    I'm going, I'll bring Micro Machines for MD and a couple of controllers. Would bring more but I'm up at 6am for an exam and I'm not walking/hanging around Dublin all day with a console in my bag. :pac:
    Also I haven't much else to bring. ^_^

    It's 29 Fitzwilliam Place, just before on the Royal Canal Bridge on Lower Leeson Street. We're on the lefthand side of the road and we're the 2nd building from the start of the street as you come off Leeson street.

    Ah Atavan, come on!

    I picked up some supplies - beer agus tortilla and I've been moving the tv up and switching around the couch so we're all set. Anything else we're missing or have forgotten to mention? You all know where the place is right?

    Can't figure out to get the image back on the telly D:

    I had to unplug the AV switch box and now I regret it. I was thinking of having a quick game of Earthworm Jim before bed, set it all up but all I can get is sound. Whoever shows up first tomorrow will have the joy of helping me fix it.

    I just burnt the arcade perfect port of super street fighter 2 turbo for the saturn so there's no fannying about with ****ty snes and megadrive ports. Pity I won't be bringing me 360 for some third strike and MvsC2 unless someone is bringing them on the dreamcast.

    Also I'll be bringing some cho aniki :P

    Ah no :(

    Who's left then? Myself, Amacachi, Retr0, Monkeyfudge and CCCP? Anyone else? Sure if not that's still a decent enough group.

    I don't think CCCP is expecting us over till half 6. So I can't really be wandering about town much earlier than that as I'll be carrying all my precious Neo Geo stuff! :eek:
