The NAOMI
Raymod | 10:23 PM on 08.26.2007 4 comments


Just thought I'd write a post about the NAOMI arcade machine that's in my local independent games store, at this point in time we have Capcom VS SNK in it but are hoping to get Marvel VS Capcom 2 for it because we believe more people would play it due to it have Marvel characters in it, plus the fact I love the game too.
Here's the Cab




Putting the arcade machine in the shop was the idea of my friend who works and The Games Centre,
I'm not 100% sure how he managed to persuade management into letting him put it in the shop but he did.
the next big hurdle was getting the Naomi to the shop my friend decided it would be best to remove the monitor from the machine and taking that to the shop separately from the actual cab, that was where i came in, monitors are heavy bloody things and it doesn't help when the only thing you have to hold on to is squared off, thank Ken Masters (GOD) for a pair of pink gardening gloves :D.
We managed to get the cab to the shop thanks to my Friend's girlfriend's father (he's a great guy).

When we got it there putting it together was easy we had it all set to 20p a credit and everything thing was working fine till my friend went to hand me a tool (:D) and due to my butter fingers it fell underneath the coin slot as i was trying to get it back out i must have done something cos it was no longer giving credits, i unfortunately had to go home at that point cos i had work that night and required some sleep.
I'm not sure what the problem was but luckily the problem was solved and it's working fine.

That's it been in the shop for about a week now and i think most of the money in it is from us some customers have played it, i know for a fact the biggest customer is a guy from the pet shop across the street which is good for us because he keeps getting called back over to the pet shop and we get to continue with his game :D
If anyone's interested I'll keep posting about it if anything else happens :D
so anyway here's an image of me playing it :D

 about me

Ok I'm Raymond Thomas Smith A.K.A. The 'MOD (which was created due to a friend forgetting to put the N in Raymond).
I reside in a small town near Glasgow in SCOTLAND which has an awesome independent Video Games shop named GAMES CENTRE where i hang about when i have nothing better to do.
I work for ASDA which is the U.K.'s very own WALMART (well it is actually WALMART).
ANYWAY!!! i have a decent collection of gaming STUFF spanning from the mid 80's to current day.

When it comes to the question of what my favorite games are i find it really hard to come up with an answer cos off the top of my head I'd say Secret of mana but then The Legend Of Zelda Link to the past comes to mind, so i then just give up with the question and just say i like all games even the rubbish ones cos they make the good ones good.
I really enjoy retro scrolling shoot 'em ups like Raiden and Gradius. Ha Ha! Pockey and Rocky just popped into my head there, i think I'll have a shot of that after this.

OH! and i LOVE Street fighter games and wish CAPCOM would actually make a NEW one with a story mode and NEW sprites.

I'm also a fan of Movies, most of my fave' movies are from a little known Director by the name of John Carpenter. :D
