The Eurocade team have teamed up with the people of "Beeld & Geluid", or "Sound & Vision" to create a Retro Game Experience that Europe hasn't seen before !

It captures the history of the video game in all it’s aspects.

The location will be the wonderful “Sound & Vision” building.

On various levels in the building, visitors can enjoy, play and learn all about all kinds of videogames from the 70s, 80s and 90s.


[*]Step back in time into a full-sized retro Arcade with 50 ready to play classic cabinets !

[*]dive into a large selection of consoles that vary from the Magnavox Odyssey to the Sega Saturn and homecomputers that go from the Commodore 64 up to the first PCs and everything in between !

[*]The King of Kong - the cult hit movie !

[*]The Video Craze - documentary about collectors of classic arcade videogames

[*]compilation of video game related TV footage from the archives of Sound & Vision

[*]take part in a quiz, listen to speakers and a discussion panel (in Dutch) !

[*]and more we're still working on !

Everything will be set up in a professional way to make this a real “experience”

There will be all kinds of decoration to warp you back in time and enhance the retro feeling !

>>>HAVE A LOOK AT OUR COMPLETELY REVAMPED WEBSITE FOR ALL INFORMATION !!! <<<

Would be really cool to have some of you UK guys around...

The location is about 20 minutes from Amsterdam if you always wanted to visit that city

 

[Level42]

This is getting really close now and we have WAY too few UK guys coming over.....

Take a look at the gamelist people:

Bump.....only a 'few' hours to go

How many UK-folks will be there?

 

[Level42]

None :-(

 

[Alpha1]

I honestly would love to - but I just can't at the moment - I literally hardly manage to go to any uk stuff at the moment.

When Max is older I plan on coming, as they I can easily bring him along.

Awesome selection of cabs!! I also really like the lighting, 80's music in the background and the artwork used. Who was responsible for that?

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Looks like it was a great show guys

 

[Urgentemente]

Looks great, love those wall & ceiling tiles

 

[Level42]

Thanks for the nice words guys. I was extremely proud of the list of games.

The building, and especially the "arcade hall" seemed to be MADE for the event !

The lighting and "tiles" are standard in this room, you can play with the set-up of the lights. You can choose one even color or let it run in colors (but that went too fast IMHO and people already have plenty visual impulses from the games so I chose to fix it multi-color like this.

The Retro Game Experience and the Eurocade logo have both been designed by ChrisChris from Belgium. (he's a collector too and you can find him on the arcadelifestyle.net forum....)

The rest of the designs (of the banners) was done by the people at "Beeld & Geluid" (Sound & Vision).
