Retro Gaming / Arcade Convention in The Netherlands 15-1-12
« on: December 27, 2011, 11:50:32 PM »
Hey everyone,

After a lot of work I'm proud to anounce that the 15th of january 2012 there will be a big Retro Gaming Convention in "Den Draai" in Deurne.
This convention in the south of the Netherlands is only a short ride from most parts of Holland and Belgium!
So after all the conventions in the north of Holland, there will finally be a convention in the south!

At the convention traders, resellers and collectors will display, trade and sell their retro games.
From MSX to Atari and Playstation 2 to Gamecube, anything you'd want will be there.
With more then 150 tables of gaming goodness and an arcade event this will be a convention you don't want to miss!

The arcade event will consist of a Super Street Fighter IV contest and an Arcade Highscore Battle!

The information
- Location: Den Draai, Blasiusstraat 2, 5754 AV, Deurne (Zijlberg)
- Time: 10.00 - 16.00
- Entrance fee: 2 euro (kids below 12 are free with a supporting adult)
- over 150 tables of retro goodness
- Arcade event with prizes
- Catering and abundant parking space
- Easy to reach with public transport, 10 min walk from the train station

In order to make this fair a succes we try to spread the news in as many ways as possible.
You can help us out with that by joining us on Facebook and telling your friends about it!t te nodigen!

Well the OP put it op late december...but I guess it got "snowed under" between fireworks, oliebollen & champagne.....

I don't think I'm going. I think Im going to spend some more time with my family and work some more on the HD....

If anyone feels like joining in let me know. The coffee is hot ;)

I couldn't make it, but a lot of fellow countrymen from the great Dutch Nozomi forum did. (yeah, yeah, I know that there is not much love for candy cabs here. It's a shame, but I must say that the guys on the 'opposite site' of the arcade scene are much more tolerant than most guys here  :-[ )

anyway, here is a link to some pics. Psykick and Pascal are on some of them.  http://forum.nozomi.nl/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3504&start=75
