GamesCom 2017 - Pictures

[EvilDragon]

Still catching up with all the things I need to do, but as I also took a few pictures at the GamesCom this year, I thought I'd share them with you

The Retro-Area was fun (as usual )

If it's not too far away, you should really pay it a visit if you find the time next year

More, please.

More, please.

Okay.

My photos came out pretty shaky and blurry for the most part, but I tried saving what was possible with some editing. Still nice ones among them imo.
All of this is hall 10.2 and 10.1. Game running on that Pyra is CrossCode. I played around a lot with the Pyra but took next to no photos of it. Thinking about it, this might've been the stuff you guys wanted to see the most... oops.

Thanks for all the pics

It's cool to see people so young still enjoying games so old, despite all the choices there are now !!

And for everyone that missed it, ED also posted (German) daily videos about the Gamescom here:

Coool.
Cross Code is running on the Pyra (Last pic)
Does it run smooth?

Another question:
Will the visitors be able to bring their own Pyra to the next Gamescom?

I see many old consoles, not many old computers. Were there 8-bit micros too? In some countries retro gaming is more console-oriented, in some more microcomputer-oriented (Like Spectrum or C64).

Thx for the pictures, great to see so many spanish retro games out there.

I did saw a few videos from the retro zone, and there seems to be a lot more old personal computers than consoles, at least 20 C64, 20 Amiga, some Amstrad, Atari ST, etc.

None yet, as I didn't have the time to put them in the shop yet
Should happen this week though.

This one was stolen at the GamesCom

There was a steering wheel to play pac-man ?! O_O

Yep. it's in fact "Not pacman" from Stabyourself.net, and it's the standard setup to play this game

Oh right !! My color-blindness made me unable to understand that the white thingy at the side is actually the title !!
(also the Not Tetris should have been a clue !!)

The real challenge would have been to steal the huge NES control pad.

Super Hexagon on the C64? What is this magic?

Super Hexagon on the C64? What is this magic?

It's a slightly simplified version called "micro hexagon", and it's pretty fun (and smooth).

 

[rygD]

I played around a lot with the Pyra

Any thoughts, or maybe a review?

Sadly, I am not surprised. Have any Pyras gone missing? Or Pandoras?

Hmmm. I can't get it to workon my Pandora. Perhaps it needs to be updated to support the steering wheel style play.

BTW, I used to go to school in Alamogordo.
