In order to thanks the close participants to my Galaxian(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Themes/default/images/post/G3.gif) saga, I wanted them to be the first ones to 'officially' try the monster in a kind of 'warming session' or let's say a 'pre-meeting' before the official opening of the Nuno's Lair V3 to come! :)
So, it was also a good opportunity to power on most of my playable games and see if the game room explodes or not... ;D A good test before the big day in other words.
A ton of pictures to come... so stay tuned guys.

Two honest comments:
1)
Personally I would remove that snake from the Q*bert. It hurts the beautiful lines of that brilliant cab and " good wine needs no bush".
2) God, DK looks great in red ! :)

How cute !

It is nice to see that the V3 is finally filled with cabs and players. :spaceace:
-
Such a great afternoon, very tired at the end of the day, but hey...
..we were there !!!
I agree belike : V1 and V2 were already such great experience.
V3 is at least twice much more exciting. You can't take yours eyes
of these beautiful cabs all around.
It's even weird to see V1 as the workshop place.
So again, thank you so much for your warm invitation.
:spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
Merci à votre gentillesse et votre accueil.
Belgium rules !

very tired at the end of the day
probably due to the lack of ventilation and oxygen in the galaxian theater ;) :P

A few pics quickly taken with my phone (hey, once you have the luck to be there, you have to make a choice: enjoy the games and friends... or take nice pictures ::)).
Thanks again for the invitation, buddy, it's THE over-awesomest coolest bazingest place for any arcade lover and it was a (zolgear) blast to meet you all once again.
Also if you followed the evolution of the gameroom build and almost every cab restorations on DLF, like I did, you can really measure the time and passion involved in this lair.
I don't think Bruno realize how magic this place is, it's like when you cook a meal, often you don't fully know how great it tastes because you spent so much time preparing it ;).
I still have pixels in my eyes from this visit and I'm 300% reboosted to work harder on my machines.
(also special thanks to Christopher 'Pag Man' to make a "Kung-Fu Master game loop" look so ridiculously easy, and for sharing his ninja tips with me... I'll put your lessons to good use, sensei!)

Super place to hang out, very nice, love to see it in real life but that won't be possible in this lifetime :(

Love the Tron decoration, really awesome, just like the whole atmosphere! I remember seeing some of the G3 parts when I visited some years ago and I never doubted you would one day finish it, just that it would taje some time. CONGRATAULATIONS and I hope to return for the grand party ;)

F1 started to be good again since Kimi is back, I was really sick of those red bull idiots. :lol:

I have no idea. F1 racing went to pay TV over here, but I wasn't watching it anymore anyway.....

WOW
What a great place those lairs are!! Bruno, you must feel so proud having achieved this, really superb. I guess that there are no words to describe your arcade. I am working hard to finish my gameroom, but when I see this place of yours, then I almost think ´why bother´. ???
Al those pictures, gigantic! :)

your place looks absolutely amazing on these pics :spaceace: :spaceace:

Yeah, we'd love some WIP pictures of your gameroom to Erik :) And 'why bother' ?? Well for the fun of having a great collection in a cool setting in your backyard :P
