Is it already February?!!!

So.  It's a new year.

2015.... will be a good year.

The transition between 2014 and 2015 was rife with excitement for me!
I picked up in the span of four weeks (mid-December through mid-January)...

- an Outrun (grail for me),
- a Galaga (another strong desire), and two project machines,
- Double Dragon in a Moon Patrol cab,
- and X-Men vs Street Fighter working, just no monitor.

Let's talk about each one.

Hulk Smash!

First off, a story. 

Growing up in arcades, my next door neighbor and I always played Street Fighter II.  He was Ryu, I was Guile.  The battles we had were epic.  Ultimately, he won (sad face).

Moving forward, Capcom started releasing games in these large blue cabinets, with stereo sound. They were *awesome*!  Now, I have always liked these "Big Blue" cabinets, as the are called. An opportunity came up locally for me to get one.  I jumped on it.
