Hello,


Me and Mrs Milkshake attended Games Britannia: REPLAYED today (a smaller version of Replay) you can take a look at the website here...


Games Britannia: REPLAYED


Had a really enjoyable day, entered myself in to the Super Nes Street Fighter 2 Turbo tournament but due to the 'making of Golden Eye' talk over running I missed me slot...doh. There were other tournaments throughout the day like original Xbox Halo 2 multilayer tournament.


Anyway here are a few photos we would like to share with you.

So much CRTs and so much old machines.


Gosh, are we all THAT old... ? TT


Haha i saw some silver intruder-cloner ;^)


Thx for sharing ^^.

There's something delightfully cheeky about the pictures with the Pandora clone action.

Hahaha! Awesome! The event, of course, but in particular the little silvery twin in the last photos

How was this publicized? I'm gutted to miss out on a retro gaming event.

Absolutely awesome pictures, here! Looks like it was a brilliant event.


No prizes for guessing which photos are my favourite, though. That is one great bit of NES mimickry going on, there.


It looks like the literature on display was very good and informative, too, going on the "8-bit Glory" picture. Always nice to see!

I didn't know about it either, it was MrsMilkshake who spotted it and I was lucky that Magna is in my home town so it was just down the road.


yeah I thought it would be cool to take some pics of the pandora showing off some of its little dance moves


the making of goldeneye talk was really cool too.


@prometheus there more pretty much text on every display talking about maybe the game that was on the display blown up in pixelated glory, I should have took photos of some more really.

That's a real shame we missed that, I'd have liked to have had the Pandora there.

 

[milkshake]

@craig well technically it was there (though not in an official capacity)

 

[craigix]

Was this one anywhere near as big as replay?

 

[milkshake]

well not quite that big, I would say probably half as big, but it was by the same people, I think it was aimed at teaching young people about getting into programming and games etc, on the Saturday (which I missed) they had the guys from raspberry Pi give a talk.


They even had a BBC stand which folks from the bbc and some local games developers company called sumo digital (they made sonic and sega all star racing for xbox and ps3 etc) and they are from Sheffield.

 

[elwing]

damn, why is there no event like that near me...


edit: that said there's this museum near me... it is simply GREAT... and the current exhibit is about video games...
