Is anyone attending Retro Fusion this year? I'm giving up some working days (which I am of course distraught about) in order to travel for seven hours down south and attend said event. Rare arcades and computer geekery! I can't wait.

Checked out their site and it looks like it might be fun, I'm a sucker for the old SNK games

Fuzzy-Felt Bloke (11/06/2008)
Can you actually play on these machines ?
You can indeed. A good amount of the money raised goes to charity too, which is a bonus. I am pretty excited (hence why I'm travelling for seven hours to check it out).

OK I have a little mission for you while you are there! I am trying to think of two games I saw on gamesmaster many years ago, the first one was a little like pac man except you moved your character around the streets of a town with a paint brush and he would leave a line of paint behind him as he went. The second one was like a Japanese button bashing game and the only bit of it I remember had your character stood on a set of train tracks and when the train arrived you had to hit the buttons as fast as you could to stop the train!
Would love to know what either of them was called??
