Thank you Marcel and Co.!
« on: February 22, 2015, 12:30:52 PM »
Fantastic show!!!  8)   Thanks to Marcel, the staff, and all those who brought games to the show.  I think I spent more time in the mostly-vids section than the all-pins.  The mini's all in a circle times two blew me away!  I liked Eagle.  That was the first time I had played that one.  Also hadn't played Reactor since the CeC days about 30 years ago.  Also, Volcano was my sleeper favorite.  Thanks everyone!!!

Yes Craig.  Some cool vids for sure.  Some I haven't played in a long time.
The problem for me was I could only be there Friday and a lot of the games I wanted to play were either down due to power or issues that day.
The cabaret cabinets were very cool to see and play some of those I agree.

Fantastic show, so many great machines you didn't know where to start! Was well worth the three hour drive and hotel expenses. The logistics of getting everything set up so nicely had to have taken enormous effort. Kudos to everyone for putting on a great show, much appreciated!

Nice event, I had a blast! Played a few pins I've not had a chance to play before, I especially liked the Gottlieb Volcano. It was different and played great. Left my name on the Walking Dead which is a good feeling. Can't wait until next year s event.

Yes, definitely. We drove down and were able to play a bunch on Sunday.

I love the pinball but my first love was always arcade machines and I gotta say kudos on the arcade layout this year. 100 games and only about 3 of them (and a nice layout of Mortal Kombats) were Jamma? Not that i'm a huge Jamma hater but to see sooo many pre-Jamma games in one spot is a wonderous feat.

Hadn't played Vanguard in years.

Also the Cabarets are still growing on me. I thought the vector ones were adorable.

Great Job Marcel and all those involved!!!!

Awesome show!  I was a little suspicious of the layout at first but it turned out to be great - having enough space to layout the games in ways other than just rows was really cool.  Thanks to Marcel, the APE crew, and all the collectors for getting all those great titles in one place for us to enjoy.

I had a good time, enjoyed talking with everyone, enjoyed the taco's better with leon & company ( Al and his lovely wife ) on the way to the airport.

I managed to play 1 game, WWE :) thanks Curly for allowing people to play a new game.
