Street Fighter IIs (all JP), Battletoads, the original TMNT (JP), Rockman The Power Battle, some CPS2 stuff, a Naomi, dedicated The House of the Dead, dedicated Lost World (the stand up model), and several MVS carts among other random shit like Blandia.

I just fixed up a Crazy Taxi Naomi board. The shit that kids are able to squeeze into nooks and crannies under the seat blows my mind.

Besides that, I have D&D: Shadow Over Mystara, VF3, Tekken 5, DDR Extreme, and a Mr. Driller cocktail. Neat hobby if you have the space. I'm an engineer, so I really like how fixing cabinets bring electrical, computer, and software engineering disciplines together. I want to get a pinball machine or two to bring in the mechanical engineering.
