« on: August 12, 2011, 11:02:22 PM »
22 days to go....

Yeah i know, but someone had to start the thread!  :D

Really looking forward to meet my "old" friends, and certainly meet some new ones!!!!!! - imagine a whole day only talking about arcade....
Totally Win - Win!....
To get in the arcade spirit, i bid on some items...., and played a bit of Puzzle Bubble... - completed the game in one Credit! (First time! but 16 years to late to win a T-Shirt....)

Hey....I'm pretty nervous already ;)

Seriously looking forward to it !

Maybe one thing we didn't discuss (enough) but I would LOVE to make a group-picture like the one that was made in front of TwinGalaxies in the 80's for Life magazine.

Hope we can make some (short) time for that (AND drag everyone outside (plus a couple of cabs) ;) ;).

Very proud that all of you guys are willing to come all the way from all over Europe. It will be a blast I'm sure !

Here's the pic for those who don't know/remember:



We have 3 of the cabs on this picture at Eurocade (Ms.Pac, Centi and DK).. I think a SW cockpit would be cool to replace the Tempest (also Atari, also color vector ;))
What to use instead of Defender ? Maybe Joust ? (Also Williams) And what about Tutankham ??
Not sure which cabs they used for the "repro" shot in KoK ?

There's one tiny detail....no idea where to get chearleaders  ;D ;D ;D

I have just bought 2 nice T-Shirts, and as i'm only going to wear on of them, i thought about auction the other one of at EuroCade and donate the money. The shirt is medium size, and cool!.
Andre i send you a picture of it...

The shirt is revealed at EuroCade
