Arcade Noob Landing From HK

[mugen808]

Hey, I am a French guy living in Hong Kong with a passion for games in general and collecting old systems.

I do have a few arcade boards, notably an MVS 1F and a CPS on the way.
I have no cabs nor CRT (no space in HK…) and use a RetroTINK 4K pro to an OLED monitor and minigun.

HK is a cool place for games, including arcade. We notably have Arcade Legend HK and Arcade Spare Parts here, as well as a lot of gaming malls across the city.
Is is also not that far from Japan, overall pretty convenient!

So anyway, happy to join the community and see you around!

Hello, Welcome, I'm from Hong Kong too, maybe you can get a PVM or CRT with RGB if you dont have a CAB

Hi @cma019, very nice to meet another arcade mate from the same area! I'd love to connect with ya.
Honestly, space is challenging even for a CRT, and also, I find the price of CRT not good in HK. In US or Europe you may get them for free, or in many cases under 50 eur if you search. In HK, I find they are priced very high. But if I come across a good deal, why not after all!

I’ll let you know if I find any cheap ones. But yes, space is definitely an issue in HK. try to free up some space for at least a 14-inch set, no fun without a CRT
