As I missed the arcade machines at R3PLAY I am also planning on going along. I will be travelling down late Friday Morning and back on Sunday Afternoon if anyone along the way wants a lift in my nice new car.
I'm gonna burn your house down. With a lemon.

Can't make any more events this year :(

Shame, I've gotten the bug now, and I still want to meet some of the people I missed at R£PLAY :)

Oops, only just getting back into the swing of things after Blackpool and it's now probably a bit late to add an entry for the Arcade Barn meet, what with it taking place today and that(!). Have fun everyone going - wish I could've made it ... :-/

I can't find a dedicated Arcade Barn (Nov 2010) thread so thought I'd stick the photos I took up here - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?id=51 ... =511771549

Smaller than I was expecting but still plenty of cabs and definitely worth going :)
Friday night was absolutely packed out, and it seems they raised a good sum for Children in Need.

My favourite cabs of the weekend have to be Marble Madness (that trackball takes some getting used to though!), Crystal Castles (never heard of it before, but it turned out to be really addictive), and of course Mr Do!

Some nice pictures there. 8)
Really look forward to going there in the future.
Crystal Castles was one of my favourites from BITD too. Had 834k then. Don't know how I'd do now though .....

Yeah, they have the mini version like yours (though not as minty-looking) which had Ms. Pac-Man running on the night...

Stay tuned as I may soon be announcing an event at the Arcade Barn for early next year! ;)
