How Did I Get Here?
Emulation programs such as Dave Spicer's Sparcade and Mame rekindled my long dormant interest in Arcade Games!
A lasting memory I have of the early 80's is playing Galaxian for hours on end on Southsea pier. I spent a fortune whilst on holiday playing that game. I also remember an arcade in my home town which had all the classics. I used to spend an hour or so most evenings playing. I think collecting arcade games has become the natural progression from collecting computers! Space is a bit of a problem though.
