Count us in with Zita for 3 nights, I can bring some handhelds like last year. ;)
Patrick, you should bring your Hyper Olympics, forget about those heavy .... fighting games. ;D
I can assure you, HO will be the most popular game at this event. :D
Rumours told me that the Event will be focussed NINTENDO in general...and in special when it comes to cabs :wink:
So count me in with a couple of cabs whichever is needed and fits into the trailer :ghost:
If you don't have a BishiBashi, we can bring it, of course. If we don't have to bring it, we might bring 2 regular cabs. They should fit easily into Dirk's car :)
If its ok with Luigi, the 'Guided Missile'-Cab will do fine. Its a real beauty and features a molded, blacklighted Plastic-Landscape and a mirrored B/W-Image just like SpaceInvaders does.
Sounds like fun! :o

I bring the Hyper Olympic ;)
I bring the Hyper Olympic ;)Added !
......
erm, YOU wanted to pick what game(s) we will bring ;)
Nope !
We stick to Theater 2 for at least the most classic of arcade games, with possibly overflow to the Blue Room, depending of course on amount of offered machines.
We feel that Theatre 2 was absolutely perfect for as "the arcade". We will do our best to enhance airconditioning even more this year ! :)
The Blue Room will have the consoles etc. etc.
Pieter please feel free to add/correct info :)
ah, ok.Yes sir ! Lesson learned from last year :)
btw....will there be name badges for the Eurocade-folks?
Hot from the negotiating table: we have secured the most recent arcade related movie
"The King of Arcades"
for Eurocade/Retro Game Experience !
www.thekingofarcades.com
Great news.I kinda agree, but I've only seen the trailers plus, we also have to think of the general public. It is also awesome that we get agreements from them (and also Jeff Von Ward for Space Invaders) for free.
But obviously with the same people that are involved in all/most of the other movies.....let's see what is waiting for us :)
Video Craze was so bad I felt embarrassed for the people on the screen...
Maybe we could invite the guy in the Pac-Man costume though ;)
I wish I was going. :( Sounds like so much fun. Sadly, I will be on vacation at the same time. ARRGGHGHGHGH!!!

I just watched that whole video. LOL. I haven't seen that movie since it came out. I love the first Vacation. :)
Everything is better than the video craze, man that Movie sucked ass ..
I see there is a arcade game contest to vote for the best restored cab as "each of the games is fully restored into original condition inside and ouside"
I wouldn't consider my Hyper Olympic in that condition ;)
So, we would really LOVE to have that other early 70's altnernative machine, the one every one remembers as THE machine to launch the video arcadegame madness.......anyone ??
So, he put in the plug ? ;D
Hotel? Check
Tickets? Check
Let's get this party started...so many days to wait.....
So, he put in the plug ? ;D
He just stared at the machine :shock: and then decided to go for a bitterballetje ;D
forgot to say that i'll be present this year , thanks to register me in the vip list ;)Cool ! what cab are you bringing? Power Drift ?

A small but rather nice update: there will be an airconditioning unit for the Eurocade arcade Theater 2 room that has 3.5 times the capacity of last year's unit and it will be set up outside of the actual room. We hope to keep things a lot cooler this way this year !
Yeah.....let's expect it to be slightly less hot but still Arcade hot ;)
thanks ! but unfortunately , i'm unable to bring a cab , as the car i'll use doesn't have a hook.forgot to say that i'll be present this year , thanks to register me in the vip list ;)Cool ! what cab are you bringing? Power Drift ?

Fingers crossed I will make this. Just need to speak to my supervisor next week when he comes back. If all goes to plan it is Saudi -Eurocade - Scotland and then back to Saudi 2 weeks later with my family.
nice list
I also like the trailer. Captures the event quite well
600+ views. :ghost: :ghost:
Write my name in the list 8):spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace: Great to have you at the event Bruno!

I like to have such a credit button, are they available for sale?If I'm not mistaken Luigi is selling them.
Vacation approved and more importantly wife permission granted. I just need to fix out flights to get me to there, Glasgow and back to Saudi. Long way to go to play some games.
Yesssssssssssssssss...great to have you Marco !:spaceace: !!
Yesssssssssssssssss...great to have you Marco !+1

...and also FIX IT FELIX Jr to the games list! ;)
Flights booked, Hotel Booked, Wife's flight across booked. Going to be in tatters as I get in to Amsterdam from Saudi at 6am and she gets in around 11am from Edinburgh. Thinking to nip into 020 for some breakfast just to kill a few hours before she gets in and we head down to Hilversum.
I'm going to be there and I'm bringing a "Lovers in a dangerous spacetime" cabinet.

Sounds great Sjaak but uhmmmm, what is it ? ;D
It's a asteroids deluxe style cabinet with a new game on it (which will be released later this year). It's a two player coop version of asteroids with a modern look and feel.
Check out this video of the game: http://youtu.be/43Coq6RLuGQ
Hot from the telex:
Dirk and Thorsten will bring the following AWESOME machines:
Missile Command
Guided Missile (great 70's era machine)
and.... Discs of Tron (ultra-cool cab with _very_ cool gameplay)
Also Cebulba will bring a Sprint2 which Thorsten/Dirk bought, a brilliant 70's racing game, especially fun in two player !
Have I got an update for you guys...........I am very proud about it:
We will have THIS at RGE/Eurocade 2014:
(http://obsoletegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/OutRun-Deluxe-arcade-machine.jpg)
Big thanks to Reboot for this !!!!
We will arrive Friday evening...I guess somewhere between 18:00 and 19:00. I also guess that the doors will be closed for the public at this time so we can bring the games in?
Yep, noted that on the list already, too bad but nothing we can do about it...
A KIND REMINDER FOR THOSE BRINGING CABS:
>>> If your cab needs a step-down converter PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not forget to bring one with you !!!! <<<
Check out this awesome teaser of the 50 minutes of archive footage that will be shown at the event:
SEGA WORLD - LONDON (7 minutes)
http://youtu.be/DO7brn0eJnc
erm, of course I wanted two meals...not for me, but that includes Dirk's meal, too ;)

Still deciding whether to go 1 or days.

Tomorrow I'll put the guts back in. Let's see if she will work properly
Less then 2 weeks to go guys..... yeah
That's strange, because there should be some rooms left, did you tell them you are coming for Eurocade?
Hotel has been booked. Me and Marjolein are officially coming 8) The whole weekend that is.
we don't want you to stay in another hotel.[/color] :spaceace:
Some of you guys must remember that The Bishi Bashi game was such a success. Well, that one will be there again at the RGE, but also this:

Discs of Tron

Greets, Dirk
Guys, here's the updated list of arcade games.My Boot Hill will be there too :)
Hi guys,
I'm sorry to bore you.
I wrote 2 other email to the hotel but I had no answer. I prefer not to call because my mariobros-style english usually don't encourage people on the other side of the phone ;)
thank you anyway for the interest, I'm 2km far from you :D
Do you have to wrapp the cabs? When i got my outruns they weren't wrapped or had anything to protect them.
Don't worry, ReBoot...we won't wrap the cabs before we load them into the car. Of course we will use blankets and stuff so the 'signs of age' don't get worse ;)
Do you have to wrapp the cabs? When i got my outruns they weren't wrapped or had anything to protect them.
Yes, would be better because the cabs will be moved quite a lot in different stages before they are on place, and the same goes for the return route. And we don't want to take the risk of damages. It would be ideal if the games are wrapped when we collect them, we don't want to waste time protecting cabs tomorrow. Therefore protect at least the fragile parts.
We prepared the games for the trip (...) ours have some 'serious' signs of age :-\It's called cabs with soul and it's just the way I like them!

Psst. don't tell this to anyone, but we will bring some bubble wrap with us, especially for you, and only for you! :)
Yes, done for today. Will be continued very soon... .. . .. .. :D
Atari tt is working ;D
Chris, I hate to be the one bringing bad news, but the guys from sound & vision somehow lost your frogger.. .... .. .. ???
I know a guy in the North of The Netherlands with a big pond where frogs love to go, I think I will start my investigations there...yen....i also heard someone "forgot" to unload the Dariusburst........;)
Already in the Blue Room :)Yes, done for today. Will be continued very soon... .. . .. .. :D
cool!!, hope to see more pictures, where is the keyboardmania and Pop'n music machine? ;D

my cabs are in the building too. It's stacked with wrapped cabs right now.
today a lot of visitors were already playing on the 'teaser' cabs, Simpsons, Centipede and VirtuaFighter
O-o....it's not Eurocades fault people....... ;D
Tied up some loose wiring and bolted the power supply safely. Today a do a duration test if everything goes to plan see will be ready to ship by tonight.
I just fired up the Hyper Olympic and I think the monitor blew. I heared a big knocking sound >:( and the lights went outDoes it plays blind? (Can you hear the game playing?).
I didn't change anything in the powering of the monitor and it was working fine before.
Can something inside the tube make this sound? There is no evidence of damage from the outside or on the chassis
Don't worry, ReBoot...we won't wrap the cabs before we load them into the car. Of course we will use blankets and stuff so the 'signs of age' don't get worse ;)
But that's the problem, the guys from Eurocade are going to get the outruns tomorrow if i'm not mistaken, so only tonight i can do a bit on it to get it ready, hopefully, just the bare minimum: screws and a lock and a littlebit of cleaning.
Hopefully not overseen other important stuff, like not having new screws or a lock. That was a stupid oversight of me.
Won't touch the main pcb for the dipswitches for freeplay, to scared to mess the working one up for eurocade, although it seems pretty easy to do. Let the pro's do it so it won't go wrong. :)
Ah, my fault. I wasn't aware that your cabs will be picked up by the EC team ::)
Yeah I should be there !!! That will be great.
Although I think I know most the members here, I'm not sure to recognize all of them in the real word :roll:
Worst, I may 'miss' some people because I don't know who they are... :oops: Badges will be available?

URGENT REQUEST

Drive fast, it´s cool here!!!!
Nice item on national television: http://jeugdjournaal.nl/uitzending/avond/2014-09-13downloading now, any volunteers to translate in english so i can subtitle it for the community ?
Lovers in dangerous space time is a great discovery (congrats sjaak the cab is great).
Thank you for this great experience. I've been very happy to meet you all and I hope to see you soon.
Thank you for the party and really thank a lot to organizing this event...
I'm sorry I couldn't say hello to everyone (Vond, Atarimania,... for instance).
Did you talk to a veryhandsomefat guy with a red Atari shirt ?
If yes, you have spoken to Luigi

I've corrected that for you ;D
(but note that I changed shirts around the time the doors closed for the public (17:20)...before I was wearing a black shirt with some invaders guys ;) )
That was GREAT ! Big thanks to Eurocade team who made a really good job.
Very happy to have met some members with whom we are corresponding since many weeks.

Really really happy that so many Cow-Boys and Cow-Girls enjoyed the Boot Hill.
Thank you all, I'm so tired but so happy right now! ;)
Was nice to Meet you Chris from another Chris as we said :DLikewise!!
Is boothill your machine?
That is so good to see and play on real machine, Mame does nothing for that game. It all makes sence with the cool backdrop 8)
Turned out they plugged a phone (or so ?) into an amp and they were making the music by moving a tiny pen (or so) on the screen......right ?This one had GameBoys, but I agree that the setting wasn't exactly impressive ;)
Vond to be berzerk ! => let s play dud !! : )

THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS for all of you who contributed to RGE/Eurocade 2014 !!! Without crazy guys like you who don't help us/bring cabs etc. etc. we would be nothing.
What? Atarimania was there?? :shock: :-\
Yes I was there.. Why ?? ??? 8)
There I was thinking that such Chiptune DJs (or whatever they wish to be called ;)) would use all kind of cool instruments like hacked SID's, POKEY's etc. or maybe even the machines themselves or whatever at least with a shit load of hardware and looking really cool.....maybe even something like this:

I wasn't there for very long..............I prefer loud chewy 80s music :D

I was having a talk with ysbrand (the chiptuneguy with the DS and the led's on his hat) and he told me he had build a device with 8 SID chips to have 4 channel stereo sound, only he did not bring it unfortunately, i would have loved to hear the good old SID sounds !
Meh....without POKEYs......;)some ? i only see one ?
Some brilliant pictures from Sound & Vision's Facebook page:
This one just struck me....THAT was the feeling I remember from my first arcade experiences.....for a small kid,
Haha, no Stefan.....or did he wear a pink princess dress ? ;)
nice pics and explanations, andré! unfortunately, i couldn't make it, but i'm nevertheless interested whether this year's eurocade was such a success as last year's visitors-wise!
I thought the Crazy Climber Cocktail was hilarious....it looked like the players were milking a cow when they played ;D;D ;D ;D
By the way shouldn't these kids be at school?LOL :) was a bit amazed that there were so many people....:)
The L42 Academy for instance.
Quick report and pictures here : http://coinoplegacy.com/?p=1887
Oh and.....I wondered what happened with the video material that Wisse shot during the event :)
Does anyone have a pic of Chris's Tournament Table at the RGE ?
Did you guys know that this machine actually runs on a PCB that is based on Atari 2600 hardware ?
The things you find on Facebook.....
Dangerous ? Jeez.....about the coolest dudes I've met in my life ;D
One of the people wrote a comment there:
Which of these great guys is holding his belly ?
Yes.
Reserve the first two weekends of september in your agenda's dudes.....we haven't settled on which just yet.
Old Skool Eurocade.
The Lustrum !
exactly!
old school baby!
exactly!
Nice! Like the cozyness of that place. It's like a small American arcade in the 80's :)
Yes! I already love it ... 20 different kinds of beer (cause everybody brings a crate), the smell of old carpet and old electronic devices, the crazy people ... It will be great! The Cavemans are in. There will be no chance to bring the video pinball though :'(Too bad about the VP but as long as you and Grit are there !!!!
Lovers in dangerous space time is a great discovery (congrats sjaak the cab is great).
+1!
And though rumors say different, no Asteroids Deluxe was harmed during the process of building the cab! ;)
