Eurocade 2011

[CrazyKongFan]

Glad to see Aart made it...he hasn't been able to make the last couple Funspot tournaments, so I'm sure he misses playing on real machines...did he blow you guys away with his mad Galaxian skills?

You bet. After my own pcb started to act up, Robin walked home and put in one of his (he lives only a coupl hundred meters from the Eurocade location).

Once installed Aart did a great game and finishing deliberately at a a score of 555550.

Aart told me my cab played superbly, which was great to hear as I always focus on perfect controls.
He already agreed on making an appointment to go for a new world record on my machine. We have to see when and how.He's a very nice guy by the way !!!

There's some shots of Aart playing Galaxian....amazing.
He told me he had to do a bit of calculation to end at 555550

Got a text message from him yesterday saying he's ready to do a 2.5 million game on my cab....gonna plan that ASAP !!!

Yeah good idea.....not that there is very much interest, but I guess the US guys have something else on their mind today...

 

[lukeearle]

This is very cool. So when is it gonna be held in the UK?

Congratulations André! It looks like everyone was having a great time.

Thanks Gary, indeed !!!!

And look, we did a little Funspot promotion:

My son "bought" this poster especially for me from his tickets

I suggested a "group flight" to Funspot some day in the future......and some guys really liked the idea...
