unfortunately i cannot bring my CK due to transport reasons, but....

Its kind of a tradition now, that i make the official arcade themed Piggybank for Eurocade.

This year i will ofcourse do that again ;)

(in fact i have secretly been working on it the last few weekends, and right now its about 75% done  ;D :P 8)

Yey, plane tickets booked! No turning back now. :)

Any chance of a Juno First cab being there? Or a Galaga?

As for competitions, a DK competition would be fun.

I can only say its heavy...

Look at the last pic what it did to the cart we used..   :o






Those two guys really took an effort, bringing that huge and heavy bike to Eurocade 2012. They should be special guests for the 2015 edition.

Friends about the meeting: Etienne showed the piggy bank that he made for the donations this year and..........what can I say.........this is going to AMAZE you guys in every possible way !!!!!!

We all LOVE it ! :):).........but we keep it a surprise until the event !

Further.....response has been a bit slow this year.....we are seriously going to need more people and more machines to make it a fun and interesting Eurocade. Remember that unlike the last two years we are not going to drive around the country to pick up machines (and deliver back).....so.....come on people it's YOUR party you guys make or brake it :)

There is plenty room for more cabs and people !


Ok we have discussed our budget and estimated costs etc. and have settled on an entry fee of €15 per person.
This _will_ include lunch (rolls with cheese, ham, kroket, frikandel) etc., some crisps etc and the traditional Chinese/Indonesian meal at 18.00 hrs.

We have found a new and better place where we will order the food  ;D

NOT included this year are the drinks though because the club rules have changed and so,everyone can simply order drinks at the bar. Prices are moderate, f.i. €1,20 for a beer, €1,00 for a soft drink  etc.
You can pay cash but we now also accept debit and credit cards  and highly prefer this !!!

Also.....the rent price for the clubhouse has gone up quite a bit. This is due to the fact that laws have changed here and we can rent out the building only 6 times per year, so the club needs to make it a bit more profitable for each time they do.This also explains why we can't lower the entry fee any more....

Further, there will again be a little Competiton with a certain game this year.

We will update the list of games soon with the machines that the crew members will provide !

Looking forward to Eurocade 2015 :)


What games would you want us to bring this year? You know what we have so just pick the two you would want to see and play.


What music are you planning to run in the gameroom? I 're-designed' the jukebox...it is now a notebook with a regular touch monitor and can simply be hooked to an amplifier with attached speakers. I could bring it so the playlist could change over the evening ;)

Just a question, of course, won't be angry if you don't want it. Discuss and let me know :)

Actually, i am in charge of that task, so if you can bring that laptop (or at least an image, so i have a fully configured machine myself  8) ) that would save me some work.

Ofcourse i still need to make it happen to have it in both rooms (which is no problem) but to have the source ready to go will be perfect !

(i will bring myself some too just in case  ;) )

Looking forward to Eurocade 2015 :)

guys... I am terribly sorry to tell you that I can not join you on this Eurocade although I told you that I would come. :(

I wish I could change this... but there are things here that I have to take care of before and after the event takes place.

I know that this is not what you wanted to hear. Trust me... I wish I could change this but I don´t really have a choice.

Looking for Dragons Lair 1 or 2, Space Ace, Double Dragon, Robotron and yeah... a Shinobi would be cool, too!
