A load of retro consoles, computers and coin-ops!
It's in Blackpool, but from what I can see it's far enough away from the hen/stag/chav-infested parts for that not to be a worry...

If you click the RetroGamer TV link at the top of the page, you will see my best mate Daz in all his errr glory. I did once get him to buy a decent spec gaming PC but he slinked back to his consoles

Won't be going...might go and grab a few consoles from upstairs to join in the fun though...

They also have some great guys on their forums selling brilliant Retro games and consoles.
Someone picked up a mint boxed SNES (Special Edition too) for £30 delivered on there, on eBay they are well over £60, sometimes go up to £90 - And I haven't seen a mint one for a long time on eBay.
I picked up a near mint NES boxed with 4 games for £20 delivered on GRCade also (Pacman!), another brilliant Retro forum.
If anyone likes Amiga, some guy is selling boxed Amiga games for £1 each atm.
Amigads. Can't believe there's a con for retro gaming. Must.. go.. *looks in wallet and sighs*
To relive the old Wonder Boy and Cabal days.. ahhh...
Damn would love to, but.... Blackpool?![]()
I think I'll ask my Brother if he wants to go...might be nostalgic fun..brings back memories of going to all those old computer fairs back in the day (you know, when they actually had new games for sale at the events)... recall meeting The Codemaster Darling Twins just as they were getting going too.
This one's in Surrey in July:

I had great fun at the "Game-on" exhibition at the Barbican some time ago, still loved playing tron and Missile command.
