Hi there!,
I’m from Spain, not really close to Japan but…I've been obsessed with japanese cabs since the moment I saw them for first time. I spend more time admiring them than actually playing. I got 3 ones (two Blast City and one Astro City), not in the same house so, I'm always thinking about how to bring another one to my home…without a “domestic-war”
It's weird, because my interest in video games is not related with arcade culture. I have memories from my youth, playing Bubble Bobble with my brother in our PC/IBM286 (the most anti-erothic game machine ever), I didn't go to arcades often, and japanese culture is not my favorite “theme”.
However, something changed into my head the first time I saw a BLAST CITY “face to face”. Its dimensions, color, materials, or that huge marquee... it seemed to came directly from the mind of Moebius. I didn't rest until I got my own cab, and once I got it, I enjoyed cleaning, restoring, and "understanding" how it works.
The other cabs…well, you can guess the rest…
It’s a pleassure to share experiences
