Mayflash F500 unboxing
Yesterday my Mayflash F500 Universal Arcade Fightstick arrived.
In the next following days I'm going to test it with a few games to understand if I did a good purchase or not, but in the meanwhile I made a few pictures during the unboxing.

Dangar UFO Robo
It is interesting how Dangar, an old style vertical

especially if taking a look at the date of birth (1986).
