I'll be there with the usual car load with an odd mix of outfits!

I'm surprised people think the retro side of it is less than before. I was thinking the modern side was less than before.
First year we went Oculus was there with the HD Prototypes. Sony were showing off their new PS4 and Nintendo had a cool area showing their new releases.
Since then it's seemed more Indy and retro to me. But I enjoy it all the same.
Looking forward to trying the PSVR and hunting for dreamcast stuff.... and shooting rebel scum

That was the one I went to, I was walking around all day with a video camera.

I'll be there on the Sunday this year....the rest of the family is going to some circus thing I can't spell at the Trafford Centre on the same day, so bit of a no brainer for me.

I've been that busy with real world life stuff it looks like another event I'm going to have to miss... Family comes first obviously. People that are friends on fb will know why. Have a great time guys should still be at the vac arcade meet up though.

All Arcade Clubs cabs are our own apart from a few loaned from other people (less than 10)

James has his own very healthy stock of cabs for events - for instance he is supplying 120ish to play this year :) we also have a healthy working relationship with James - for instance we have loaned out some moving cabs like Afterburner and power drift to him - and they will be at Play Expo to be enjoyed and he in turn loans us some machines - so don't worry enjoy the games! :D

just to clear that up...

Had a great time at play again this year hi to James and Shaun again was nice to have a quick chat with you both as well as mypinballs. thanks for the supreme effort to fill the place with cabs.

I agree not as many traders but its probably expensive to get a pitch, more smaller independents would be good and more computer games rather than expensive carts for consoles :)

Only thing I wasn't keen on was the food... pretty yucky tbh.

Will probably go again but might seek out the smaller meets where I can chat to collectors, looking forward to arcade club coming up soon!
