IT crowd, would it be easy to set up a computer with a skype + webcam?
That would be awesome to give the opportunity to members who can not attend to, at least see the event in real time and maybe chat a bit.

Just use Ustream - http://www.ustream.tv/

You can broadcast via their software or even off the flash widget on their page.

A Dl or Dl2 would be great in there, I never had the opportunity to see or play any laser disc games.
Weird huh?

[Q*ris]

That's indeed a double challenge: making a DL cab happen at Eurocade + having it passing Andre's doorsteps 

[Etienne MacGyver]

We have discussed a bigscreen, for multiple purposes, and we agreed that atleast i will bring my beamer.

How and what is not clear yet, because a bigscreen also takes up alot of space..

in any case i always have my laptop with me, and there is a webcam on my laptop, so thats not a problem.
But i think that Andre also has a webcam iirc.

No. Only the second thing is a challenge. Believe me.

Well the Mad Dog's are fun.
And I'd LOVE to try Firefox one time.....

It is with much honor and proudness that we can publish what Mystery Machine ChrisChris will be bringing to Eurocade.

After some good discussion, weighing all pros and cons of the machines he mentioned, we chose a game that has marked a turning point in the history of (arcade) videogaming. A game that has one of the most beautiful set-ups/cabs, and a true B/W classic:

TAITO SPACE INVADERS.

We thought that Eurocade would not be complete without the famous thud-thud   thud-thud sound.....


Yes, this is the famous dark blue original ! Another top-classic added !!! YAHOO !

Edit:
I played Maddog Mcree, but I totally forgot about it, it was 20 years ago.
That game is cool indeed.

Well If I can make It, I may bring a DL or SA of course 

[level42]

Let's see if we can squeeze it in then.....

Seriously, I'm not a dictator, if people want a DL or SA, it's more than welcome of course.

Just don't expect me to play it

[Etienne MacGyver]

I will like to try it on a cab, and i need to admit that the place we hang-out (here) is DLF, so i think a DL is more than welcome ! 

i cannot judge the game untill i played it 

[level42]

True. And for the true feeling, we will set up the game to only play on 2 euro coins (have to think about devaluation) per play. And no you will _not_ get back the money.....let's see how you like it

For those who wish to pick up some Dutch words for Eurocade:

The best part is the last, of coure, the ever popular swear-words

"Watje" is my favorite. It means "sissy" but this is what a Watje actually is:


No idea what those are called in English but they are soft and weak and absorbing everything...so hence the meaning.

I believe they are called "cotton balls"

[level42]

Uh..... that sounds like---weird !

Also reminds me of Cotton-eye joe....another 80's song to add for Eurocade

http://youtu.be/stz0_bk4jx8

This song would go great with a Mad Dog cab

Would love to have a jukebox at Eurocade, does anyone have one ?


P.S. OK, it's not 80's, but what the heck....
