Never heard of it I have to say!
Having said that, I'm very much coming to the conclusion that outside of arcade video games (and pinballs) I'm really not into retro gaming at all. I can honestly say I've had my fill of that little tw*t Mario and his associated (S)NES, Nintedoo Planet 64 stuff (not to mention all the street fighter stuff they're touting!) and that actually, I'm really very, very into the here and now of video gaming, with it's MMO's, Guilds and all the power computing and super high res textures, graphics and 3D sound that goes with it
Ho hum. Sorry, lost it there for a moment
It just feels a bit like we've gone from total neglect, no events at all on retro stuff to event overload.
[EDIT] PS: It's also another one that's a very long way for me. May as well be way up North for the amount of time it would take me to get there! So, no will be giving it a miss

The Replay guys are involved in the show, or at least they are being paid to supply the cabs and consoles and were promoting it at Replay 2011, but not seen anything else anywhere.
Not heard much of this one either, might be interesting depending on what arcade games are there. I think I'm in agreement with Mr Guddler in that I'm only into old arcade games really; few people have time/money/space to own all of the classics and keep them running, but I could probably buy nearly every old computer, console and game for a few thousand and stuff them in the loft... while I have some old computers/consoles kicking around I don't see them as rare or special enough to hold a show for at this point, not even my dads Dragon 32
BTW, Mr Deliveryman, do you think you might be picking this Space Harrier up soon before if fossilises?
