"Forget IKEA, The only furniture you need in your front room is an Arcade Machine"

Hey!, Welcome to JAMMA+!

You have stumbled across our little site on the net run by collectors of arcade machines who have a passion for the games of yesteryear like Space Invaders, Pacman and Defender. Games from the 70's and 80's but nowadays also games from the 90's. If you are a like minded individual then you will probably like it here.

We have been around since 2002 chatting away as friends on IRC. We introduced a mailing list on YahooGroups which never really did us any good due to it's limitations. In January 2004 we registered jammaplus.com and launched JAMMA+ forums. Things were slow at first but then it began to gain members. We closed the mailing list at YahooGroups mid 2005 and JAMMA+ forums continues to grow and develop. We are always striving to make the site better by introducing more features. Our members get together for meets and events on a regular basis. At meets we play games, eat food and drink!. Its a great opportunity also to talk tech while you are still sober. Meets usually also include other activities like visiting the coastal amusements or ten pin bowling. A good time is always had by all. We have a superb combined technical knowledge base about the machines we care for and we do our best to help each other out.

We just like to have fun with our hobby



All over the United Kingdom, Video Arcades have fallen and given way to a hoard of fruit machines, grabber cranes and other novelty nonsense. The dingy seedy dens we all knew in our youth are now gone. The days of joystick waggling and button bashing to make the most of your ten pence worth, sadly at an end. But what is the fate of the machines we all loved?. Where are they now?. Well, despite the fact that so many have been sadly destroyed, the good news is that many are also still around these days. Machines that people are aware of are owned, traded and generally cared for by collectors such as ourselves. However there must be machines out there that are still to be found.

"Adopting a machine is preserving gaming history"

Owning a machine is not as expensive as it initially may sound, but be warned before moving your sofa's around to make way for a nice JAMMA cabinet in your living room, be sure to ask the other half!, and remember it will not be long until you're pining for another!

If you have not done so already, why not get yourself registered with JAMMA+ forums and say hello.
