    nice, where did you get that pc desk from? i need a new one myself, also your shelfs can hold a lot of stuff, i don't have a lot of room in my apartment so i can't have very big shelfs.

    I couldn't help smiling at the Cubes in that shop with PS2 stands under them. This is not what nature intended ;)

    Looks like a great place, though. Spotted a Super Wildcard in there, and also some weird NES consoles. Judging by their size the latter must be clones, I'm guessing? Wonder if they're 72pin.

    Nice game room, anyway. Where did the supergun come from?

    well spotted :) They are the CS 1.5's - great speakers to have. i run those as the fronts, infinity cascade centre and infinity modulus rears - its a great sounding setup without being unaffordable.

    some are clones for sure..you have to be careful - the good thing is you can test everything there and make sure it works. i gave them a test, they had no Neo Geo's - i said to them "Get me one" 24 hours later i got the call, working NEO AES with arcade stick...its a great place.

    Sorry, the supergun i bought on the weekend from a guy in Abu Dhabi - i found him online and he had 4 superguns for sale (3 x MAS Supernova) and a Sigma AV-7000 - the problem is the latter i know is very expensive.

    He also had around 8 Cave PCB's, ive taken 4 from him so far...those arent cheap either as you can imagine..

    Hey man no its in Kuwait.

    In terms of Dubai retro shops good luck - i have one contact at Geekay games and he let me raid their warehouse in Al Quoz - it had loads of stuff but i bought most of it. Dubai has a terrible retro scene im afraid...

    Fantastic collection there bud! Looks organized, and well looked after :)

    Wish I saw a shop like that here in Australia. With just cabinets full of Retro stock.. Early 2000s there were plenty of stores I could go to, now.. there is 1.

    Is there more than one place in Dubai?
