Just wanted to say a big thanks guys, had a great day on Saturday!
Unfortunately Quantum had already died by the time I arrived - have never seen one before,
but got to play Tron for the first time in decades.

The virtuality thingy was good fun too - have only ever seen one of those in the wild, in the Trocadero centre about 20 years ago!

Oh yeah, and I continue to really suck at Defender. Mind you, I suck at most games...

Had an absolutely fantastic time this weekend. Big thanks to everyone especially Rav, Oll and Phil. It was great to see everyone.

I sucked big time on the speed race. I didn't manage to get on the high score table all weekend. I managed to hold the field goal high score on Saturday but was soon defeated on Sunday morning.

Looking forward to the next one.

Minus points there though for leaving the venue screaming Jamma+ rules at the top of their lungs

You had that field goal high score for 2 playable hours Ade! Great challenger though.backflipper2013-05-19 23:52:35

That's a tough license of Monaco GP that one. On MGP, when you reach extended time you go to sudden death with one life, but if you can carry on even further U earn 1 life every 2k points. Speed Race doesn't do that though, it's just the flat timer. Never got far enough to suss if you could earn a second lot of extended time. Did anyone? It's always amazing to see how much attention that game gets. Now the warmer weather is here will have to have another go at getting the MGP fixed after all these years!

Thought it was (and good to see ya again!). It nearly didn't get played at all though. Had to rewire the credit switch as it wasn't doing anything. Didn't have time to mess about so unsoldered the wires from the coin switch and moved them to the credit switch instead. Did the trick ;)

Here are some pics I took on Sunday when it first opened.

I had a great weekend, it was nice to meet a few guys in person at last that I've spent years chatting to online. Well done to everyone involved in putting it together, I look forward to the next one!
