This weekend I had the first Retro Rumble game night and competition of 2016. I’m really happy that so many people could join! A total of 22 guys and gals were competing, and a few more were there spectating ^_^ It was a blast, and even though there were so many people competing everything went extremely smoothly!
All of the 22 contestants got to compete in 6 games. The games that were played were:
Psycho Chaser for PC Engine, first stage, 1 life and best score.
Race for Philips Videopac, 2 minutes score attack.
Sonic 2 for Sega Mega Drive, first stage, speedrun, best time.
Phoenix for Atari 2600, 1 life, best score.
Daiku no Gensan for Famicom, first stage, one life, best score.
Sachen Tetris for NES, level 9, 30 lines, best score.
When all the games were played one team had the highest score and won the A-Team price! Congrats NinjaBrite, Matt8Bit & Slurpas!
Before the semi-finals we stopped for a retro gaming quiz that I put togehter ^_^ Some of the questions were a bit difficult on purpose but a majority of the questions had 4 options for answers :) The quiz master was KRS ^_^
Wobbly, KRS, TekkenCarr and Slurpas made it to the semi-finals! They got to compete in three games. First up was Horace Goes Skiing for ZX Spectrum, where they had one pair of skis to get as high of a score as possible. Next up was Sugoi no Hebereke and VS Collection on the Super Famicom. It was a good fight!
Slurpas and TekkenCarr came out victorious and made it to the finals where they competed in Twinkle Star Sprites on Neo Geo MVS arcade, Joy Mecha Fight on Famicom and finally Pong on my new Ajax TV Game system ^_^ It was an even fight but the Pong match settled the score and Slurpas became our 2016 Retro Rumble Champion! Congraturation A Winner Is You!! XD
Once the competition was finished we continued gaming all night long ^__^ So much fun! Thanks to everyone who attended! <3
Now here’s some more pics from the evening :D
Retro Video Gaming 
Cool, I would like to join you but unfortunately I do not live in suede :-(
That’s a shame! This is where it all happens ;D haha
Son of a gun!
I am not having that much fun with my retro video game collection!
Why can’t my friend be more into retro video games?!
I wanna Retro Rumble too!!! :D
Hahaha ^_^ You should!! I didn’t either until a few years ago when I started mingling around in the retro gaming communities of Sweden, met a bunch of new friends and just started hosting my gatherings ^_^ It’s a blast! You seriously should come to Sweden and play some games!! :D
Excelente collection, i´d like to be there but a live in La Patagonia, Argentina. I´m thinking buy an arcade machine multi games or a Candy, what do you think is better? bye good luck
Thanks :)
I prefer having original consoles and arcades. A multigame machine is of course more convenient, but there’s multicarts for a candy cab as well. I like the candy cabs :) They’re comfortable to play on.
