I hope this isnt a prerequsite for going................. Laughing

Some of you are mighty fortunate living close to retro events, you are actually able to go to. These kinds of events are few and far between up here in Paradise, and rural isolation....... Crying or Very sad

It starts 1 day before my birthday !! Smile .. so thats one hell of a birthday present!.. Maybe we should all arrange to meet up on a particular day and go into the exhibition together !? ..

One thing is for certain though! If they don't have any C64's or Amiga's there, i will definitely NOT be happy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GGGGrrrrrrrrr...

Less Nintendo, MORE Commodore !!!.. Razz

I checked this out for a short time yesterday. It is great!!!! Be prepared to play! 170 machines + all set up and rearing to go. I had a free pass and was down Melbourne for a project meeting.

I will be heading back for a full attack in the upcoming weeks though.

Sadly no pics, they are not allowed. Although a sneaky person with a discreet mobile phone could do well Smile

Finally got to see the exhibition Tuesday. Had a cool time, the highlights for me were playing 'Star Wars Arcade cockpit', 'Tron stand up' and Missile Command. A few of the monitors/games were not in working order. There was a crazy Japanese game for Ps2 where you play as a train driver (it had a unique controller) all of the text was in Japanese.
