Thanks for the heads up, I had a great time! It was nice seeing you, Gusmoney, and Nick from Next Level. This kind of reminded me of the Philly Classic and Too Many Games when they just were starting out. I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures (if you click on the link and see the pictures that does it more than enough justice minus the arcade and console game rooms), but I enjoyed playing Heavy Barrel, Popeye (with a crappy monitor), Playchoice Contra, and Asteroids in the arcade.

They had some decent vendor tables, the painted Earthworm Jim Genesis was really cool looking, and I was happy to pick up Truxton (sans the instructions though) for $31 that made it worth the trip besides seeing you fellas.

I don't know if anyone else caught this, but did you see the Darth Vader windshield wipers? What the #*%! was that!

It was also awesome to have something like this in the late fall instead of spring, summer, and early fall when I'm usually working half of the weekends especially always TMG week it seems (wow just checked it out and I will be free for 2016).

Sadly, no one got served in RB2 though :crying:

Ditto, John!

It's a shame the Galloping Ghost guys had their Primal Rage 2 shit the bed, and I would've liked a chance to play that fighter they are developing. Sadly, the backgrounds were the only thing displayed every time I was in the arcade room.

Cool little show; more flea market than con, but they are just starting out.

Not having a big red on site was the biggest letdown. My cart stayed in my trunk. ;_;

We'll have to get our Real Bout 2 on at a meet soon!

Ditto the aforementioned. Good hang, small small show but it was nice to have something in the Fall and see some NG crew.

Glad we finally got a chance to talk Ralf, my bad on not reaching out previously.

Hopefully we do something again soon...NEC (http://bigegaming.com/nec-16/)?

Yeah I'd be interested to check it out. I know JT4MB was planning on being there as well. I also want to check out the casino also to be honest with you. I texted Stefan to see if he is free as well. If I can swing Friday night I will, it's not looking to good for Saturday and Sunday right now though...

I am not a big casino guy but I have been before and was not all that impressed from what I remember, fwiw. I think it is mandatory that one has to signup for their card just to get inside. Electronic table games too (no dealer or real cards just digital). Just seemed kinda of little league to me.

Are they the ones with the fake dealers I've seen in Vegas made by Aruze of all people? Yeah I knew the casino was bush league I just want to check it out to say I've been there. Do they charge you to get in, I heard they used to at least. Also from what I see its $20 to watch the tourney? I just want to make sure I bring enough cash since I only use my cards most of the time.

I *think* they have real table games too but they are mixed in with the electronic tables, not sure of the make. I think there is something with putting money on your card to begin with but there is some bonus once you use it (or for drinks or something)? Sorry, my memory is foggy.
