Hi everybody.

Thanks a lot for a great weekend. Though the rough weather on Saturday and talking far too much (and sometimes too loud) wasn't helpful with my cold (I can hardly speak this morning, already had lots of tea ;) ), I had very much fun. I played maybe 10-12 games all in all, but standing in the gameroom and watching the happy people, grinning and smiling while playing, was really great. Some people even were singing on Dunsay, when you could hear the music. btw. I loved the atmosphere on Sunday when there was music in the gameroom. On Saturday it was far too quiet...if there was at all ;)

Almost 3k paying visitors instead of the expected 500, and to have been a small part of it makes me a little proud.

I have to repeat the wish for badges. It would have been great if the Eurocade-people could have been recognized. Maybe with nickname.
I don't know if this event will ever be repeated, but I would really suggest to have name signs then.

A few selected pics. I loved the gameroom when it was crowded to its limit ;)

Yes! I'm home in cold and rainy Norway again. Thanks for a very nice weekend in Hilversum! I really enjoyed meeting you guys, and I had a good time playing lots and lots of games. I got to play a lot of cabs I've dreamed of playing, and there were some nice surprises as well. I'm still in love with Juno First, I still suck at Donkey Kong, I got inspired to restore my Space Invaders and I got to play Etienne's legendary Crazy Kong! :) Hope to see you all next year!
All I wanted was a Pepsi!
Currently looking for an original Wonderboy PCB.

I had a great time at Eurocade this weekend.

I arrived an hour late because of some problems loading the cab in the car (I just love loading cabinets in the pouring rain  ;D). Couldn't believe how many people were already in the building when I arrived.

The event was perfectly organised and the arcade room was amazing. Great to see so many cabs in working order.

Also great to meet so many people from the forum. Although name tags would have been nice. It's hard to remember all the names and to match that to the nicks.

yeah guys, we made it to Dutch national TV yesterday evening. The Eurocade in-crowd watched it in the bar of the hotel and when it was finished everybody cheered and applauded, great fun :)

I am leeching the stream now, later i will cut-out "our" part.

Anybody wants to volunteer to translate the spoken tekst into english so i can sub it for our non dutch speaking friends like the last video ?
