Gday all.. First off thank you john for inspiring me to get back into the arcade game, I used to play them when I was young at timezone and it was always a treat to play em. Im a 90s child so most the games were racing and some action/beat em ups. I remember having my birthday at a place called Hungrys in Canberra and seeing all the cool games like Mk2, KI2 and street fighter, also seeing all the pinballs that I hadden really gotten into at that age. So when I saw a arcade impossible cross over I was so wanting to jump in and start reliving those years and playing all the 80s ones I had missed out on. Have to say a big thanks to greg from arcade impossible for opening me up to your vids and then onto johns stuff. I have only one real retro bar I go to in Melbourne called bartronica, I could not belive it when I saw all the games and that I can drink too. The people involved in this industry are so wonderful and having john, phet and jow reply to my tweets makes it even better. Plus had greg answer that he wouldn't be down under this year but I will buy him and any others a beer if they ever hit AUS.

Thanks for reading guys
