More pics 'cause I badly miss the beeps and bleeps already.
Thanks to all who made it possible and gave their energy to spread the retro game love to soooooo many visitors.
I'm beaten and exhausted but this isn't game over, kids!


 :arrow: At the entrance, before entering the building you already had cool 8-bit music blasting from hidden speakers.
I can tell you that entering RGE in the morning on the Mega Man theme sure boosts you for the rest of the day!














 :arrow: The keys to my spaceships, my Ferrari... and my rental van.
























 :arrow: While mother is playing... her son in the pushchair is playing as well, awesome!  ;D


































Hail to Béla, the winner of the Donkey Kong Competition.
You're OUR King of Kong, buddy  ;)

I'm so proud to be a part of this so no need for thanks!
BUT there's still one thing you could do for me in the coming weeks: I would like to have those 8-bit tracks you were playing at the entrance pleaaaaaase :)

Brilliant pics Chris !!!

HUGE thank you to you and the Retroludix guys, who arranged ALL the consoles and home computers...

 I totally loved all the boxes in the revolving door at the entry :)

This:


reminds me of a Star Wars scene ;)

I am almost already used to it, but what a beautiful building it is ! I love modern architecture....and we have some great architects in our little country.

Thanks but: great stuff + great people + great place = great pics  ;)

Saturday, I saw people looking at them boxes and then asking the shop how much it was to buy them  :D

Also, I would like to thank here my friend 4l4in who carefully checked my cabs with me before this Eurocade and made them so reliable.
Even my moody Space Invaders from the Duke of Lancaster hold on during 2 long days of intensive playing sessions.
Stress tests: passed with high distinction  :spaceace:

I uploaded this here this morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpfQP6VbyfU
GREAT SOUVENIR VID, much better than mine, but I was too excited to pause at each cab like you did...  ;)
Thanks for the upload!

Back in Germany I must say this was a GREAT and AWESOME weekend (although I only stayed the saturday) - for me it was a special dutch "back in time" week (more on this later on my blog w/ pictures)
Met a lot of friends, played some nice cabs I ever wanted to (tell me - how do you play Lunar Lander? I didn't got ANY points at all at this game) and was very nice
to see people engaging with the games (reminder: next time small manuals would be good - I always saw/helped people trying to shoot at Robotron with the buttons ;-) ).

The building and its architecture spoke on his own and with the game room upstairs maybe setting a new standard for game room wall decorations :-)

Was very hot in there - so glad all machines went well the whole weekend. On my exhibitions I normally have a 30% total loss...


more of these please! Anybody has some nice pics on the setup (before and after - with lightning?). Most of my pics went blurry.

For my own exhibition http://www.retro-spektive.de I need some details regarding visitor counts and maintance - whom to ask?
I'm trying to arrange a big retro game exhibition in 2014 in Hamburg and for my 100+ slides presentation I would need some "insights". Thanks for a PM :)

anyway - I must say - I totally loved the experience and the entire setup with all parts of games and the nice building. I can't see the point in "driving 400 km round trip" is too far for so many people (in special for some Germans) - where else do you get such a setup (same counts for most Retro Gaming fleamarkets/beurs).

P.S.: If I had knonw Jochen Hippel would be there - I would have brought a couple of my AMIGA games :)
