VectorGamer Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Anyone interested in attending Retrocade IV on Saturday, 2.20.2010 in Harrisburg, PA? A night of competitive gaming on two MAME cabs, Vectrex, C64, four Atari 2600s, two Atari 5200s, two Atari 7800s, NES and ColecoVision. Possibly a buy/sell/trade area setup for collectors.

+cvga Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 ... Sounds like fun. Too bad Harrisburg is so far away How many people came to Retrocade III? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 ... Sounds like fun. Too bad Harrisburg is so far away How many people came to Retrocade III? Over 30 people came to Retrocade III. I had 17 drivers in the Indy 500 tournament so I was busy running that for a few hours. I was told that the party was a blast! : ] It's amazing that I'm the only person here in the area on AtariAge! 90 mins from Baltimore and 120 mins from Philly.

VectorGamer Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Provided I have enough TVs, I'll be adding an Intellivision and Atari 800 to the mix, although with limited library. Also, I'm creating a DVD to show on the upstairs lounge area. It will have retro advertisements from the classic era along with some arcade related video like "Into the Valley of the Space Invaders." After that, a showing of King of Kong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorGamer Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Retrocade is twice a year. The next one is in October. We've kicked around the idea of a summertime party but the fact is that people are travelling and it's difficult to get a decent crowd together. We'd have to move most of the systems out on the deck, pray for good weather and no gnat invasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuppicide Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Well, my friends party is the 20th, but I believe it's March 20th as St. Patty's Day is March 17th. If that's the case, then I can go. I asked my friend when his party is so I know and maybe he wants to go too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
