Yay! New addition!!! I've acquired a nice fruit machine! Okay as you know I'm a hardcore gamer and I'd never actively look for a fruit machine to buy/ play - but that's the point! This one was free!!! Its in a bit of a mess and I've had to spend much of this weekend tidying it up and finding out information about it (BIG thanks go to House of Amusements for all their help!) And now it looks pretty flash! So much so that I've decided to keep it in the collection, just need to iron a few faults/ problems out still... Check out the pictures HERE.
Also, I've bought a J-Pac from my good friend in Holland, Marco Krijger. Yeah I know I said that I'd never go that route, but the temptation to make use of my spare Compaq PC inside the roomy Neo Geo cabinet was far too great! I don't need to alter the cabinet at all (as the J-Pac plugs into a JAMMA loom its a simple swap to switch between the Neo Geo PCB and the computer). I'll post some pictures and a write-up shortly (after I've made a video amplifier and mounted the PC motherboard inside the cab).
