Retro Road Trip #3 - Retro Computer Museum - 7th May 2011

[TheBladeJunker]

Wow what an event.That Saturn Bomberman setup looks awesome, I didn't know 10 players was possible on a Saturn.

[XFile2708]

@TheBladeJunker Yes it was a cracker matey - yep x10 player Bomberman... crazy but a lot of fun... for a shorter amount of time... lol

[Destruktive]

Ah saturn bomberman :D It's on it's way to me from ebay as we speak ;) Can't wait to get it

[XFile2708]

@Destruktive Nice one matey - its on my list to pickup at some point :)

[Destruktive]

@XFile2708 I had some trouble finding the pal version for a good price. Seems like people only wants to sell the Japanese one :D

[XFile2708]

@Destruktive It won't really bother me which one to get - if I had the choice it'd probably be the Jap version due to the nicer cover-art and manuals... lol

[guv859]

You guys have WAY too much fun! Can I join your gang, please?

[XFile2708]

@guv859 haha - send in your application and we'll consider it :P

[Paperclown]

Man you are really fortunate to have gatherings like this near you. I loved all the ambient game sounds and the monitor glow. All those youtubers in it, and Steve Benway was no where to be seen ! wtf

[XFile2708]

@Paperclown It would have been quite a way for Steve to travel down to... plus it was quite a small event compared to a lot of the others... Ive heard Steve will be attending the GameLink weekend though :)

[MrSlimeboy]

what is your friends disability,?i suffer from m.s.

[XFile2708]

@MrSlimeboy Im not sure if its exactly the same as mine, but its very similar... mine is Multiple Ephyseal Dysplacia... very similar to a severe arthritus...

[markvergeer]

Wow you guys had a great time!

[XFile2708]

@markvergeer Yes it was a great day out matey and superb to meet a few other YouTubers in the process :)

[ap3xdotexe]

Ah Giga Wing, excellent game :D

Looks like it was a great little event, cheers for the footage!

[XFile2708]

@ap3xdotexe Thanks matey - yes im hoping to pickup Giga Wing on DC when funds allow :D

Yes the event was superb - not a bad one for my 1st retro event :D

[ap3xdotexe]

@XFile2708 One day I'll go to a nice little event like that and gain my own copy of Giga Wing! Playing it on my Caanoo will do for now :P

[bluetonic78]

lol Good stuff mate, the Bomberman tournament looked fun - sitting through 2 or 3 hours of other people playing it doesn't sound ideal, though! :)

.......and remember, it's not the winning, it's the taking part that counts. Sometimes lol :)

[XFile2708]

@bluetonic78 yes exactly matey - hopefully they'll re-think the format for the tournament next year as however much I like Bomberman, 1.5hrs of it is just a bit too much... lol

[TheCompletionist]

I think X-File has that evil gamer smile, you wouldn't want to play against. That smile can strike fear into the most hardcore of gamers., lol.

[XFile2708]

@TheCompletionist lol don't fuck with the File... :D

[fgv112]

HAHA LOL "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" u look tired at the begininng!!! seem like a pretty kool place to hang out! Hope u had a good day mate! bomberman bollocks LMAO, :)

[XFile2708]

@fgv112 Yes thats what happens when I don't get my usual x2 cups of coffee before starting the day... lol

[fgv112]

@XFile2708 HAHAHA LOLz speakin of coffee i'm havin some now, wonder if i get bags from having it early in the day , have to check LOL!

Cracking video mate, nice to see myself in those daddy cool shades! I did a few vidoes the previous year if you want to check them out, got a nice interview with Andy whos "in charge" I guess which was pretty cool. Again mate, a pleasure to see you there!

[atik1798]

[XFile2708]

@atik1798 Yes there was a couple of Spectrums there matey - mosts computers seemed to be there in one form or other :)

[ukretrogameaddict]

a goot bit of footage from the day there dude , i sent you over my video i did, have a butchers if you get time, i was gutted on sunday there was no 10 player bomberman :(

[XFile2708]

@ukretrogameaddict Nice one matey I'll check it out... im guessing they learnt their lesson from the Saturday one where the 1st round lasted over an hour and half... lol

[MrRetroNick]

Very cool event that you went to matey, I'll have to try and find one to go to someday. Though its hard to find an advert on this kind of thing.

[XFile2708]

@MrRetroNick Yes it was a great day out matey - I try to mention them on my channel when im going to one but apart from that its just a case of maybe subscribing to forums or ready Retro Gamer magazine to find out when and where the events are... :)

[bap7733]

you 2 make a great double act m8 lol had me in stitches

[XFile2708]

@bap7733 haha - glad you enjoyed it matey... we're definately partners in crime... lol

[ScratchMasterWebbe]

Great video, looked like a fun day out. Do you know what the shooter was on the dreamcast? love shooters but I've only got ikaruga.

[XFile2708]

@ScratchMasterWebbe Yes matey it was Gigawing... hadn't seen it x2 player before but it did play really well... :)

[hargcore]

Love the huge bomberman mutliplayer. I would have been just as bad on it though!

[XFile2708]

@hargcore I managed to win x1 round against x9 other people so im happy with that 1st victory... lol

[hargcore]

@XFile2708 Yer - I love the game but probably wouldn't have won a single match. There looked to be some really good players in the mix.

[XFile2708]

@hargcore Yes I think there was some pretty experienced Bomberman players there... I didn't do too bad for my 1st tournament... all good practise I guess... lol

[amurphy245]

I bet you wish you never volunteered for bomberman you were stuck in that chair for so long lol.

Cracking video,really enjoyed meeting you and the other guys it was a good laugh! hopefully we can make it next time.

[XFile2708]

@amurphy245 Yes I was a bored silly after about half an hour - almost 1.5hrs put into that - hopefully next time they'll rethink the scoring system... lol

[flynnz]

oh man that looked like a good time. Thanks for videoing the action.

[XFile2708]

@flynnz No problem matey - it was a cracking day out and really good to meet up with other YouTubers for the 1st time :)

[XFile2708]

@CosRamix Yes it was very much like an arcade hall with all the gaming noises going on around... lol

[XFile2708]

@xTHExSTIGx lol - yes funnily enough he does... :D

It was a great day out and a good event to go to for my 1st proper retro event :)

[darrenwalshsock]

Awesome footage matey,i really enjoyed the event,and meeting everyone who attended.Im looking forward to the next one :)

[darrenwalshsock]

@darrenwalshsock The last photo reminded me of why i removed the last remaining mirror in the house lol.

[XFile2708]

@darrenwalshsock Yes it was a great day matey - don't forget about the weekend in spalding at the start of June if you can make it :)

[Wardimus83]

[XFile2708]

@Wardimus83 yes I was going to do a 2nd take but thought stuff it leave it as it is as its way funnier... lol
