    After all the trouble of fitting the two player control panel to the cab and getting it working, no one used it!

    Would have loved to have gone.

    Fate flipped me the middle finger anyhow - I couldn't go to the beers, as I was supposed to have my work night in the Sheraton in Athlone, but my 5 year was sick and we (myself and my wife) couldn't go to that either - so I went nowhere.

    Anyhow - hope a great time was had by all.

    So where are the pics???

    Just looking at the start of this thread, next years Christmas beers will be the 10th anniversary of the night of the scandalously drunk retro geeks...

    Actually, are beer nights now retro?

    So, thinking of a get together, themed to celebrate the 98/99 launch of the Dreamcast, 20 years ago!
    So, all things Sega but mostly Dreamcast goodness.
    What do people think?

    Obligatory "I'd like to make this if I'm free" :D

    I'm terrible at everything but it would be nice to get some multiplayer going on Typing of the Dead, MvC, THPS, MSR etc.

    Jaysus, the 30/10/2019 is the ten year anniversary of this thread?

    I'd happily have everyone over to mine if ye are up to it.

    Its miles off in the future and I'm in the middle of th city centre so no excuses :D

    If someone could sell me a Time Crisis machine in the meantime that would be excellent :eek:

    I'm imagining having Samba De Amigo, MSR, Space Channel 5 and Crazy Taxi going, but also some MD, Saturn and, heavens forbid, MegaCD/32X action going!
    Sure, have a think again about a date, maybe late March, or earlier?
    Up to you guys.

    Confirmation in the 29th that's a Friday so definitely out for me.
