I visited the expo yesterday and have mixed feelings. It was definately good that it was running but had expected to see more vendors too.

A couple of nice mame cabs but the egret(?) machines were a little boring and had hoped to see a lot more classic cabs. Seeing people on the dog walking arcade was fun an being able to buy beer was a definate improvement on the seaside arcades I spent my time in the north-east of England as a kid!

All in all worth it and hopefully it's the start of something.  Even if Northampton wasn't the most attractive place!

i went yesterday , thought it was really good , only downsides i had were a few cabs were not in great condition , pro gear 2P stick was knackered and Garou HK button not even working ?also some of the screens had bad burn and just wasnt set up right (to dark etc etc)

I thought there should of been more organization with the competions , i entered the SF4 tourney but didnt have a clue when i was ment to be playing ? also they should of had some free SF4 cabs so people not in the comps could play on the other end of the room or something as sometimes you couldnt even get close to SF4

Not bad... although I had expected more vendors.  Were there more rooms that I missed?

I was hoping to play:

Altered Beast, Defender, Stargate and a few others - not a big fighter game fan ! and well.... none of them were there even though the list said they would be...odd

Very disappointed with the lack of classic cabs, the whole even was very generic and I really had to question spending a £140 (excluding food and drink) to make the trip possible.

On the positive side, there was a few gun games and quirky if not bizarre things (dog game)... quite how you play that I'll never know.

I've take loadssss of piccy's on my new camera  ;D so will upload them somewhere for you guys  :)

PS sorry if this is you or someone you know.

PS also sorry if this offends, it just wasn't what i was expecting, however i still enjoyed it.
