    R3play 2011, retro gaming event

    Craig, Chris, Dave, Pete and Steve at the r3play 2011 retro gaming event. Attended both the Saturday and Sunday, stayed overnight in blackpool (lots of beers and a bit of Karaoke).

    Had a brilliant time, the event gets better each year. We lost Dave early days to the Pinball Alley, mostly ‘The Addams Family’ machine. I was so lost into the gaming that I just forgot to take many pics or vids. We good to meet some of the folks from Jammaplus forums, and some of the cabs. Sweet.  Managed to get to quite alot of the talks this time around, really interesting. This event needs to be on Monthly.

    Again, all with big grins on our face all day long.

    Purchased these from r3play 2010 Blackpool

    Viewpoint for the Neo Geo, because I adore shumps and wanted something other than ‘fighters’ to play on the Neo Geo. A shot in the dark as never heard of the game before this day.

    Starblade for the 3DO, I was hoping it would run better than the Mame version.
    I like to take a gamble now and again

    Craig and Chris, at the r3play 2010 retro gaming event. We had an awesome time, we both had the biggest grins on our face all day long. Great time on the arcade machines, Chris was blown away with the Cave shumps, I had a blast on the Amiga (set highscore on Project X). Chris went old school with a gaming session on the BBC Electron, playing a newly released game. I played Craig Tempest 2000 for the Jaguar at R3play 2010. Whilst the creator watched us Jeff Minter. using a modded controller they did for the game.

    Chris and Craig in Pinball Alley at R3play 2010. The sounds and atmosphere in this area was just awesome. And after a tidy amount of time playing, I started to hit some of the features. It felt great.
    Funny thing, sometimes you know after the ball bounces of a wall that it is going straight down the middle, and no mater what i do, nothing can stop it. Although this happens in a flash, it seems to go in slow mo
