Photos from Revival 2013

[fitzsteve]

Hi All,

I thought I'd share some pics from this weekends event in Wolverhampton, UK - Revival

Please feel free to add your own photos to this thread so that they are all together.

Here are mine

This is the Main Hall, it was really busy on Saturday, very tough to get a go on many of the Arcade Games and Pinball, no chance lol.

I'm not sure exactly how this worked but the buttons are connected to fruits which if you touch makes the action on this bizarre Arcade machine!

This was the Amibay/Techshack corner, the boys working hard as you can see!

Zetr0 setting up Saturday morning:

Yet more hard work from the Tech Shack boys! (Left to right Jay(AtartJay), Keith(Zetr0) and Phil(r0jaws)

Time for some Gaming! Left to right, Justin, Zetr0, AtariJay:

The stall was fairly busy on Saturday, less so on Sunday, in fact Sunday was pretty quiet throughout.

This is the second hall which we were in, on the right one of the many overpriced Games vendors...

The Main Hall Sunday AM before the bulk of the visitors arrived...

Main Stage:

I must resist temptation to buy a mini Arcade cab!

Had a few Games on these GT4 link up racers, was great fun and classic Ridge Racer

DJ Echo saving the world:

Justin and Gazcbm racing it out on Wipeout

And lastly a very happy Firthy with his purchases

It was great fun & I hope to see you all at the next event

I'll see how I feel later mate, I'm pretty destroyed after the weekend. Sorry to all if I was a bit distant or grumpy throughout I was really battling the pain all weekend of this stomach problem

I had a great weekend though and it was awesome to see you all!

I especially enjoyed the Skidmarks Games Justin

Great stuff

Thanks! I hope you enjoyed the pics

You're welcome mate, was my pleasure and nice to have some company for part of the journey

Err, that Samsung monitor is going to need a price Steveo! Nice photos dude

He he, that wasn't for sale - it was the stuff on the table.

A big thanks to all who donated items especially johnim for the Games I believe we raised a quite sizable amount for the site.

@AmiMods, once I get all the payments for items sold at the show I will be making a donation too

And a huge round of applause for Justin's wife the wonderfull Nikki who raised a massive amount for Amibay's running costs...

Thank you so much for your continued support and help Nikki

TC

@fitzy, sorry to hear you weren't that well mate, credit to you though you soldiered on and did credit to us all...next time you and I will talk a lot more

 

[NinjaRabbit]

Ooh, awesome pictures - many, many thanks for posting.

Looks like there was about as much there as last year's Play Expo, but in what looks to be a slightly smaller venue. Is that about right? Either way, it looks like there was a nice selection of stuff to see and do, and it looks like there was lots going on!

Shame about there being overpriced vendors of old games, though. I guess it goes with the territory...

I'm not sure exactly how this worked but the buttons are connected to fruits which if you touch makes the action on this bizarre Arcade machine!

I know how this was done - most likely with a MaKey MaKey. Cool stuff!

 

[Justin]

ok here are my lot.

particually like the ones of R0jaws, Gareth with C64 and boobs and the one of me beating Gareth at yet another game

 

[Justin]

and of course there are more (gutted I didn't get one of TC )

 

[Paradroid90]

Just few Pics I am afraid as my battery died on my phone but did get some pics of some rare 8-bits out in the wild

Namely a Jupiter Ace and an Acorn Atom

It was great to meet you all and roll on next year

 

[User1301]

Excellent photo's guys

Loving the photo's of Gazcbm. Gareth - you always manage to get a phot with the Cosplay girls hehe Also - like the photo with Mike Montgomery.

Really really gutted I couldn't make it I was so looking forward to seeing you all again. Lost my hotel pre-book as well

Hope you lot can make it along to Play Expo in October so I can catch up with you all again

Cheers

John

great pics, and it was a great weekend. Good to catch up with some peeps and meet others for the first time too. Cheers to fitzsteve for the top sfc cart deal and miner49er too for buying some of my stuff (will let you know if i decide to get rid of the 7800 stuff mate).

Massive massive thanks to Rojaws too for loaning us the everdrive cart so we could run our Sonic competition on the retrocollect stand too (otherwise we would have been fecked) and also for sorting out me with a fully working everdrive 64 too.

Justin - have you managed to breathe life into that mac classic i donated too? be good to see pics of it properly up and running too

 

[protek]

Great photos!
Wish I could've been there.

 

[r0jaws]

Coolio photos guys.

@Bobpard, you are very welcome chap, glad I could help. I have the Mac here, I will be giving it some TLC and seeing if I can get it working properly. If so, it will be a raffle prize that we will be organising shortly in order to raise some more funds for the site.
