Hi Charlie - yeah, this is me ;)

Was planning on doing a full post on the arcade forums after opening weekend with photos, details, etc. But for now, yes, tomorrow is opening day! 10am - 8pm.

We have 2 Blasts, 2 NACs, 2 Astros, and imported stools! 8) We use arcade tokens, 4 credits for £1, and we're trying to run a mix of games to keep everyone happy. We'll always have at least one vertical shmup on the go, probably a hori one too where possible.

Will do a full post with pics once the weekend is over. Cheers!

got to say well done for getting this setup! you're in a good area with regards to the fountainbridge complex and posh bruntsfield up the road so that is going to help a lot.
may have some jamma stuff i wont ever use again that i can donate or lend such as jamma extension harness and i think i got a sf2 turbo board i that i would rather see installed somewhere rather than sitting at a box at my mums since i have no 6 button setup for pcbs since i sold my cabs :cry: .
