tep392 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Too bad I didn't read this till today. How did it go? I have a few vintage systems I could bring next year if you do this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzwald Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Too bad I didn't read this till today. How did it go? I have a few vintage systems I could bring next year if you do this again. It was a lot of fun! By chance, a boy scout troop came for pizza after an outing and ended up playing a lot of games Great time showing the kids old hardware! Would be great to have more machines next time. I talked with one of the troop leaders who is also a member of River City Labs (Peoria makerspace) and he wanted to try getting something together sooner than next year, probably at the makerspace.

Inky Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I saw this, but think I had something going on that day. I live only 2 hours or so away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosikuma Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I had a blast. Do you guys do other events in the area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzwald Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I had a blast. Do you guys do other events in the area? We do this once a year. There was some chatter about getting together at River City Labs makerspace in Peoria, but nothing solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
