How many is going? Not everyone is on the group chat I bought stuff to do a lucky dip if anyone wants to add stuff.
Since there was no secret Santa I thought it would be nice.
If anyone is definitely goimg let me know, no point bringing it all if I won't need it.

CiDeRmAn

I'll most likely be going, otherwise I'll be in my mams house, just down the road, I'll be hiding, with my Sega Nomad, in the coal shed....

Enjoy your night ladies and gents, intrigued to go and be part of the retro gaming scene but family life has put an end to personal enjoyment and rare outings, the snes mini is on the menu I guess, recently opened mine and getting stuck into it. No rise of the robots, that's a must.

Shapey Fiend

Think I'll regift a bottle of Jameson (got a few) if that's retro appropriate. Driving up from Clare in the afternoon if anybody on the M7 route wants to tag along.

I won't be making it unfortunately, it's a bit far for me and I have nobody to mind the dog tonight.
Rest assured though, I'll have a can of Dutch gold in all of your honour later this evening

Sparks43

The once a year bath festival has just been completed in the sparks den.

Now to head to our chariot for the long trip to the Cider Pole.

DinoRex

Might be close to 9 when we get there.

Stoner

Good night thank you very much to the host, very well organized.
Enjoyed the not so retro megadrive session

CiDeRmAn

Big thanks to everyone for coming along and making the by now traditional Xmas Beers a wonderful evening.

Despite now having to drag myself off to work, it was worth it!

Dinorex's new old Megadrive game was very impressive!

But it was the company and the chat that made it, with regular attendees and new faces too.

So thanks again, I hope everyone got to where they had to go and Happy Christmas/Saturnalia/Holidays!

No twerking, so it was automatically a lesser Xmas Beers to other Xmas Beers

Thanks for having us all over again, hope everyone liked their lucky dip lol.

Surprisingly few games played, a spot of Gradius II and Rockman 3 on the Famicom as well as Super Mario Bros 2 on the Famicom Twin.
But special mention to the game Dinorex brought, for the Megadrive.

Shapey Fiend

Had a wonderful time thanks again Ciderman and family. Great chats with everybody else too. Left with renewed resolve to get myself a Famicom Twin. So cool to see so see all those games and hardware in the flesh I'm looking forward to next year so I can have another look!

Sparks43

A very belated thank you to all for a wonderful evening.

For us it now goes beyond gaming,its just meeting up with friends we care for deeply.

Happy Xmas/holidays to all.

2018 will be the year of happiness and hope

Sparks and a very happy littlemssparks

DinoRex

Seems to be just me and CiDeRmAn hosting these days, so I guess it's my turn.

Who is up for as meet up in at mine at some point in March?

I've got some pretty sweet 8-micros now.

CiDeRmAn

Sounds good.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Someday...

Yeah I'd be up for except for the weekend of the 23rd I'll be in Cork for Kaizokucon

BGOllie

been thinking about this for a while:

Hypothetically, if I picked a warm summer day (I said hypothetically!), setup a space with a few MSX 1,2,2+ , maybe a few more computers like the atari600xl, an amiga and c64 right beside the arcade room ... and had a bbq running, who'd be interested ?

I'm in Kinvara, Galway but there's a biiig, dry & comfy, gym shed and some more space too for sleeping arrangements

Man I would certainly be game! Is there a bus service that runs to Kinvara?

If not would it be much to get a cab from galway?

For a moment there I read 'cab' as arcade machine, was going to commend your commitment in bringing a machine along

I'd be up for this too, A&R camping?

The Last Bandit

Could be a mighty session Summer time presumably ?

CiDeRmAn

I'd be up for that for sure.
