Just a massive thank you to every single contributor on GameEx.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here for helping my dad complete some projects and "bucket lists".

He was a lifetime member on this forum (name: macattack).

Since 2015 he had battled stage 3 t4 aggressive bladder cancer. He passed away in June this year after 5 years.

Among many other accomplishments he set out to do, he managed to build 3 cabinets. I was amazed by what he was doing but never looked TOO much into how, just more impressed that he did it.

I in turn inherited his pc, with his 2tb GameEx collection on this machine. I wanted to share  just a couple images of what he also built in the same. He eventually sold them to other people but these were just amazing projects and I'm so proud of him.

I've just recently found some documents hidden on the "gameex ssd" and I've found a ton of content which shows that this place helped him so much. Although he did not say much on this forum, I can assure you he was most happy, and appreciative of anything he ever found that may have assisted him with his Pinball machine and 2 arcade cabinets.

There wasn't much else for me to say other than thank you all who may have contributed in him accomplishing some dreams of his over the last few years.

 

Thank you.
