The fucking Marquee is over £40, then another £40 odd for postage alone. Ive been wanting one for years as I want to make a table top light box out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I was looking at that too! I wonder how cheap these machines were selling for during the dying days of the arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one for £800 7 years ago, but it was the business. The cabinet was properly done, not just flat-packed together. The monitor was massive so it weighed an absolute ton. It had pretty much every emulator going packed on to it. I got loads of usage out of it. It makes way more difference playing the games on a proper cabinet as well.

hallicks Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 My mum foisted this nugget of childhood gaming on me the other day. We called it "The Piggy". My brother was the only one who completed it in our family, as far as I remember. It's basically pac man, move around the board eating the yellow bits and try not to get eaten by the blue things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'll go sometime this month. I went last year just before my birthday. It was a good night out. I hear the best time to get up there is Sunday lunchtime as there's not as much queuing for the VR things, which look really interesting. I do need to get up there with some friends who are a bit more into gaming as I am so we can have a proper crack at some of the multiplayer games.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 12, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'm going to head up at the end of the month. Probably won't be for long as Bury's a bit of a trek from Stockport and I have to get back for picking the kids up from school, but looking forward to it.

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted January 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) For anyone interested, I spotted this pretty interesting Kick Started project earlier. The concept is pretty straight forward, the end user will be able to design and make there own nes game, pop it on a blank cartridge and play on nes compatible machines.. all drag and drop kind of stuff, no coding required. If they get it right it’s a great idea: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1316851183/nesmaker-make-nes-games-no-coding-required Edited January 15, 2018 by Kaz Hayashi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
