I dig vertical shooters. Raiden, 1942, Xenon etc. Strider and Metal Slug series are also faves. My son is a pacman fiend.

Oh yes Metal Slug! My son and I love that series too. All your cabinet is missing Pabs is a trackball for missile command and centipede! I do like Missile Command from time to time, but I find it frustratingly difficult.
cheers,
Gav.

Thanks @Bargey. Lucky for me all us forumites are too polite to call it what it is. But I appreciate the sentiment all the same.
Stan, you got it man. I love everything to do with the guitar, but unfortunately my playing sucks the big one. Oh well, if you can't play 'em - build 'em. That's what I say!
cheers,
Gav.

In the end Gav, all the great musicians are those who know how to make to most of their limitations. Sure I'd like to be able to play super-fast and clean, but physically I can't no matter how much I practice. It hasn't stopped me playing in public for almost 30 years now. Cause I know what I can do, which is usually just milk a note for all it's worth.

No way , Bargey said it right, if it sucks then be polite enough not to comment.
It had rhythm, was in time and rocked
More importantly than what we think, it looked like you had fun, and that is what it's all about.
I attended a practice jam with friends of a friend who are all session or pro musos: very intimidating. But I kept up, didnt try to over do it and had a ball, they were all very encouraging to the last man. Just enjoy man

Nothing wrong with the playing mate
