GridCycle 2005–2012. A read-only archive: comments and polls are closed.

Well, again it was a blast.  Thanks to all that attended this edition of the party and to all of the newcomers as well.  It made for a most awesome time.  Some highlights for me were:

  • Seeing Cloudscout’s flagship arcade machines working 100%. – An Original Ms. Pac-Man (in glorious full color no less) and the 60-in-1 Arcade in the beautiful Centipede cabinet.  Thanks for bringing them.
  • The use of space was good this spring.  There were a lot of areas to move around, but still a fair amount of games and systems to try.
  • The Medieval Mayhem (informal) tournament was hot.  I don’t think I’ve seen a larger crowd assembled for an old 8-bit Atari VCS game.
  • My hitting the 50K mark in a Tron game with a small crowd present.  Joe Esposito was ringing in my ears in that moment… ♫”You’re the best… around!  Nothin’s ever gonna keep you down!”♫
  • General crowd noises and cheering.
  • Arcade noise goodness.
  • Cassette Tape participation!  Thanks to those who brought music on cassette!

Please feel free to let us know what you’d like to see in the future and/or the highlights of the party for you.  The next one is scheduled for Fall…

Oh and I almost forgot:  If anyone has photos from their phone or otherwise feel free to post links.

    I feel bad not giving Crazy Climber wind of this event. He’s practically got an arcade down in his basement.

    Well, bring him to the next one. :) I think for the next one, our buddy Jim is going to bring his Crazy Climber cocktail.
