Retro Gaming Show - NERG 2019

This is an event packed with old gaming consoles, arcade cabinets and pinball machines next weekend in Gateshead. I'm thinking I'll get a train over and spend the Saturday there. Anyone else going to visit? I'll play you at Street Fighter.

Sounds great, but I can't make it next weekend. Have you been to the National Videogame Museum down near Castlegate, Sam? I've been meaning to go.

Yeah sounds good Sam but Gateshead is a bit too far away for me. If they organise one a bit closer I would be interested in going.

Had a grand old time, felt like I'd walked into one of the rooms of my heaven, ha. I'll post some photos in a minute.

And of course the videogame museum, and speaking of...

I've also been pepeptually meaning to go since I noticed it! Love the idea. Was finally planning on visiting either the weekend after next or sometime mid-August.
