Yes, everything went fine, Ronald Reagan helped us unloading. 

See you in a couple of hours.

Ah then it was good I wasn't there so Ronald Reagan's hands were safe

Better late then never, the transport pics Breda - Rridderkerk :





notice the Atari warning sticker  





4 PC's and Crazy Kong delivered without damage  

Packed in bubblewrap and schrinkfoil at Level42's place and it went on transport in the truck from there.

Thanks guys, saves me a trip with the ultra safe wagon from last year, and now andre can sit normal next week when i pick him up

Big thumb up for all involved.....tomorrow we will be promoting RGE at http://www.dr-retro.com/beurs/

We will have my Centipede up and running for everyone to play and of course the neccesary promotional items.....

Erik, Pieter, see you there !

Spotted - nice cab. Too bad it was in the tent to the left.

Yes, a "dead end" is not the best spot to be in (not for sellers' either I'd think), and it was way too light for the monitor to produce a decent picture....on the other side, the artwork and it's colors, especially the sides looked awesome

We still talked to a lot of people and handed out lots of flyers.....

We also had some Murphey's law going on because the monitor didn't work when the Centi arrived there. There is a weird set of 4 big fat resistors on the edge of my G07 chassis. I checked other pictures and there is normally just a wire there so no idea why they are there....
Anyway, one soldering had broken loose. Quickly found and relatively quickly solved (McGyver style).

Lucky I had my tools with me

[level42]

Here some pics

Erik testing if I fixed the monitor properly....

[level42]

one more...



It was funny, some younger people (remarkably lots of girls, Centi still draws female players somehow ) had to be explained how to start a game.

However, this young daughter said "dad I want to play too, look, it's for two and pointed on the P2 button....however dad was already too far away back in his younger years.......

did you unwrap and transported from hilverum ? 

[ckong]

did you unwrap and transported from hilverum ? 

No, Pieter transported it to Deurne and there we unwrapped it. And we handed out hundreds of RGE flyers, so much that people got sick of it. 

We received plenty of possitive comments and lots of people already heard about the upcoming event through game sites, the advertising on digital billboards and of course the publicity on GeenStijl.

[gyruss]

So cool that you both were there. Andre saved the day with his superior technical skills and Erik was a great promoter (and you were right about the posters ). Thanks for putting in so much time and energy, the Eurocade after this one is going to feel like a walk in the park.

[level42]

Nothing superior about finding a broken of pack of huge resistors and fixing it

Operation Mortal Kombat has started

[Belike]

Woah, 5 buttons for a single game?

[Ronald Reagan]

this is such a good cab for Eurocade. A nineties classic and still really popular. 

[anunaki]

we're going to put it back together in a few minutes

it went very smooth and easy
