Sounds like a really cool event... and nice selection of games.

A bit far for me and lots already on the January diary, but good luck with it....

The AEG event is on the 17th and that finishes at 6pm i think. This runs 3 sessions a day from 12pm to 9pm. That means there will be a session from 6pm till 9pm.
I'm up for making this the after party to the AEG on the 17th if anyone else wants to go.

Asked for info on how to get tickets between 6pm-9pm as they are not listed on the ticket page. Didn't get back to me.

Think im just going to do the after show drinks at AEG.

They changed the last offer to a 50% discount on selected days. That was after getting hundereds of people to share the event on social media the the promise of a 'special discount code'. Think i'll give it a miss.
Going to organise a trip up to Arcade Club with the family instead.JonTron2018-01-03 21:25:06

Popped along to this, this afternoon, was fun, I had a 3 hour slot, but was ready to go after an hour and half, I was getting quite a thirst on for a beer. I decided to go for the 3pm session, thinking it would be a bit quieter and I'd have more a chance to play on more without waiting (which was correct).

Funny I ended up playing most on Super Pacman, SI, Millipede and Outrun....all cabs I actually own.

All games looked to be hired from RGP, there was a nice selection of games consoles around the edge of the room. The other people in there seemed to be really enjoying themselves.

Cabs there were...

Pac-Man (was in a Puckman cab, Zaccaria?)
Donkey Kong (in a Jamma cab)
Space Invaders II

Super Pacman

Millipede (US upright)

Track and Field (in Electrocoin cab)

Sega Mega Play with 10 games
Joust (2-player)
Super Side Kicks (football) (2-player)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (4smaller 4 player version)
Out Run (Midi version, no sound)
T2 Judgement Day (screen very dark, so could not really see what you were shooting)
Indiana Jones
Robocop

Double Dragon (2-player) - was off /not working
Street Fighter 2 (2-player) - Hyper fighting, was stupidly fast to play.
After Burner
Daytona USA (no sound)

I gather they swap some games out to keep the line up fresh.
