Featuring remakes of arcade classics and brand new party and arcade games with a twist, Megaplay can support up to 512 players on a SINGLE screen!

Hmmm, I might quiz the missus if she wants to go; she really enjoyed the last one.

Projector games have been there at both Play expos I've been to, I liked their road race game, but unfortunately can't seem to download or buy it.

Their Tactics Forever was also very similar to a game idea I had sketched in my project book, though they were automating battle.

 

[Fzero]

I was at the 2012 one, I remember seeing the projector with a smaller multiplayer battler going on, about 5 people, nothing like 512 players though - If they did have that then I probably missed it whilst over at the coin ops, where I spent most my time.

Be good if I could get a little go on the Oculus Rift too 

 

[Pritchy]

But... But... You come HERE? to Blackpool? No one wants to come to blackpool!? I live a couple of miles outside of it, that's close enough!

I kid, I kid, mostly  :lol:

 

[Fzero]

ha! If I'm honest, I've been there a few times as a kid, to see the illuminations of course - And I loved it there!

But that was the late 80s, early 90s, what wasn't to like? Arcades on the promenade, nicely illuminated trams and road lights, chips for dinner...

Spoiler

Shame it doesn't coincide with the illuminations really, I'd like to be there around that time again for it

 

[Takedown]

Funny enough, I'm here in Blackpool for uni. I might see you guys there at play Blackpool.

 

[Binky]

No one wants to come to blackpool!?

Whyever not?

They've got the last surviving first-gen tramway in the whole country

Didn't this split into 2 events, retro and modern stuff?

I only went for the retro stuff.

 

[PokeParadox]

Hmmmm have to see what's ahppening but might go this year....

 

[Fzero]

Didn't this split into 2 events, retro and modern stuff?

I only went for the retro stuff.

Don't think so...

Split into zones within the same event, but both modern and retro was there. At least was the case at 2012 one.

Had the old cabs along with pinball machines in one area, then all the old computers and consoles in another, then all the newer consoles playing latest games in another...

And IIRC they had the PS4 at the last one [2013], so even then was all at the one event...

 

[pmprog]

Yeah, this year had PS4, Nintendo, Oculus for the newer stuff, then a few retro stuff, arcades, and a bunch of market tables

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

Hehe, if Craig were still the good old Craig then there might be a Pandora booth there

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

Maybe. Its a possibility.

 

[PokeParadox]

Hehe, if Craig were still the good old Craig then there might be a Pandora booth there

I doubt he'd want to show his face...

 

[EvilDragon]

Hmm, might be something for Pyra.

 

[Ian J]

Pyra in May.


If so I'm there.

 

[Fzero]

That would be nice, I'd buy one from you there ED

 

[EvilDragon]

That would be nice, I'd buy one from you there ED

Buy? In May? We're talking about this year...

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

SHUT UP AND STARTING TAKING ORDER NOW PLEASE!!!!
