At Play Expo, Machchester, last weekend
I was in hogs heaven in the retro area - it was just like the arcades that were around in my childhood - except they were all set to free play! I did reasonably well on Defender and Galaxians but Robotron 2084 made me it's bitch! I also had a go on Tempest 3000 on the Llamasoft stand for the first time ever which was great - but I spotted Giles playing it much more expertly! The Pinball machines were great too - it was nice to see an engineer with one open with wires and bits everywhere
