Hey everyone!

I go by Manny, born in the late 80s so I was only fortunate enough to experience the arcades in the late 90s, early 00s.
Growing up, I enjoyed a lot of Strikers 1945 II & III, Gauntlet Dark Legacy, DDR, Pump it Up, Beatmania, Sega Rally, Hydro Thunder, Star Wars Episode I & Attack From Mars pinball, Metal Slug, Mortal Kombat, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Power Stone 1 & 2, Crazy Taxi, Star Wars Arcade Trilogy, Star Wars Racer, Time Crisis, House of the Dead, Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Virtual On, TMNT, X-men, Simpsons, and I'm sure I'm forgetting many others...

Although my collection is small, I am happy with it, and hope to grow is a bit further by including all the MK games in 1 cab with a switcher, a virtual pinball machine, and some Sinden light guns on my Vewlix.

Aside from Arcade stuff, I also enjoy collecting & playing old PC games, and retro consoles starting with the NES and newer (especially Pokémon stuff). Also like going off-road (with Jeeps), play Magic the Gathering, and build Lego. In the past I also used to cosplay a lot, mainly Star Wars stuff.

Would love to meet more like minded individuals, especially in the North Las Vegas area. I've already discovered @H2HCabs is a coworker lol.

Hadn't seen your big box PC or Pkmn collection. When people suggest to stack Gold and Silver I just figure they mean CIB at these prices :D


Great post and glad we struck up a convo about it so we can waste time playing Scam Star Citizen.

Welcome! Awesome collection. Can you tell us more about that marquee you made for your Vewlix?

Hello, thanks!

I upgraded the default Vewlix screen to a LG Ultragear 1440p 160Hz then added an extra LG 29” ultrawide 1080p monitor using a clamp style monitor mount and use BigBox (LaunchBox) on PC which supports a secondary screen to display marquees. Whatever game I select will switch the marquee to match.

Since the mount is clamped on, there are zero holes drilled, it holds pretty well without any damage.

I’m sorry I’m not sure I understand the question. The Vewlix uses a PC for convenience. The other arcades such as the Neo Geos and the Mortal Kombat uses real arcade boards. I hope that answers your question?

Just curious if you are using actual arcade hardware like the Taito Type X2 or running a console like the Switch or PS5.
