Hi,

My name is Dana. I'm hoping to learn a lot from everyone here as I embark on a quest to find and restore a Sega Astro City cabinet. I grew up obsessed with video games and spent much of my childhood in arcades across the US during the 80s and 90s. Somewhere in the early 2000s I came across these amazing cabinets from Japan and I knew one day I wanted to have one. I'm also a big Street Fighter fan and have played Street Fighter II: The World Warrior religiously for the past 30 years. No joke, I still play it. Still staying sharp, probably even better than I was back in the early 90s. I hope to purchase that as my first real arcade PCB and have it in my candy cab. If/when I find one.

So thanks for having me, I'll keep snooping around, reading, and preparing for my journey.

Thanks in advance,
-Dana
 
Welcome! World Warrior is a classic, and luckily pretty easy and cheap to find relative to other Street Fighter titles. You are definetly at the right place!

Ya, World Warrior isn't the most nuanced/balanced version of the series. But it's the original. There's just magic in that game that defined everything that followed. And honestly I have fond memories of riding my bike for hours to get to arcades just to stand in line to have a few minutes of play time amongst a swarm of other teenagers. I've met some of my best friends in my life even as an adult playing this game. It's been influential to say the least.
