JOLLYfest takes place on Saturday 2nd October.

A celebration of all things Retro and Imported - PAL PS2's need not apply.

JOLLYfest will be biggest, noisiest diehard hardcore gaming fest this side of the Atlantic; this time we've cut out the middle man and decided to hold it in a bar where even the fruit machine's a PacMan game.

The venue's booked, guests are being signed up, and machines you've never even seen before will be there for you to check out. Think Vectrex, Colecovision, PCFX, Japanese Saturn and more.

Competions? No problem - Will Saturn Bomberman, 16 Player Halo, Warlords and Wario Ware do?

Bring along your stuff to swap, get a trade table, sell some stuff you can't eBay, swap for something you've always wanted, take home something nice - Game collecting how it used to be.

Have a few beers with people who create games, write about them, collect them or hell, even play them occasionally.

Chill out and watch some classic gaming shows and documentaries over a pint, a short or whatever you fancy.

It'll be fun, it'll be exciting and if you get fed up walk over the road and visit the birthplace of computing in Bletchley Park.

JOLLYfest @ The Railwayman’s Club, Bletchley, Buckinghamshire - Saturday October 2nd 2004, 11am to 6pm. 30 seconds walk from Bletchley train station, and plenty of free parking for those who want to drive - Tickets on door £5.

Fantastic! I am excited about this one already. Managed to persuade one freind to come along already, and arranged to stay at a freind's in Milton Keynes. Woohoo! Will try to convince a couple of others to come too.

Plus I have a ton of trade stuff to bring along, hehe. I might have to be quite selective! Any chance that this could get stickied? It sounds like a great event and doesn't deserve to wallow at in the depths of threads about events that are already come and gone ... not that there's anything wrong with those threads, but this ought to take priority, right?

Oh .. and can we have a Death Tank Zwei tournament on the Saturn as well? I'll bring along my copy of Vatlva as well, which is a fun multiplayer Saturn import.

THX: Your welcome to come visit over the weekend as there's a few staying and we'll have some drinks Friday night - drop me a line if you want to.

JollyFest is Deff on, We could use a few more TV's to increase the hands on experience but apart from that it's all fine and dandy.

Cheers Wibble
