WOOO HAH !!!!! Just what I have been looking for ... I literally just found out about mame 1 week before Christmas in a post on a Home Theater site..... www.avsforum.com I just finished my HT in Nov. So I was searching for ideas to finish the retro lobby and came across a post about M.A.M.E. After doing some searching online about where to begin. I decided on making my own cab using a video game monitor. Well then of course I found out about jamma boards. Well to make a long story short...Since January 3 .I have bought 3 video games, 2 extra jamma boards, 8 marquees (I only wanted 1 out of the 8 in the auction), a manual fo Teenage Mutant..) and a control panel for a williams Hit the Ice. My Hit the Ice is in a 2 player cab soon to be in a 4 player cab. This weekend I will be picking up another game so I can make that into a mame machine. I also might have a chance to get a Blasteroids gamthis weekend as well.e I vote For Fun Spot. 2nd floor back building RETRO Games... FUN SPOT is only 5 minutes away from my summer cottage in Laconia. Hey we can have a party at my cottage in the summer if you guys help me out with all this mame stuff. Sorry to be so long winded but I am excited... it's nice to finally meet some New Englanders who know about mame. Signed ED O'Neill BTW I am in MEthuen...last city in MA on 93 |

I think we need some time to get a better census of New England members but it would seem to me to keep folks happy we should at some point post a poll as to a location. FunSpot looks tremendous but in terms of getting the whole gang together I think we need to think logistically. Could some folks that are interested come up with some meeting friendly (beer and/or food on tap - sue me) locations? No denying it would be a good time to put some faces on nicknames, hang out with some like minded folk and potentially enjoy some apps and cold beverages. |

Sweet! I hear Funspot is the place to be if you're looking for a good arcade time! With that being said, I've never actually been there, but any arcade doesn't seem like a place to 'hang out' with people you just met. You can't really talk to people becuase you're too busy blowing up demons or getting to the finish line intact. Just my humble opinion. I will certainly be up for meeting any place, but my vote is for Dave and Busters in Providence, or some place like Jillian's in Boston.. They have a little of everything: good eats, good looking women, arcades, pool. Either that, or a cool sit-down-and-eat-but-with-a-cool-ambiance kind of place like Fire and Ice in Boston. I know they have some in other towns though, so we can look into that. As an aside, do any of you people smoke cigars? I'm interested in getting a decent smoking group going where we can just 'chill', smoke, and be cool like it was meant to be. /Steve |

I'm in Dracut, MA (between Methuen and Lowell) I've lurked on these boards for over a year. I finally started to build a bartop cab yesterday. The ultimate would be to physically see people's machines but I know there is no way that could happen. I haven't been to funspot but I have been to jillians (and it has a little of everything). |
