Play Belgium / Game On

[METALHEAD]

WOULD LOVE TO GO.... except not real sure I can afford the ticket to europe let alone getting the passport in time hehe.  Please take pics and post here to allow we americans to slobber in envy  hehe

- we gather at a pub
- after some time we jointly go to the event
- afterwards we have a meal in a restaurant (Italian or something like that)
- the diehards can go and get drunk afterwards  

Just a note: the location is in a dodgy neighbourhood

Like an arcade !

I just went there. Although it is nice to see all those arcade oldies it is a shame you cannot play those games except for the computer/consoles.
I especially liked the Maneater. Never heard of this before but it is really a fantastic cabine. Kinda hugh too.

If someone can point me out how to post photos here I will drop some later.

Did they rent your Computer Space Bruno?

Nope, it's not mine 

But they are the same cabinets 



By the way, here's the first thing you've to do when you'll see Computer Space & Pong ...both 'holy grail' in arcade collecting    





Greg (Misteriddler), if you read this... thanks you for these great ArcadeLifeStyle pictures 

See the original report in french on gamoover, right here.

upload them to some webalbum, or "homepage space", and the "paste" the link between (img) (/img) using this button

actually the ( & ) needs to be replaced with [ & ] in order to make it work

It should look like this:

HUH ? AFAIK you _can_ play the arcade games except for Pong and Computer Space (and the PDP) ?
They look playable enough and the show was always advertised as such.

If none of the games are playable I see _very_ little use of going over there...

They are nearly all playable. The non-playable ones are computer space, pong and maneater.

Most consoles are playable too.

Ha Ha 

Great riddler,

Wow it seems like pong and computer space get his attention  

Anyway great hilarious moment,

Yeah, Got it 2 year ago  

not this normal version but The original Japanese version

directly from a collector in Japan with which I swap a DL + some spare parts


Only for shipping it cost me a fortune but it is the only version with the original

japanese control panel

Will post some photos tomorrow that I've got some time (finally!)

[level42]

I thought this actually _was_ the Jap version ? The blue Taito one I mean ? If not, is this UK built then ?

[Blanka]

You went there very fast Bruno. First day?

[DarthNuno]

Nope, I went at the UK event, three years ago  See here.

But I'm curious to see what happens in Brussels, especially if other members plan to go there... the idea of a meeting sounds cool 

[level42]

Yes. Problem is I am already planning a visit to Ully's place in january...
I was more thinking about going the x-mas holiday.

Not yesterday. Pressing player-one did nothing on some I tried. Only tried on the first couple of cabine though. No-one else was playing games either.
Anyway, I had great time playing the Amiga 500. I have many good memories of this baby.
