Title: The Arcade Experience in Cambridge
Post by: NES4Life on May 10, 2017, 02:59:37 PM

In celebration of getting the museum cabs up and running again,  Ianski, t-m and nes4life will be running 'The Arcade Experience', a public arcade gaming event, on 2nd September 2017 at The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge (UK). We're planning on getting over 20 arcade machines into the museum and creating a classic arcade experience for an evening. There'll be all the usual museum exhibits and computers (mainly running arcade conversions), a licensed bar, blaring 80s music, classic cabs, a high-score competition and the best food only a burger van can provide!

Those attending from the forum will get entry into the museum all day Saturday for just the cost of attending in the evening (i'll get a code and a link up soon). We'll be sure to get a cab list up but if you know Ianski's collection then you're half way there!

Get involved guys!

I've visited this museum a couple of years ago, it's definitely fun and nice.

Also Cambridge is a great city and easy to reach by train from Stansted airport in about half an hour.

There's also a nice modern arcade here.....at least there used to be one.... https://cambridgeleisure.co.uk
