Hi everyone,

My name is Kevin, i'm 25 years old and live in Zottegem (east-flanders). I am a retro game collector (consoles & arcade). I don't own any cabs yet, but I have a supergun, about 20 pcb's and a neo geo mvs with about 15 games.

Sonic

Hi and welcome Kevin!!!

Zottegem = Sotto's (former Krypton)!!! I still go from times to times there when there's a good party... Wink

Last time was Bonzai retro!!! Hell of a good time, awesome music! The club is big and it's quite a beautiful place but the audience is strange there; it looks like many people go there just to drink and show off but there's little dancing... On the other hand, there are lots of girls but many of them are just there to take pictures of her with the DJs to put on facebook or netlog the day after... Rolling Eyes

It was the first time I saw men in business suit dancing on old Bonzai sound!
Anyway I rather like the usual rave crowd seen at Cherry... Wink

Do you go out there? Question

The last time I went there was the final closing party of Krypton about a year ago. Like you said it's a beautiful and big place but there's not much dancing and many chicks weren't interested in fooling around a bit geek

. I must admit I liked Krypton more than Sottos, it had a more friendly and familiar atmosphere.

It's weird but nobody from Zottegem seems to go there anymore and it's our hometown scratch

Yeah that was a pretty common sight at Sottos Cool

By the way, there's a website where you can display your arcade collection, I don't know if you're already registered there: http://www.arcade-museum.com/vaps/

I'm sure Belgium can be better ranked... Wink

Unfortunately, choice is limited to KLOV entries and all existing games are not listed on KLOV... Like the Sonic 2, Shinobi III and Streets of Rage 2 Mega-Play cards... I submitted them to KLOV years ago and they are still not in the database. Evil or Very Mad

I see you own a Moon-Walker PCB. My friends and I remember playing it in lunaparks but it was a different version than the one that is emulated by MAME. The emulated version is in isometric view while in our memories it was a side-view beat'em all (with a level set in a bar). Does your version match the dumped one?

In fact maybe operators had bootleged Mega Drive versions who knows...

Mine is the isometric version Very Happy

. But there is a mega-tech version too, and that's a side scroller! Mega-tech games are the same as mega drive versions are they?

You're right, that could very well be it. I don't remember if we were paying for time or credits.

I think so. I know however that Mega-Play games bear some differences to their Mega Drive counterparts.
