    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....

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Well hopefully there'll be some decent games on display! Not sure I fancy a 200km round trip just to watch CDi muck! :pac:

    Space Pirates is an FMV shooter starring an ensemble of actors who look like they were picked up from the street, the controls don't work in any way that's logical, and the shot detection must have been done by an especially inept intern... it's pure cheese and all the better for it.

    @Cidey - On the assumption you own a PSP of some sort - would you mind if I tested a few games on it at the beers please? I got some Monster Hunter UMDs recently but don't own the handheld just yet so I've no idea if the disks are ok. (I threw up a wanted ad in the marketplace so might get sorted before then.)

    He had a PSP, but afaik sold it on a while back. Apparently now he's on the lookout himself for another one, which he then plans on trading on.

    No problem, I can lend it to you for a month or two if you like as well.

    Fair play to you thanks. I got sorted anyway, the impatient git in me went down to the local Gamestop and got one, happy days. Dinky little unit it is. Might actually try pick up a few cheap games for it other than the Monster Hunter ones.

    I will say this dude, the laser in the PSP is dreadful, & up there with the PS1/PS2. Installing cfw will allow you to dump your own games, & play them from the memory card. At least you'll prolong the life of the laser, & benefit from faster loading times too. It's extremely easy to do on the PSP too, just something to consider :)

    Yeah, and its not like I have every European and US release PSP game dumped on an external hard drive. Which if I did, would be handy for you as I only live around the corner.
