Trying to locate video game place in Netherlands?

[d-type]

Hi Guys, a couple of years ago, there was some guy in Europe on this forum who was trying to organise an event at a place with a bunch of video games run by collectors. I think it was in the Netherlands, but it might have been Belgium, or even France.

I seem to think it was about the time of one of the Slams, so that would probably be 2012, but could be 2011 I guess.

I've had a quick hunt around the forum, but I can't find any info.

Can anyone remind me of their website and perhaps who the forum member was?

Thanks,
D-T

There's a place over there as well with about 30 or 40 pinballs and the odd video game inside an indoor carting track. Was having a debate with the Mrs as to whether it was Holland or Belgium only the other day and we're pretty sure it's somewhere in Belgium as we stopped off with Marco on our way back from one of the Holland trips we did. But yeah, flipping' useless, can't remember what it was called. I do have pictures somewhere though

You know I thought it was, but that Eurocade looks like a show, what I'm looking for is a permanent collections of collectors machines.

May be it was those guys, but I distinctly remember a website with their machines and the had 20 or 30 of them in a unit somewhere, at the time it definitely wasn't a show.

You're probably thinking of Silverstone in The Netherlands, the DPO was there in 2006, I was a participant. Sadly, not that place either.

Damn it's a annoying when you know somewhere existed on the web, but you can't find it.

Thanks for your thoughts, guys.

Dragonslairfans Is probably the best plwce to as this question. Hell either the owner or organiser of said place probably is a member on there / here.

ps - I guess the links were Eurocade ?

Yep, that was the place I was thinking of. And that answers whether it was in NL or BE. Any idea if it's still there? Not that I can see me going there again, but always nice to know

There's a coffee shop in the 'Dam with 6 pins - The Spirit I think.

Mainly for locals, but we were welcomed as pin enthusiasts.

I'm a regular user at Dragonslairfans but I have never heard or read about such a place...a permanent collection run by collectors.

You might want to contact Level42. He's from the Netherlands, if someone knows of such a place, he's the man

Thanks for the tip...sadly the trail has gone a little cold now, but it might pick up again later this year!

Silverstone has only a few games left.
