Have you seen this new place opening in town.
I for one wish nick and the guys the best of luck.
Also I've backed their kickstarter.
I sold them my roadshow last year.

Tokendublin.ie

DinoRex · 23-03-2017 1:13pm

Yep. Looks good. Way bigger than I was expecting. I've backed as well.

No Dinorex cab on the list though!

MisterKipling · 23-03-2017 1:13pm

I also backed the kickstarter and love what these guys are bringing to Dublin which is long overdue...

23-03-2017 1:15pm

Might try and get this year's pinball finals held here.
Nick was keen on the idea last time we spoke.

Optimus Prime · 23-03-2017 1:36pm

Looks great, some great games on there, they bought my old MK2 and the Tetris cab i made. some line up of games and pins!

BGOllie · 23-03-2017 1:37pm

would great to have a proper arcade in Ireland... might even get me back visiting dublin (banjo girl fiona will be delighted)

23-03-2017 1:39pm

I guess there is no chance now that the boards.ie A&R beers night would be welcomed now.

I hope you're joking, I'd also hope they're not that childish if you're not. Great support for them here so far and on Facebook too.

I think a Time Crisis 1 would go well next to Time Crisis 2.. ahem..

BGOllie · 23-03-2017 2:21pm

I just copied an pasted but yeah.

... someone's got a touch of retro ocd

Optimus Prime · 23-03-2017 2:25pm

Im just trying to sell mine haha

BGOllie · 23-03-2017 2:26pm

ooh I get what you meant now . thought I'd missed TC1 in the list

CiDeRmAn · 23-03-2017 2:27pm

Ok,
The issue around the advertising wasn't an Arcade and Retro issue, it is a Boards matter, and policy on advertising things on the various threads and forums.
I suppose the risk, if it was a "thing", is that forums would be swamped with people looking for publicity for any number of things, like a certain Gamecon recently, and if it turns out to be a turd the brand of Boards is damaged as a result, mostly through the reduced quality of the experience of the users of these forums.

I think there is any number of A&R regulars who would love to have a party night in the location, as described, and I'd hate to think that a mix up with the Boards.ie advertising policy will affect that.

We could possibly make some sort of regular contact with the manager of the establishment for booking it, if it's necessary, simply as a large group.

I don't think an association with Boards is going to make us persona non grata with the management of Token... unless things really escalate in the coming hours/days!

DinoRex · 23-03-2017 2:33pm

Ah. Don't think there's any real issue. The prison thread seems amicable.

It's bad form to just post up stuff like that without clearing it with a mod first, but they're doing a big blitz on social media this morning and it's easy to make mistakes.

You've hit the nail on the head, oh wise and venerable Dinorex....

23-03-2017 3:00pm

Forget about it now,
lets move on to how class this place is going to be.
I think they have a load more pins than they have listed.
AFAIK they are all original hardware too.
Very cool

chatted with the guy and he totally understands. A&R welcome there

DinoRex · 23-03-2017 3:11pm

I'm looking forward to having an awkward photo of myself on display at the entrance.

CiDeRmAn · 23-03-2017 3:32pm

Won't that be a "Do not let this drunk b@stard in" notice?

DinoRex · 23-03-2017 4:08pm

CathalDublin · 23-03-2017 4:45pm

Can't wait, ring in sick to work and spend the day in there

A lift costs €35,000 daaaamn.
Gonna be a tough ask to get that in 30 days.

CathalDublin · 23-03-2017 9:01pm

They don't need the lift to open, they opening either way in May

Jack burton · 23-03-2017 9:04pm

Can't wait for this now, I got the guys there a few pinball parts last year so looking forward to a few games now

The Last Bandit · 23-03-2017 9:31pm

Its pretty close to where I work so do plan on spending plenty of time & money there but that kickstarter ? wtf ?

Andrew76 · 23-03-2017 10:09pm

Just hearing about this now, fingers crossed it turns out to be a great success for them.

It's definitely more appealing to me than something like GamerCon (even if that had of been organised properly), a nice cosy venue with noisy arcade cabs. Sounds great! Shame about the pins but I guess they need to be inclusive to those folks. :P :P

On a serious note though, get Aliens and Raiden in and I'll be a regular. Just get used to seeing AND at the top of the high score table though. :cool:

CiDeRmAn · 24-03-2017 10:33am

I didn't realise this was a RAGE effort.
Good luck to them.

safetyboy · 24-03-2017 10:35am

Fair play to Nick, this is gonna be great.

o1s1n · 24-03-2017 11:01am

Stroll across town from my place, I think I'll be living there :pac:

Wonder would they ever let us maybe bring a few PCBs?

o1s1n · 24-03-2017 12:13pm

Anyone know how the payment is going to work for this by the way?

The Last Bandit · 24-03-2017 1:06pm

You buy tokens I guess ?

I'm going to head into opening night to see how long it takes me to get a lifetime ban with this:

Dr Bob · 24-03-2017 2:34pm

Its a pity about the advertising snafu but rules are rules.on an unrelated note
If one were to google smithfield , token, arcade they might find out some interesting info.

DinoRex · 24-03-2017 2:49pm

Kickstarter has taken a big jump up this morning too.

Skerries · 24-03-2017 4:06pm

where exactly is it going to be?

nvm I looked at the KS page :rolleyes:

Is1ldur · 24-03-2017 4:26pm

Literally beside where I live. That is like the greatest hits of pins there. Looking forward to it.

OwaynOTT · 25-03-2017 8:18pm

Deadly! Mario Kart GP! All my years of training have paid off, might lead to a free refill on my soda!
When's it opening?
