Hi from Sweden!
Started this hobby with a Egret 2 cabinet a few years ago. Later I got more into pinball, but I still love my arcades
I usually help out and repair games at my friends place where we have quite a few games on free play for the public to play (we take a small fee for a night). So what do we have: HoTD2, Space Gun, Outrun 2 x4, GTI Club x4, 18 Wheeler, Ghost Squad, 3x Naomi Universal, 5x Jamma, Sega Rally 2 x2, 3x Mame, Air hockey, About 80 pinball games in working order and about 20 in ”to be fixed”-state. It really doesn't generate any money (more like costs 
), we do it for the love of the hobby and to make people able to experience the feeling of walking into an arcade like I used to feel when I was a kid.
At home I ”only” have 1x Jamma, 2x Naomi Universal (JVS), 2x Offroad Challenge (converted to Initial D (That is, JVS.. FFB with midi controller board) (and all the other games you can play on Naomi 2. Working on a Happ->PC interface. Also working on a Card Reader emulator for Initial D). 5 pinball games as well (and a few in my office).
I mostly play Naomi (have 7 of them) or System 256 (there are 6 of them now) and some Type
Type X2.
Hopefully the next big project is to build an extension for my home (man cave) so I actually can fit some of the games in there. It’s a good thing I have a very understanding girlfriend 
. I try to keep my home collection as small as possible (physically.. space is an issue for the moment), so things like Atomiswave->Naomi is gold and the reason I found this site.
So yeah, I know most of the arcade guys in Sweden in some way or another, we try to have an annual gathering at my friends place in Boras. If you ever visit Sweden you’re most welcome to hang out with us and play some games (and maybe talk some hardware ).
Kind regards,
Magnus (Gondar/Gon)
