Arcade exposition in Amsterdam

[Psykick]

nice to see some classic games out in the wild again. this is going to be interesting to find out how much they get played in comparison to those plastic boxes cabs

Sega Aero City cabs are solid steel  Don't be such a hater  I dare you to lift one 

[Etienne MacGyver]

i did not say there where candies in that link, i sayd that when i see a candy i have this imagine in my brain
also i sayd i dont want to flame the candies, and it a matter of taste , it was not ment to be offending   just for a laugh

but to be clear, i will post a comparison here then you know what i mean:

-------->

see the resemblance ?         its the same pic, just a little different angle when they photographed them    

[Psykick]

Muahahaha yes I can see it now, I never saw it from that angle 
Anyway I'm also pulling your leg, but I like that, some good sarcastic degrading humor hehehe

Very likely I will be at the expo tomorrow afternoon/early evening (after work).
I'll have to bring (and fix...) Rob's Centipede trackball there ...

And some other stuff. I'll be working in 020 anyway so it's not too much of a problem

Good, then you can tell us if it is anything good and if it is worth going there.

Andre, can you do pictures of the iktag communication device integrated with the cabs ? thanks in advance

Was there late afternoon. Installed the Centipede trackball. Works fine.
The monitor was out of sync though, fixed that.

Played Vanguard (for the very first time on a real arcade version !) and have to admit I was a bit disappointed !!!!
Love the voice and the sound though...

Played Badlands for the first time to: great !

While I was there, the Ms.Pac Man died !!! It showed a flashing "BAD" on screen (maybe a bad ram or rom ?)

Anyway, by Rob's request I had brought along the Ms.Pac (converted to Super Ms.Pac, or something like that) board that I had lent from him so I installed that one instead.

So, this shows exactly why I don't want to put my machines up there.....although of course they may also die "at home"....

The HUGE Jet Rocket wasn't working (notice the line around it).

The IKTAG stuff wasn't working when I was there, did get a pic though. Entrance is 5 Euro.

There were a good number of people considering the time of day.

It was good to see my Centipede Hi-score is still on Rob's machine, let's see if someone can beat it

Just came across this article about the Expo in De Volkskrant:

The ones on the photo in the newspaper.

Gyruss, thanks for sharing.

[level42]

Oh....well.....uhm....I did see them.

[Ronald Reagan]

shame the photographer took a picture of only the face and hands of people playing, instead of a person playing a clear visible arcade cabinet, f.i. from the back.

I went yesterday with my brother. It was okay, i played a few cabs for the first time, which is always cool. Here are some more pictures.
