Mitch....go ahead and bug me! No problem! I enjoy this hobby and reading this forum. The industry has changed a ton since I got into it end a ton more since GrandView. They were one of the 1st and I agree that you should contact them to see what you can get, but...I believe I know who was even before them....do your research and then lets discuss. I think the article is a great idea and many people in this community would be interested as well...Milt

....thanks so much for that generous offer!....

I've already found a bunch of info...but most of it is in Japanese!

I'll work on a list of questions....specifically about the whole concept of importing these machines and this great community (that so few people that aren't into home gaming even know about).

It amazes me that these technically stunning machines are available so inexpensively (relatively)...and are in such amazing shape (I'm looking forward to my Tekken by the way! :burnout

I'll email you in a few days.

Thanks again!

By the way....during my "research" today- I came across this PS2 Japanese only game that you guys may be interested in---

.....see ? ....there's an advantage to having a video gamer's perspective on this too! :lmao:

Hello MameMaster, A Portable 2600 !!! Sweet. I saw one of those at a PhillyClassic. I would love to see how I could do on Kaboom on a Portable. Welcome to the Greatest forum on Earth. A ton of Information and Great People abound. Video Games got me into this hobby, and now Im hooked. I am picking up a Space Invaders tomorrow. I have a few Video Game related machines, let me know how you like your Tekken once it arrives. Mike : )

....crud. I have Metal Slug....soon Tekken...I just read about Street Fighter coming soon....now I find out there's a Space Invaders!!!

sigh....another expensive hobby finds its place in my heart.

....yeah the portable is really neat....I'm glad you liked the article.

I am sure Metal Slug & Tekken are the top of the heap for Game related pachislos currently available. Space Invaders looks older, there is a Bubble Bobble in the same cabinet. I also have Mr. Do! & Duel Dragon ( Misc Dig Dug, Mr. Do! & Bubble Bobble Characters ) Mike : )

You might want to contact www.pachislo.com i think they might be able to help you with some of the info your looking for, i think theyve been importing for quite a while
