snicklin #1 Posted October 5, 2013 Hi All, As I generally ask before one of these events, who will be coming on the 12th and 13th of October to the Play Expo in Manchester? TMR, you're a given...! Anyone else coming? Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tezz #2 Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) I will be attending definitely on the Saturday and maybe Sunday. I'm looking forward to the even larger event that it is this year. Edited October 5, 2013 by Tezz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tezz #3 Posted October 5, 2013 Amongst all of the many goings on at the event Rob Hubbard, Ben Daglish and Andrew Hewson (of Hewson Consultants) have been confirmed as attending for talks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snicklin #4 Posted October 5, 2013 Rob and Ben are part of the "Bedrooms to Billions" talk at 12 noon on Saturday, I'll be there to listen to that. Still waiting for my copy to turn up, now that they've put the date back for release. I believe that they're giving a preview at the show though. It'll be good to see you again Tezz. Will you have any WIP projects to show? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMR #5 Posted October 5, 2013 TMR, you're a given...! So nice to be taken for granted... =-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+GroovyBee #6 Posted October 6, 2013 I'll be helping out on TMR's stand again this year. See you there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tezz #7 Posted October 6, 2013 Great, look forward to seeing everyone again. ..Will you have any WIP projects to show? I should have some bits and pieces to bring along, I'm putting some disk images together at the moment and will hopefully rush some things together during the week.

snicklin #8 Posted October 6, 2013 So nice to be taken for granted... =-) The world of Atari will collapse before you stop attending these shows! Taken for granted, no, however a show without you... well, it wouldn't be a show would it? =-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMR #9 Posted October 6, 2013 The world of Atari will collapse before you stop attending these shows! Taken for granted, no, however a show without you... well, it wouldn't be a show would it? =-) Now you're just being sarcastic. =-) Oh, before i forget; for anyone who hasn't met me before but wants a chat, i currently have a beard so don't look entirely like my pictures and i'll have a C64C with a very bright blue power light and a banana yellow cartridge sticking out the back, look for that and i'll probably be slumped in a corner nearby since it's "traditional" for me to be ill at these things. =-) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snicklin #10 Posted October 7, 2013 @Groovybee, it'll be good to see you again. Shame you wasn't at the show in May. @TMR, sarcastic, nah! @Tezz, that'll be great to see some of your work in progress. It always feels special to see something (and possibly play with that game) at a show, knowing that it won't come out till much later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NuY #11 Posted October 7, 2013 Won't be able to make it this year unfortunately, despite living up the road. Had a bad car crash last month and still getting over that. Can definitely recommend going though, last year was a blast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tezz #12 Posted October 8, 2013 @Heaven. Jeff Minter is also attending again previewing his new PS Vita game, do you have Gridrunner together to show him? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

José Pereira #14 Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Just to inform that I will not be there. I was really excited for the idea of finding a certain Mr.TMR in a corner with a bad ill looking but sadly this Night I didn't won the EuroMillions lotery (2? lost for nothing!). There's still a hope to win something untill ABBUC. @TMR: Will those two lolita girls be at the show ? Edited October 8, 2013 by José Pereira Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snicklin #15 Posted October 10, 2013 Just to inform that I will not be there. José, if you win this year, will you save the money to come to next year's show? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+skr #16 Posted October 10, 2013 That´s too close. But I´ll most probably hit the UK in spring 2014 (Leicester and Brum again), what´s up then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
José Pereira #17 Posted October 11, 2013 José, if you win this year, will you save the money to come to next year's show? No this year as when I firsted posted my idea at FWar and Xuel answered we even now didn't ever talk in prizes and money.If I and I just said this as a joke I will not go just to your Manchester show/meeting. And you know, some of you at least my like but this damn lots of year later that 'damn bomb' and that year we don't had web and was that now from web and Tezz that I knew that all that was taked away by a bomb. Fennel Street and that cave... I hope you at least have your Cadbury usine and it didnn't be like ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snicklin #19 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) That´s too close. But I´ll most probably hit the UK in spring 2014 (Leicester and Brum again), what´s up then? Hmm, if you came in around May then you would be able to attend "Revive" in Wolverhampton. Here's a link to last year's event: http://www.turnarcades.com/2012/11/06/revival-a-new-retro-event/ (EDIT: Strictly it was this year as it was 2013!)

Heaven/TQA #22 Posted October 12, 2013 Tezz... Damned.... Just read the message... Got my attention because of an Facebook post by Jason and a pic with rob Hubbard .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tezz #23 Posted October 12, 2013 Tezz... Damned.... Just read the message... Got my attention because of an Facebook post by Jason and a pic with rob Hubbard .... I just got back from the event a couple of hours ago, such a huge venue, it was a great day, I had a long chat with Rob Hubbard and Ben Daglish before their talks began. Groovybee who was there with Jason said that Jeff had played his ColecoVision version of Hover Bovver earlier on. I remember last year Jeff actually had Gridrunner on the Vic-20 at his stand throughout the day. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
