I was a Dragon 32 owner when all my friends had either spectrums or commodores. Lack of game choice was a killer  :-[

Just a quick update for everyone....

Pinball machines announced so far is 28 with over 35 confirmed for the event to
date.

28 video machines announced so far with many more to come. Think it's up to 60
so far!

Around 40 old skool consoles and computers will be displayed also.

The Swallow hotel has an offer on at the moment where if you book online, you
get dinner, bed and breakfast for around £54 per night! Booking must be before
the end of April though. Link is on the NERG website. If you book after April, phone them up and quote NERG for B&B at £50

Also, there is an aftershow party at the hotel for those attending :-)

Machine contributions so far have been very generous and welcoming. Thank you!
Still room for more pinball though. :-)

Some traders have agreed to attend but details are still to be announced.

Announcements are made daily on facebook and twitter in conjunction with the
website updates.

I love my Data East Star Wars.

Is there a "worst conversions" thread?

Remember playing arcade games then buying the same for my home console/computer and feeling SO let down!
