Any UK members fancy meeting up at RCM gaming event?

[Curlypaul]

Looks like a cool day out, was wondering if anybody from here fancied meeting up and playing some games there?

I'm not promising anything, but that looks interesting and I'm in Leicestershire anyhow. If I have the money available, I'd definitely be tempted.

Its a tenner if you pre-book your ticket, and that gets you into the science museum as well.

I've still got ok this with my wife anyway

Alright I'm def going and probably bringing my eldest daughter with me.

Be great to get a few of the UK Racketeers together if anybody can make it.

Here is a better explanation of whats going to be happening there:

I was going to start a UK members thread but saw this. I'm just interested to see how many UK members are on here, where you are and if possible have a meet up. Also I'm interested in buying/trading on here but of course, the vast majority of sellers/traders are American.

I'd be interested how this event was too. I never went in the end due to having to dogsit and work over that weekend for my girlfriends family who were on holiday. I definitely wish I could've come though.

The RCM event was really cool. They had 3 rooms in the museum, filled with all sorts of computers and consoles. Computers included a Vic20, Dragon32, BBC Micro, Acorn Atom and a bunch of others that I couldn't identify without checking the badges.

Consoles included all the main Sega and Nintendo machines, including a Virtua Boy. There were also a couple of Ataris, a Jag, a 3DO, a DC with a pair of sticks running Soul Calibre, 10 player Bomberman, a Mame cab etc etc and EVERYTHING was playable. The consoles all had a stack of games next to the them and most of the computers had an SD reader attached with the entire library of ROMs on them.

Needless to say I really enjoyed it and I'm def going next year.

There are a few UK/European people on here, it would be good to try and gather them all together and see if we can meet up or least get some buying and selling going on
