We got a whole range of somewhat similar pictures, but it seems no-one liked it.....

Yesterday I visited the famous travelling exposition Game On again (2.0 version this time) in Stockholm, and off course it is fun, but it made me realise how fantastic our Hilversum event was. It is no compare! They state it as the biggest game exposition or something like that, but it is nowhere close to what we did. We should realise that with some personal effort we manage to deliver a greater show than a multi-year running UK royal family sponsored 300000 ticket/event selling show!

Congrats to all!

I think key values to our show are:
- Massively cool arcade. At least twice as much machines in a very nice ambiance!
- Lots of fans to TALK with
- All original consoles running on TV's.
- Some shopping
- The Theater program to add extra depth.
- And so the ability to entertain almost a whole day instead of one hour with total awesomeness!

Wow, that is about the biggest compliment we can get , thanks !!!!

However.......................









Next year will be better.

Much better, especially for the Eurocade/DLF crowd

I visited GameOn in 2008 in London. Was nice, but most of the stuff was defective or missing.

Here's a video about part 2:

Seems they upgraded a bit.

@Blanka: Is the Stockhol event similiar to the video? if so - I go again to Sweden.

Otherwise you may want to visit the ZKM in Karlsruhe (and later the day retrogames e.V.) - there's currently an exhibition of PLAY in Germany:

It is the same as in the video. Funny they say it is in Ontario City as it was in Toronto (provice of Ontario).

As far as I saw all was working except one arcade, which is a good score.
With the handhelds you can tell the organisation is from the UK, mainly Grandstand games.

I personally liked the Brussels 1.0 one better, but that was because they co-operated with some Belgian schools and game networks to showcase locally produced games. Some of the nicest things I saw were Belgium projects like The Path. Also the cellars gave a nice atmosphere.

Oops, rooky mistake there:

Arcades are buildings in which large video and pinball and EM and redemption games are set-up for play.
Cabs, videogames, arcade games, machines are those machines inside an arcade.

Jeez....

I just went through about all the pages in this thread again, browsing the pictures of 2013......I must say this totally boosts my energy levels for 2014 !!! 

One thing is certain:



Pieter will look a LOT fatter this year
