This trophy is for the Atari Steeplechase UKVAC Grand National.
This is now the oldest game I have in the arcade at 51 years old. Was playing well yesterday but today after being on for a couple of hours seems to have a sync fault. It's always been temperamental but we will see if it any better tomorrow. 🤞

S'OK, someone can bring a Derby Ownera Club cart instead, right? 😉

Hi Jon,
apologies if you've already answered this, but is there on-site parking available?

Hi Shaun. Yes there is a car park on site. It's a small industrial estate and most of the other businesses are closed at the weekend. There is 2 gyms but most of their customer cars are gone by 11-11:30am.
I'm going to do a post later with all the details/maps etc.

[Jon-A-Tron]

Just wanted to make it clear that we don't have Final Furlong at Pixel Busters. Before the memes overtake the thread.

[Copperband]

I’m after a Japanese Megadrive or US Genesis on the off chance that anyone might have one for sale and like to bring along tomorrow to make a deal. Alternatively, a converted Pal machine could an be an option.
