Post by: rchadd on May 09, 2005, 02:21:28 pm

Great news for all UK BYOAC members

just seen on http://www.retrokade.com that they have new premises and should be opening again sometime in June.

I can't wait to go and play all those classic arcade machines

Sounds like a good idea to me. There seem to be enough of us on here to make it worthwhile.

I think the retrokade guy is a BYOAC member here under the name "Ravage"

I will pm him to ask him to advise on his plans to open and chances of a BYOAC meet

Both Retrokade AND Archer MacLean  will be bringing some machines to the Classic Gaming Expo UK - PLUS Twin Galaxies are challenging us Brits (and Europeans) to some high score challenges...

The whole thing takes place on August 13th - www.cgeuk.com (http://www.cgeuk.com)

Basically I'm MORE than happy to give you guys an outing, but elt me finalise some stuff first and tell you more on this thread in a few days.

Glad you guys want to support RKD - and yeah, we'll be at CGE too :)

Regards
Rav

Actually, if anyones guru with 3d walkthrus, or cools tuff for the site, any help is most appreciated!
