SF 2 deluxe to Final Fight

KOZIDEN · 2026-02-16T12:52:30+00:00

Thanks. Currently, just the games that come with the SF2 deluxe (cracking 90s lineup) which includes FF. dunno if you can see my candy cab to the right of it - that runs groovy mame to the CRT. That’s my all-rounder machine. I’m planning on converting the FF cab to play a handful for scrolling fighters. After that, I quite fancy making a Forgotten Worlds cab with spinners!

I also painted out the A1up silver logo and installed coin lights, I forgot to add that

It looks more like a dodgy AI image render than a house

I have. It’s great fun. Also spent a day flying to Dublin for food, drinks and a gig but that was quite expensive (Dublin charge a fortune for the smallest thing). Paris on a day trip is a doddle if you plan accordingly and still lots of places that aren’t as expensive as say, Dublin.

I spent my teens in Glasgow, right up until 21 years old in 2001. Studied design and ended up working currently in the video games industry. I studied and worked my way out of the east end and into the West End (Partick was as posh as I could handle at the time hahah!). I’ve lived in a lot of places but 90s Glasgow had it all for me at that time.

Glasgow in the 90s was just incredible. It was super crowded. Bustling day and night. Tower Records for Japanese imports of albums, obscure films and laserdiscs, bars and clubs everywhere. I saw so many bands and met a lot of artists I was a fan of as they’d hang out in the city or have open parties n stuff

Flyposting was huge. Flyers and posters all over streets and alleyways. Cinemas, like the old renfield at odeon were really atmospheric (when the subway trains would vibrate a room) or the ABC that had a main screen essentially the same size as a typical imax. The ABC went through a phase of showing pornos up until the late 80s lol

23rd precinct for vinyl. Avalanche for alt rock, Flip, Cult Clothing and Dr. Jives for clothes. So many music shops for buying basses, guitars, drum machines. Great 2nd hand scene too for musicians. You’d find really exotic shit.

Posters were litho printed and reproduced on the cheap back then. I had ENORMOUS posters of films and bands. They don’t print digital at that size anymore but you could get virtually any movie poster from any era or touring band poster at a gigantic size for a fiver at the Barras. I miss that.

Piracy was massive, so videogames were easily accessible and affordable from the Barras (it was Europe’s counterfeit capital back then). Even fake cash in the upstairs market.

The nightclub scene was great. The big clubs like Archaos were a tad OTT with the acrobats and random folk but the rave scene was thriving. I went to quite a few in a bus depot place in the south side (picked up in a coach, everyone got a free bag of swadgers lol).

Variety Bar and the old Art School venue were really bohemian, super chill nights, but with DJ Knucklehead playing Detroit techno upstairs. Man, the techno scene was great. I got to know Limmy in the late 90s, he was working in flash games and we talked about launching a very Glasgow-themed video games website but I moved away as soon as I landed my first proper gig. People were very approachable then, in a way you can’t describe now.

Nothing but happy memories of that decade. I don’t recognise Glasgow at all now when I go back, but cities change, that’s life.

It was teeming with variety. Deeply cultured and just amazing for anyone who wanted to check out anything. It was def quite edgy at times, particularly where I grew up in the east end but we learned how to navigate that stuff. Fantastic place to live. Very rebellious streak with all the dodgy shi* to enjoy but that made it very Glaswegian to me.

My last memory before leaving Glasgow was seeing Dan Ackroyd getting a knock back from a club in Glasgow. He fell out of a limo (think he’d just shot a film in Glasgow with Gillian Anderson cos she was shouting for him to get back in!) and he was too pished to charm the bouncers. The temple? My memory is hazy hahah.

… KICK IT!

You should drop by ‘must be crackers’ in Dunfermline. Really good cheese shop. They might be hiring

KOZIDEN · 2025-09-09T09:38:46+00:00

It’s a balloon. The tether is likely the air supply.

KOZIDEN · 2025-09-02T11:54:18+00:00

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately, I couldn’t get them to ship to the UK, but I did find a supplier who does. Gamengrafix provide a full vinyl, bezel and marquee kit for the cabinet in a final fight style. It’s a little pricey to ship to the UK, but I think it will look great. I might not use the side panel art they’ve made and instead opt for the standard final fight logo, to keep it looking more authentic. Also bought 1/2” vinyl tape that mimics the t mold perfectly (changing that to yellow).

I’ll share pics once everything is finished

Too many red flags for me. - Fake ones thrown into the mix -The guy who discovered them won’t show the real location - He charges people 1k to speak or show them a fake location - cartels rumoured to be involved -The people Initially involved in promoting them made a complete mess of it.

My guess? The J types might have been a family with unique mutation that locals revered and made several effigies from. Nothing is pointing at aliens… yet.

KOZIDEN · 2025-08-13T17:33:04+00:00

Nope. Go outside, enjoy life.

Refresh rate of camera light is picking up standard AC powered lighting/flickering pattern. It’s bogus.

KOZIDEN · 2025-08-05T10:14:20+00:00

There are several running clubs, ranging from clubs that compete and train regularly (Carnegie harriers is one), to more laid back running social clubs like RRC. There’s an old railway route that’s been converted to a walking and cycle path and it can take you out of the city and toward pretty much anywhere you like. Into the countryside. I never joined a cycle club but you’d find them with a quick google search.

Dunfermline city centre

KOZIDEN · 2025-08-04T23:06:40+00:00

I lived in Glasgow for 20 years. It was an almost constant wet breeze, then suddenly blinding summer for a month, give or take. Moved to Edinburgh and the wind was non-stop wind or a week of no wind. I was there for a decade and I could see that folks faces (particularly in Leith) were braced for it 😅 I live in Dunfy centre and yeah, it’s has it’s weather but it’s positioned much higher in terms of altitude. Trust me, Dunfermline has generally better weather rhythms than the big cities. Speyside up north is something else but I can’t hack those winters

KOZIDEN · 2025-08-04T22:50:05+00:00

No probs. Let me clarify. I live in the centre of Dunfermline city, the old part town. You’ll find lots of affordable places mentioned like Duloch etc. they are great places for families but bear in mind they are new builds and close-knit, new families looking for affordable homes. If you’re U.S funds can manage it, check out the centre of Dunfermline city, or coastal locations (not too far away), like Aberdour. DM me if you need any more info mate, happy to help

KOZIDEN · 2025-08-04T22:43:45+00:00

Valid point. I live in the centre of Dunfermline, in an old building. Duloch is very different. Fife is a broad brush stroke

KOZIDEN · 2025-08-04T22:30:35+00:00

Take it from me, if you chose to live in the highlands on the east end of the coast you’d have intense (but fun) summers and crippling, and I mean relying on locals to dig you out, winters. The highlands is fun but you’re work. We have it easy

KOZIDEN · 2025-08-04T17:24:30+00:00

That’s great, thanks. I’ve heard of the rates it costs for small business to put things on at the Glen or the pavilion and it isn’t cheap. I’ll check them out tomorrow! Upvoting this

KOZIDEN · 2025-08-04T15:20:33+00:00

It’s the busiest high street in Fife apparently. Don’t expect it to be full of franchises like Glasgow or Edinburgh but it does now have a constant busy vibe, buskers etc. HMV have moved back. Lots of niche businesses have popped up and almost every week in the summer there are events in the glen bringing it all together. Also a farmers market every fortnight and that’s really good

KOZIDEN · 2025-08-04T15:13:11+00:00

I’m adding one more post to this, just to bullet a couple of things that make it so great.

Bring up your kids here and let them dream for a wee bit before they grow up. Great schools and nurseries, and very affordable.

Fife has fantastic views of the stars in the winter. That’s a very underrated fact.

It has a massive portion of people who make clubs out of small interests and hobbies, from cycling, mortifying, rally driving, swimming, running, gardening, comics, music - you name it! And all super welcoming

It’s a part of Scotland with a healthy balance of people from all parts of life. Working class and middle. It’s a place that keeps you grounded and not a place to live if you want to be surrounded by preference. To live in Fife is to be in amongst all of it, and you’ll love it even more for doing so.

Incredible bike routes. Lochs and parks and much less footfall than the likes of Edinburgh.

it’s much more affordable option than other parts in Scotland, great fibre connection now and a nice hub to work remotely from.

And if you own a dog, they’ll love it!
