Videogame Art Exhibition in Antwerp/Belgium

[Simon]

Hello,

 

if you live in Belgium or the neighbor countries you might be interested in the upcoming videogame exhibition "Gamezone" in Antwerp/Belgium.

 

I'll be there this saturday and sunday to present some retrogaming on Atari VCS and Commodore 64 at my booth.

 

You can find more information here: http://www.gamezonedesingel.be (page is in dutch language).

 

See you there!

Simon

I found a picture of this machine on the site. Google can't translate Dutch, so I have no idea what it's purpose is, other than to look incredibly scary.

Hi,

 

the past weekend in Antwerp was great and the exposition was excellent. A lot of aspects of videogaming were covered, new games shown and readings/discussions performed.

 

We presented retro games on C64 and VCS and the feedback was more than positive.

 

I found a picture of this machine on the site. Google can't translate Dutch, so I have no idea what it's purpose is, other than to look incredibly scary.

That machine is called the furminator. It is a modified Terminator 2 pinball in which you insert your head and enjoy a new playing perspective from directly behind the pinball bats. You control the game with the fire buttons of two joysticks in your hands. Your head is protected by a helmet while five cameras inside the machine film the action and show it on a screen to the watching audience. It was really fun and a whole new perspective for playing pinball.

 

Also shown was the PainStation.

 

Later,

Simon
