Arcade and Retro forum beers! (AKA the night of the scandalously drunk retro geeks)

Andrew76

Ok thanks for the heads up folks.

A question about the memory card though, do you guys use a Memory Stick Pro Duo or a Micro SD with an adapter - would that work just as well? I found a Pro Duo in a drawer but it's only 64MB, no idea where it came from but it must be ancient. So looking to get something GB in size.

Yeah, micro sd and adapter works a treat either.

I need to ask a favour. I've a friend of mine that really wants to go to the Beers this weekend but he's out in Tallaght and doesn't have a lift. Can anyone do him a big favour and give him a lift? Thanks!

I will probably be heading out for a few hours. I picked Mr Vestek and Dog the Bounty Hunter up from Northside Shopping Centre in Coolock before. It's on the 27 bus route, that comes across from Tallaght. If they can make it to the shopping centre I could pick them up from there if they needed a lift.

I was wondering if it was an April fools thing...
Don't really want inbred mullet wearers at the beers.
But don't worry Retr0, you can still go!

Cool I'll let him know and pm you contact details later. Thanks for helping him out!

So what time is this kicking off at again?

CiDeRmAn

Around 8 or 9 I suppose, whatever time people arrive, usually spend the first hour talking in the kitchen anyway!

Why have I got this horrible feeling that I'm going to leave the beers night needing an MSX in my life...

Eh, please don't. Bring it with you! :P

Those boxes look great. That's one thing I kinda of miss about boxed games these days - nothing more than a dvd case and feck all of a manual to be found most times. Although they do take up less space which is good.

And that is my favorite part of the night

Gutted to be missing this but hope you all have a great time.
Even if i had the night off sorted i still couldn't make it as it now looks like i will be doing a 17 hour shift.

Didn't tell little sparks that it was coming up so she knows no different.

Play some Boulder Dash for me please:)

Atavan-Halen

Want me t bring anything tonight or just the usual assortment of smut & 90s pop stars?

Feck. Would have loved to check out that bounty. Did you get any Aleste games yet?

We need to scour the small ads and hook you up with a Turbo R!

Sure you're only out the road, why not come along?

One in the future definitely. Right now I'd be asleep at the wheel before I even made it off my driveway.

Cheers though. Take lots of MSX snaps though for the Premium Fever thread!

A really big thanks to everyone who came this evening, it was great to see everyone and to watch Andrew triumph over Aliens, and Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy triumph similarly over whatever mental game she was playing!

Atavan-Halen

Just home now, thanks again, pleasure as always!

Lazy triumph, I just had to finish it though, it was something
Edit: thanks for everything and for having us again.

Sparks43

Just home

Unfortunately it was from work, long bloody day makes me question why i became a barman.

At least i can take pride in the job that was done today

Now time for a Beer

Andrew76

Not long in the door myself. Thanks to the Cidey family for the warm hospitality and it was great to see familiar and new faces. Good fun was had.

Oh and thanks to atavan for leading us in and out of the maze of country roads, would've been completely lost otherwise.

Myrddin

Thanks for hosting Cidey, was nice to see the regulars again. I managed to successfully avoid the MSX for most of the night, and as a result, have probably saved myself a fortune

STG.Otaku

Was there any Aleste or Konami MSX Premium Fever action GO GO! Type R?

The Last Bandit

Many thanks Ciderman, good to see some old and new faces again

MrVestek

Sorry that I couldn't be there lads... this is how I spent my night last night though:



Partying with this dude...

Myrddin

Surely he's made captain by now?

Myrddin

For the record, Sir Vestek didn't come to the beers because he was partying with wang...

Star trek character most likely to be forced into a red jumper and dumped on a planet of pissed off Klingons with itchy trigger fingers.

I forgot to say sorry to Meridian Jr for the lack of eggs, I only thought of CiderJr, not sure if I saw he was coming or not (thought it was one of the cousins). Head like a sieve! ( ´>д<)

BGOllie

good to see everyone. sorry had to leave early, but had to be home early this morning.
Huge respect to Mydrrin who didn't touch that msx stuff we were passing around at all. I admire your self control.

Ha, it looks like a very interesting machine. On advice from my bank manage however, I gave it a wide berth Great to meet yourself also

So everyone has more mellow opinions on the Retron5 now?
Its not the spawn of the devil after all?
