Llamasoft Lleague Llive

Post by Ahchay »

I (in another thread) wrote:I'm currently trying to organise (read: work out the prices and possible dates) a Llamasoft Lleague Llive event just outside Chichester. A mate of mine from the UKVAC list has just opened a Retro Arcade (RetroKade!) down there with a view to hiring it out for corporate bashes, stag-weekends and other such gatherings.

Now this place, quite frankly, fucking rocks. Alongside the obvious classics (Defender, Robotron, Asteroids, Star Wars, Pacman) he's got some incredibly rare machines (Joust Pinball, Joust 2, Major Havoc, Breakout cocktail) - all in all, he's got close to 100 classic era dedicated arcade machines installed and working. No mean feat in itself...

I mentioned this to a few people at the weekend, but the current intention is to organise a day and evening there sometime in April or May (probably May now) at a cover price of around £10 including a barbecue or somesuch (all machines on free-play - so no worries about coinage this time). We'd need at least 20 people to make it worthwhile methinks...

More details when I have them! Although, in all probability, this will be a Llamasofties only event, under the Retrovision banner
So then... Any interest in this - please note that I have no definite dates or prices yet, but I would quite like a quick headcount to see whether this is a viable thing :)

Cheers

Oh - go on, then. ;)

Seriously - I've been there, and it's a fantastic-looking place.

If this ends up being the next gig I can launch the SICKBOY high score plaque! YAY...

The plaque will be basically a nice wood shield with a brass front. Each event a new overall HighScore champ will be had and that name added to the list on the brass front.

A nice touch I feel and dedicated to the High Score guru himself...

Hmmm, checks multimap, right on the south coast. Bit far for me I'm afraid.

Maybe when I'm back in Aldershot, but as I've just received another 3 month extension :D I'll be in Switzerland until July at least.

Sounds fantastic but is just about as far away from me as you can get, without being really silly and heading off to the Cornish Riviera! *thinks* I have a younger brother who lives in Gosport - that's just down the road. I wonder if June is a good time for a sibling reunion? :twisted:

Pete, when you get over here you're going to be so busy your feet won't touch the ground - as for Retrokade - let me know the dates and I *will* arrange something :)

@everyone else: Wow. Good response - I'll talk to Rav tonight and come up with some dates.

@stark: I'm definitely thinking late May rather than June - can't do the Glasto weekend anyway!

Cheers

Sounds interesting. Don't know if I'll be able to make it but with the amount of nasty dentist stuff I am due to go through this summer I need the odd treat! Will watch for more details.

1. Gawd bless yer, Marky, for the kind comments about the plaque thingy. Maybe we could also inaugurate the 'Jedburgh - Outstanding Achievement In The Field Of F-Zero Excellence' trophy, too. :twisted:

2. Late May sounds disturbingly close to the New Hampshire tournament (May 29th onward, for a few days). They've been a bit quiet about it, but, as far as I know, it's still on. I pestered the Funspot bloke again yesterday... Hopefully, there should be some news later in the week.

3. Elizian - if you can get a flight down to Heathrow, I'll be happy to pick you up. It's a dead easy hour's drive down to the arcade from there.

4. I think you can officially count Fuseball in, too. ;)

5. Oh, and Jeff is definitely interested.
