Well done dude - looked to be a quality night - just a shame it's so far away from me...

[ukretrogameaddict]

@bsg7 that is a shame : ( it was a totally kick ass night i can't wait to do the next one!

[gamerslivingroom]

Awesome! It's just like RetroActive, but with MORE beer. Very cool, and so nice of you to share your passion with all those happy punters, for FREE. Good luck with it and I hope it's really successful. If I'm ever up in Leicester again when you are running one I'll definitely come along.

[ukretrogameaddict]

@gamerslivingroom yes there was quite alot of Rum flowing on Saturday Simon, whoops! awesome night and it's a great warm up each month leading upto this years RetroActive, i love people who come down and know nothing about the games being there and all of a sudden there like ARRRRGH BOMBERMAN! and they just go nuts - and it's a great chance to try out some of my new games each month all at the same time : P

[ButtonMasher100]

I wanna go to a barcade!!!!!

[ukretrogameaddict]

@ButtonMasher100 come down it's frick'in awesome dude!

[electricadventures]

Hey where's my beer?

You are the man for organizing these, I just wish it was at my local pub - lol!

I'd come but the 22 hours to get there might be an issue :)

[ukretrogameaddict]

@electricadventures 22 hour it'd be worth it, just! - if you come down i'll make sure there's a beer waiting on the bar from me dude! can't wait till the next one!

[adfot1]

nice dude, seems like a great event a little to far for me to come :( 17000 kms .. Great to see someone sharing the Retro love.. good work :)

[ukretrogameaddict]

@adfot1 it totally kicked ass and the feedback i got was awesome people were loving it! can't wait to do it again soon, come on it's only 17000kms you pussy!

[28steryan]

Hope non of those drunken maniacs puked on your machines.

[ukretrogameaddict]

@28steryan i think i was more drunk than most of the people there - the more i drank the better i got a street fighter, i even won a bloody match lol - no puke on the consoles this time thankfully : p

[StigsGameRoom]

Very cool mate ! I helped set up a similar thing at a car show last year, so I know how much work it takes, very cool thing for you to do :)

[ukretrogameaddict]

@StigsGameRoom This one was a piece of piss really - i did a huge one last year for 250 people now that was a nightmare - i'm going to go for a 400-500 people event this year - bring it grrrrrrr - i'll get back to you about the game gear later, i've not forgot!

[citizenjlk]

Brilliant, looks really well set up. Now do one in London!

[ukretrogameaddict]

@citizenjlk I supplied 90% of all the retro systems at London Game Con at the end of last year - thats prob the closest i'm going to come to hosting a London one i'm afraid : (

sorry man - glad you liked it though : )

[handheldretro]

Great idea, might have to make a trip up from south Wales for this, I'm not aware of anything similar in my area. Keep up the awesome videos

[ukretrogameaddict]

@handheldretro thanks man glad you like it! if your thinking of coming to an event - i'd wait till my big one! RetroActive it's a full weekend of Retro Gaming goodness - Details will be up on my channel in the next few weeks : )

[dingwei7]

All looks really good! It's great that you do things like these free events where anyone can play. You ever get too crowded? It look pritty packed there and I would imagen these events only get more popular as more people are seeing them. There's going to be hundreds at the doors soon lol

[ukretrogameaddict]

@dingwei7 it was pretty dam busy later on but not to crowded just right really, hopefully the word will spread and we can get a few more people down there's always room for a few more die hard gamers!

[PixelFists]

Awesome night, great games, banging tunes and plenty of ladies :D

[ukretrogameaddict]

@PixelFists Yes that's right there was ladies at a video game event! RetroActive the Ladies Choice for Video Game Events!
