Join us in playing games from the past, some you know, some you don't, some you might just hate the sight of and a few from my own private collection.

Staring different consoles from the ages and a few surprises that I think are worthy of your time.
The days that you can expect them to be out is as follows
Second Friday is very much a console only thing and will be upstairs
-Modded Xbox (Also LAN) - Dreamcast -Playstation - PS2 - Mega Drive -Snes - Master system - NES - Saturn - Atari 2600 - N64 - CD32 - Gamecube
It all will be pushed towards multi player, with LAN gaming happening.

Last Tuesday this will be more of the same but with some of the other machines out
-Modded Xbox (Also LAN) - Dreamcast -Playstation - PS2 - Mega Drive -Snes - Master system - NES - Saturn - Atari 2600 - N64 - CD32 -3DO - Commodore 64 - N64 - Intellivision - CD32 -ZX Spectrum - Spectrum +1 - CD-i - Atari ST - Atari 7800 - Pong - BBC - Gamecube
Tuesday as you can tell will have a few different consoles out and I will be opening it up to any programmers to demo there stuff.

(You can bring your own just make sure I know you are bringing them to avoid any mix up).
You can request a machine to be set out if you wish.

There is also a selection of classic arcade machines for you to play as well. These inculde the popular Turbo Pacman (Makes if fun), Paperboy, Donkey Kong, Paroduis, Bombjack, Indiana Jones and much more.

There is also for your own drinking pleasure a fine selection of cask ales, bottled beers, wines and a nice cup of tea or coffee for the designated driver.(Soft drinks also available).

There is also some pub grub if you feel the need to feed (The pies are great) there is a menu on the site and in the pub.

Its a fun way of giving some ones joystick a good waggle in public with out getting weird looks.

See you there
Mike Dix

(There are soft drinks available)
"Kick off" is at about 6ish till 11ish
You can bring your own consoles/games, but put in mind theres no HD tvs. It is best if you ask if you can bring it first

I've just noticed your sig Prinny, will a Wii Scart cable work on any of the earlier Nintendo consoles or be any use to you? I picked up an unofficial one for a quid in HMV a while back, it's still not out of the packaging, you can have that if it's any use to you.

Oh and I plan to attend, I've still got your Tron dvd to give back.

[DPrinny]

Thanks but no they changed the connection they have been using for years on the Wii

[Slick2097]

I hope to be there.

Ste.

[DPrinny]

Wonder if I can get this sticked?

[Slick2097]

Apparently not ...

Annnnnyway.
I am after a plug thingy for a Atari 2600
Poping into the Lass later to see these possibly "new" arcade thingys

[the_hawk]

I can defiantly bring along a plug thingy for an Atari 2600.

Plus a metricshitload of carts.

If you're after a 2600 plug for yourself, this'll do the job (it also doubles as a SNES power supply among other things)

That is exactly what I was going to bring along. Great bit of kit. . . just don't get angry at a router you have it plugged into for playing up, before realising you are feeding it 3v instead of 12v

[DPrinny]

Was looking for a cheap(er) one.
Games wont really be a problem as I will bring some good uns

He now has a track and field board in his pay cad, but will also be bringing a copy of Athlete kings
He now has a C64 and is looking into a flash card for it (just emailed someone about it)

[Smraedis]

I can make this again.
Could bring PS1 lightgun games if wanted?
