Well I emailed them through the website just last weekend asking them if they were interested in showing my DK bartop. I didn't expect much as it was late in the day to organise an exhibit. But they were very positive and want me to take it along. :cheers:
Are Nintendo known in the industry for being anti-emulation? Gotta say I wasn't aware of it if they are.

It was a good show. There was problems getting into the venue, as the organisers had more people to deal with, as we were queuing outside around the building well after the opening time. But it was a bright sunny (chilly) morning, but they got their act together and resolved it. Maybe next year (if we are lucky) they will fix that problem.
Inside they had la huge amount of console and home computers, candy cabs with a range of Jap Shooters, computer clubs and the Computer Museum. The Computer Museum had relics of the past, including a PDP. What was odd was the BBC computers included into this timeline. Made me feel old. :lol
A nice range of Pins. No Adams Family or Funhouse, but they had a cool Terminator 2 Pin.
Two great tombola for charity. We bagged quite a few PS3 and 360 games for 50p.
Craig was there with his Mame machines, and we had a working Star Wars Trilogy and SW Vector to play on.
All in all a good day.
Pictures to follow, if i can get them off my phone.. :banghead:

We had a great time at the show. We got there about 20 minutes after it started and we didn't have to queue at all, we must have caught it at the right time.
There was loads to do and I think it would have taken a couple more days to get round everything. I really enjoyed what I did get to play though. Its a shame a lot of the woodies ended up either not working or not set to freeplay but from what I could see all of the candies performed brilliantly.
Had a nice chat with Craig from Turnarcades and Andy(?) from Surface Tension, I must say both of your products looked great and they were very popular :)
All in all it was a great event and I hope it was the first of many. Who knows, I may actually take along something myself another year if I actually get something finished :D
