Eurocade..2013 !
« on: January 11, 2013, 07:35:56 PM »
Oh yes sir, it's back !

It's bigger......

It's better.......

It's meaner !!!!!!

It's .........

<<< EUROCADE 2013 >>>


Dates:

     14 AND 15 September 2013

Location: the capital of TV & Radio in The Netherlands: HILVERSUM

More SOON !!!!!



Location: "Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid" (The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision) - Hilversum

An absolutely unique location in The Netherlands, all history in film, video and audio recordings from the Dutch public broadcasting stations is archived there, deep under the ground for natural cooling.
There is also a great museum displaying Dutch TV and Radio history in all it's aspects.

Each year 250.000 people visit "Beeld & Geluid" !!

Eurocade will be an integral part of "The Retro Game Experience", which means that a lot of great things can be organized, things impossible to do at the "regular" location.








There are two "theater rooms", each fully equipped with analogue and digital projection equipment, which for sure will be used ! The ambient lighting in both are RGB LEDs so any kind of lighting can be chosen:





The Grand Café (Note the electronic symbols :) ):



During the last months (in fact, almost before Eurocade 2012 was ended....) Gyruss has been investing a LOT of time AND effort in getting this idea of the ground at this great place....so already now: a big THANKS to Pieter !!!!

Pieter, if I missed anything please add your info !

Also: there is still a lot of work to be done. We have a lot of ideas but of course everything still needs to be discussed and worked out.

So.....more info later :)

Great! ;D I'm hoping to come this year.
Can you estimate the opening and ending time? It would be nice to know when ordering plane tickets.

Yes guys, this one is going to be epic!!  ;D

As André said, Pieter has taken a big risk and has already put in a lot of effort trying to get something accomplished, with success.  :spaceace:

We already have a lot of ideas for this weekend, and there will be plenty of stuff to do and to see. It will be all about .....

No, don´t give away all the fun stuff already, Erik.  ;D

So, mark those dates in your agenda, you know that you just want to be there. And I know that you will regret it for ever if you weren´t there!

WOW! That place looks awesome! The Cavemans will be in of course and I will continue the running gag with bringing my video pinball because that will be working for sure by then. :D

To be honest....I really liked the family-like atmosphere of Eurocade and I doubt that it can be transported to such a huge location...but we will see and I will try to be there :)

For me it would be the first time to come.
I only have to convince my wife.
