That's a great line up. Can't wait to try the Star Wars (even though I'm not that great at it) but MK2 has name all over it, been practicing my moves recently. I can feel the buzz already.

I notice that there are 5 spare JAMMA cabinets. Are these for swapping boards? Does anyone bring over boards? I can bring some boards over for the cabinets, that are rareish.

Just imagine if both forums joined forces in the future. UK Funspot at the Expo 2014. Now that would be a gaming spectacle.

This is going to be one epic show, with 900sq Metres of Pinball and Classic Arcade machines all on free play as usual, along with some live play from two of the Worlds best arcade game players.

What a great way for ALL members of the arcade scene to come together to play video games from the last 40 years.

you sound like Martin Luther King - 'I have a dream...'

Difference is, its not going to happen, apartheid is alive and well in the arcade-collecting scene, it is a shame but there are too many egos involved for there to be a 'hug and make up' session..

Personally i think we all have enough in common to get on but what do i know, i am not involved in all the b0lloxy stuff that goes on between forums...

I think you've hit the nail on the head here. Just takes 1 or 2 egos to ruin things for everybody

No egos here, just plenty of beer and good crack with peeps I get to see one time per year. Shame my Mrs is going, going to keep me semi-sensible on the Saturday / Sunday.

Dave, I'm bringing some additional sack trucks this year, so they'll be a spare one for the other arm, thus making things a little more stable.

I believe cabs will be 'locked down' during the event. It will be far too busy to swap boards.

Never been to any arcade meetings before, so didn't know what to expect. I've been collecting for 12 years

and never been to an event, never even knew they existed TBH.

Blaming the Glenmorangie that JB kindly donated (after he won it in the J+ raffle the month previous). It is probably the best of the easily available, mass market single malts.

@ Johnhughes - expect lots of beer, games and pinball. Not forgetting our very own John Bud, the legend that is the arcade scene of yesteryear.

This thread has got nothing to do with politics and egos
So lets not bring it up .
it's the same old rhetoric other wise .

I dearly hope all of you can come to replay it's going to be great fun
Leave your woes behind just for a weekend please I am sure all of you can manage that.
We are men right ?
If you don't like someone then don't talk to them it's that simple it shouldn't even have to be explained or even mentioned

Let's have a laugh a beer and chat about all things arcade
