A full day retro gaming event at the The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge on the 24th Ocotber 2015 - 11am to 11pm with obligatory curry in there somewhere as well.
Retro Gaming Celeb talks to be announced - but rest assured there will be some great names.
There will be arcade machines, retro systems, LAN gaming, competitions, prizes to be won and more.
The Kickstarter for 'The Oliver Twins' book will be launched during the talk by the twins who will be accompanied by many of those who assisted and converted their games back in the day. A free Buffet will be provided to those who attend the talk and launch, and a special gift will be given to those who pledge on the Kickstarter at the event.
Ticket price for the day is £10 per adult, £6.50 for children. There are only 125 places up for grabs and all ticket sales money goes to the museum.
You can buy the Fusion Retro Books published to date at the event and get them signed by the celebs who attend! (or you could bring your books along for signing if you already own them).
The tickets will be on sale on the museum website from 9am on the 2nd October 2015 - first come first served as they say.
Address:
Rene Court, Coldham's Rd,
Cambridge CB1 3EW

We look forward to revealing the Next Dizzy Game in Cambridge on 24th October.
And best of all, I'm likely gonna be there too. So you have to all come cos I'm such a star! :)
Seriously I'm excited cos of my limited transport options I hardly ever get to go to things, but Cambridge ain't far from me at all, an hour on the bus. I'm there every couple of weeks anyways. :)

How come I not a VIP? I'm better than everyone in the world combined! :o
Huum... it is tempting to go! Not even two hours by train! :D
On the other hand, I think I should be also VIP, invited and adored there, I am only slightly below Carnivac! or at least that is what my grand mother says :picard: .

You are always a VIP in my book Carnivac :laugh:
At the end, I will also be there :D . I was not sure because my poor gf is not in gaming or retrogaming at all but she thought that it could be fun. Well, to be honest she thought that it would be great to visit Cambridge while I am in the event :picard:
