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

http://youtu.be/mFr67kn0cYc?hd=1

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

"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.
Lol, in hungarian it's "vatta". ;D

That's very close !!! Do you use it as a swearing name too ? ;)

Thinking about bearded men and arcade video games and great 80's music.....

I had to find THIS on youtube:
http://youtu.be/6EXXZVdUJ98

(For those who can't see it: it's ZZtop with Legs).

Some great games in that video: Berzerk (without bat-joystick), SI and.......an Atari Destroyer (!) if you look closely.

Man I LOVED that video back in the day....  ;D ;D

No, just for cotton balls, but we have huge quantity of words for swearing, maybe the most in Europe. :D

we call it cotton wool
cotton balls works very well as a term for a sissy though, maybe a new phrase has been invented :D
just keeping an eye on things

OK this is completely derailing, but what other arcade relation does ZZ top have ?
Price for the winner is free entrance to Eurocade even without a cab ;)

OK ZZtop's Eliminator album has been added to the Eurocade jukebox collection  ;D

Let's start a separate thread with music suggestions for the Eurocade Jukebox !

Remember, late 70's and 80's and maybe some early 90's only, and the cheesier the better ! :D

Well If I can make It, I may bring a DL or SA of course  8)

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

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 :P

Well, such reactions does not give me want to take this game to be honest...
Everyone may or may not like a game, but as arcade game collector, and but most important 'Arcade Life Styler' in a friendly meeting, I do not denigrate a "someone's favorite" game, just because I'm not a fan. I rather be curious about the game and try to figure out why that particular game is the somebody's favorite one, listen his stories about the game, and finally play the game to respect the effort of someone's bringing a game in a convention...
In a general way, when I don't like something, I don't feel the need the express myself about it, or at least, I use to say 'not my cup of tea' instead 'It sucks!' I prefer the 'positive side' of the things  ;)

Sorry guys but I have to react on this  :P

Personally i would love to play a classic laser-disk game @ Eurocade! It will be the only one and make a nice addition to the available cabinets.  

But it doesn't really matter which cab (gyruss, xevious ;)) you bring, just be there.  :D ;D ;) ;)

Nicely put.  :) and totally true.  I never played DL, nor any other laser disc game, but would love to do so.

Dear Bruno,

After all this time that I hung around on this forum you should know my "style of humor". It's the same thing as my "famous" Galaga "hate".
In all seriousness I have very little against Galaga. It's a nice game. But I simply prefer Galaxian.
During time and several posts on several forums, I kind of find it funny to "feed" and "cultivate" the Galaga vs. Galaxian "war".
It's the same with C64 vs. A8. It's just a bit of fun, teasing.

Again, I have nothing against a LD game at Eurocade, in fact, I would most welcome it to finally give it a SERIOUS try.

It's true, I admit, I have mentioned my feelings about DL more than once here and in other places. I've been teasing too long. I should finally write down _why_ I have this attitude towards DL.

I hope this is still a forum where several opinions are allowed.

Remember that cultures differ greatly between countries, and in fact even regions.
I'm from Rotterdam. Rotterdam is a no-nonsense, cut-the-bullshit city, where people simply say what they think. Not all cultures are used to people being so direct. I know. Even in Holland there are regions that are a bit less straightforward, but I think it's safe that Dutch people in general have little fear of saying what they think. There are pros and cons about this. A big pro is that it's clear right away what people think. A con can be that people get hurt a little if they take things personally when it's not meant that way.

In other words: I have a "big mouth" :)

SO.....to not clutter this wonderful thread anymore, I suggest I start a new topic where I will write my honest feelings NOW about DL. Then, I hope we can welcome you here with a DL cab and I will honestly and with an open mind play it and will give the game another chance.

As you see, there are lot's of people who are dying to actually try DL (or another LD game) in real life, and I am all for it that they should be able to so they can judge if they like it or not themselves.

Eurocade is not (just) my thing, it's a community thing. The fact that I had asked CKONG, Etienne, Gyruss and RobinHolland to form a team  BEFORE I even announced Eurocade should be a clear indication about that.

Anyway, a lot of words to say, please bring DL to Eurocade you will do a lot of people a great joy with it, don't let a moron like me who keeps teasing about it stand in their (and your) way.

My son has long claimed dibs on Star Wars Trilogy as soon as he heard that it was coming :)

Back to business gentlemen and ladies....

To enter Eurocade, we request you to "register" with us.
That means, we want the following info:

1)Avatar name on forum(s)
2)Real (full) name + name of any relative/friend you bring
3)Full address
4)e-mail address
5)mobile phone number
6)what cab(s) you plan to bring

Please PM me this info ASAP so I can add you to my Eurocade database. We will NOT provide any of the info to anyone else.
We will ONLY send the required info about the location of Eurocade AND a printable "ticket/name badge" to those we have registered.

Please note that there will be NO admittance without registration & ticket/name badge !

I think the reasons for this are clear to everyone.  Thanks for your understanding and cooperation :)

P.S. if possible add a small picture of yourself, this makes searching the database a lot easier ;)
