What's up y'all ? My name is Large Kro.
I have been mostly playing video games since my childhood and had a strong love for arcade due to the so many hours we spent
with two of my best friends playing and watching many arcade classics as we were growing up.
Having been a console addict for years I remained frustrated that except for the Neo Geo wich was 100% translating the arcade feeling,
we still could not get the same feeling we had plaing those games when playing home ports of those games, assuming that they even exist.
I decided to take a step into arcade arround 2002 and got me my first little MAK supergun wich really was a cool and rather cheap box when I think about it.
I started then chasing my all time favorites like Golden Axe, Shinobi, Final Fight, Strider and discovered so many others I never knew existence or that I only saw
in my old video games magazines previous pages back then.
The last setp was trying to get a real cab when space allowed me to do it in 2006 and so I ended up with a 2X6 panel Egret 2 that I made different pacth connectors for
to switch buttons configurations between the different MVS games configs, the jamma + and and the CPS stuff with kick harness.
To set it up I kind of like most of arcade stuff, especially run and guns, beat'em all, shmups, plateform action and versus fighting games with friends.
The only kind of games I never got into is mahjong. Probably because I did not really try to to be honest.
It's been a few years I have been playing and buying less to due to life obligations and struggles like every one gets into but still I can get me some precious moments
from time to time to pop one alone or with friends and play the night away for fun or challenge, depending on the mood.
I guess even it tends to be far less present than before I will remain hooked to this thing forever.
Anyway it's really nice to see another place like that coming up. Thanks !!
