Title: Eurocade 2013
Post by: Sjaak on September 20, 2013, 06:03:40 am

Last weekend I was at an event called Retro Game Experience. It's an event organized by some of the people from http://www.dragonslairfans.com/. (http://www.dragonslairfans.com/.) All the cabinets and consoles at the event were from private collectors all over Europe.

Here's some pictures of the event.

That looked like a lot of fun.  I've never seen a Space War in person. 

A couple of those cabs must be European models.  I would love to have that Frogger and Asteroids.  They are like something from an alternate dimension.

Awesome!  Love seeing some of the Euro cabinets.  That bootleg Frogger was especially cool.

I love how the dad in the lower left hand corner is totally hoarding the NES so his son can't play.  Thanks Dad.   :lol

Thanks for sharing! Really good stuff.

I never really spent any time "studying" the overall design and layout of various cabinets and control boards until I came here ....
