I dont understand why they dont publish a game list yet, that is usually what makes people decide to come....

and it is pretty close already....

I could bring a game. I do have to see how I will feel around that time for such a long trip.

Nobody wants to go ?? I think I can _just_ make it there and back without having to get Diesel abroad so the trip is free.....
Only Hotel, Eurotunnel and submission costs....

Gyruss and I have just booked a Hotel and the trip there...

We have a 3 person room so......if there one person who changes his mind....

Ultra-low costs: 70 Euro for Hotel night incl. Breakfast AND the Eurotunnel crossing.....

Try and beat that...

Just found a list of last year's games:

Asteroids Deluxe
Atari Warlords cocktail
Bubbles
Defender
Dig Dug
Gorf
Bubble Bobble
Crazy Taxi
Flicky
Class of 81
Gyruss
House of the Dead
Joust
Killer Instinct
MAME cabinet
Pac-Man
Pacmania
R-Type
Rally-X
Robotron
Scud Racer twin
Smash TV
Star Gate
Time Pilot
Tutankham
Scramble
Star Wars Cockpit
Super Striker
Toobin
Virtua Fighter 3
Virtua Striker

Pretty impressive.  :) I thought it would be mostly pinball stuff, but there seems to be a good number of arcade games too.

André, I thought that you were bringing a cab to the UK, so there would only be place for two guys in your car. If not, and 3 will fit in, then I will gladly join you two.

I went to let years event and yeah, itys mainly pinball, but there were plenty of decent videos as listed above, a few of which were for sale! It was a great event, really got me into pinball, and it wasn't too busy either so it was easy to get on any machine you liked, ill definitely be going for both days this year!
