    And, just to refresh everyones memory, just keep this in mind
    Link to the Past
    And so it came to pass, as was spoken by the prophet Johnny U

    Lol, I forgot it used to be a theory but was made an actual rule thereafter :D Yeah, all looks good for this one anyway.

    I've thrown the invite out to the folks over on the Nintendo forum as well.
    We'll lock them in a room with the PS4 when they get here....

    So the 4th? It's been far too long since I've been at one of these things, and I can't pass up the opportunity to witness Myrddin at a beers the apocalypse.

    We should all watch This Is The End as a sort of a primer for the evening.
    That or Animal House....

    Shalln't be there alas, but sounds like it will be a grand old crowd. Certainly enough to perform some sort of pagan ritual to welcome the rapture with aplomb.

    So do you need us to bring along any controllers or arcade sticks? I might bring along Battle Kid if Retr0/anyone wants a go. I can bring some PCBs too if you want.

    I'll have to check the cab, I think the coin mesh I'd disconnected, will that make a difference?

    Sure bring along what you've got, I'd be wary of PCBs though, delicate as they are

    Will dig out a few games and bring them along.

    Sure I might bring along MH4U in case there's any like minded addicts there. :P

    Did anyone happen to find a loose copy of Retro Game Challenge after a beers?
    I'm hoping it's just somewhere in my room I haven't checked but it's not looking good after a second go, so putting it out there just incase anyone came across it and forgot about it.

    I have to do some cleaning, I'll check in the games room for it and let you know.
    Was it unboxed?

    False alarm everyone!
    I had a brainwave and I was right - I found it, was looking since January!
    As usual the minute I post about anything I figure it out myself.

    More of a Lurker here than an active contributor but I wouldn't mind attending if okay? I promise I'm not a nutter :) I've a collection of 600 or so games for the PS1 so could bring Klonoa, Tombi , Legacy of Kain or FIFA if you're so inclined. I've also pretty extensive NES, 3DO, Ngage ,Megadrive and Master System titles so can bring some pretty decent consoles/games and also some awesomely bad ones if needed.

    Ciderdude has pretty much everything so unless it's something truly awful or extremely rare then more than likely he has it...(check the pics of his attic).

    Also for the uninitiated, you may think we sit around playing awesome games and talking about how great they are but the centrepiece is usually some CDi fmv game or something even more horrifying so if you have an awful game.... Then I'll play it.

    Hey!
    Space Marines on the 3DO is pretty decent, the one with Genestealers.
    And I hope the floor upstairs can take the attendees, looks like a bumper crop.
