North East Retro Gaming 2014

To be held for its second year on July 5th and 6th at Gateshead international stadium, there should be over 40 pinball and videos there along with retro console and computer games, last year was fantastic. This year I'm taking 3 pinball machines of my own to show my appreciation and to give something back.

Anyone from here going or thinking about going?

How much does it cost to get in? It's only a short walk from where I live so might pop over.

Out of the 6 of my mates who are big on gaming most would probably go to this so might be worth looking into. 4 of us live up in Northumberland which is close enoguh and 2 live in Gateshead already so could be a laugh and then head into town for some drinks too as we rarely get down there.

£25 for the weekend or £15 each day

All machines are on freeplay obviously...

Interesting.

They will have an Atari Falcon030 in attendance, I've emailed them to see if it's sourced locally and what it will be displaying.

Ultra rare.

This is infinitely more awesome than some computer fair

I just spoke to Phil, he didn't receive your email, he even checked his spam folder, But the Atari Falcon030 will have a variety of games as with all the consoles on display. Last year each console had a folder of discs or a megacart style system so you could pick what you wanted to play.

Thanks for that Pike.

I just used the Web page form that sends a message, odd it never got through.

Bit of a Falcon nut so wondering what will be on show...hopefully it's not going to be ST games.

Last year's was good. I wish i had more time to play on the matrix table.
