Hi!
Maybe some of you guys already recognized that we founded an Arcade League in Germany ...The idea is to revive the spirit of yesterdays gaming. We all remember the days were homework was done fast to have time to go to the icecream aparlor (like it was in our town) or the arcade hall to meet the other kids and watch the older guys play. The competition was there! Who will be the next highscore holder and will me money be enough to do the attemps I need to master Level 3 ...
It was time to get that competition back!! First we tried the "online score, offline gaming" variant in one of our german forums. There was a game announced every week or two, you play it at home and submit your highscore to the forum. Not that exciting ...
NOW, after a lot of discussion, we founded the Arcade League. We MEET once a month or so to play against each other. We organized to get four (!) regional leagues running, with four to six members each. Every member has to have at least one cab. Emulation, generic machine or dedicated doesn't matter. On every gaming day, three games are played (the host decides which ones), every attendand gets three coins per game. The best men (or woman, because Mrs. Caveman is also attending!
) that are the champions of their own region compete in the national finals against each other. That will be at the end of this year or maybe the beginning of 2013.
So .. what do you think, you guys interested in doing some regional chapters all over europe?? Would be awsome to get some multinational event maybe in one or two years ... finals could be at the next Eurocade!
C'mon. Let's spread this all over the world!!
