I've been dabbling in PCB's since 2002. I tend to focus on affordable shmups, but have a pretty varied collection of genres.

I paid 150EUR that day for the cab, the stand and 5 games, if I remember correctly they were: R-Type, Rainbow Islands Extra, Dragon Breed,
Jihouki and Gradius 2 Gofer

2002-12-06 it was replaced with a JK F3 with a 20" Kortek monitor.

Hey guys

I am seriously getting itchy fingers about purchasing a cab
really soon, when im ready ill be asking alot of questions in the
Hardware section

I just cant decide which system to go for the full cabinet or
the supergun

My first PCB will be Bubble Bobble

Then every decent shooter under $200

Im not made of money but id love a full collection of all
the Cave Shmups. I bought a PS2 just to get the Cave ports
and see if it was worth my time investing in the real arcade
experience, you bet your fat a$$ shooting bullit dodging pants it is

Cant wait!
