Look at all these nice posts.

Stuff like this will encourage for more to come. Its a shame someone has to say something before everyone shows their gratitude.

A positive comment would have done the same as yours. :roll: :roll: As I said, I get notified about the videos by Youtube, am sure most other subscribers see that too (and on KLOV)

This thread is notification for people who don't subscribe on youtube I suppose.

I love pinballs but vidz are first in my heart.
Vidz are challenging, easy to restore and cheap to buy and they represent most of my teenage days memories.
No pinballs can replace memories from Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Robotron, Tempest, Joust, Millipede and tons more ....
But i love all arcades games, pins and vidz. I also have great memories from pins like Firepower, F2K, EBD, Centaur, Fathom and etc ...
A mame machine is ok but they usually play badly and/or use an lcd that look wrong and introduce lag time in controllers.
All gamerooms must have at least 3 original vidz to be complete ;)
A gameroom without vidz always feel strange, something is missing.
The video game i want to play is always the one i don't have :FP:

I feel the same. I started as a Vid guy and collecting both now. I have a grand vision that I plan to build as time goes on that blend both pins and vids together for an awesome arcade. Hopefully soon, this will come to be...
