Big OBEY in little Sweden

Ji-L87 · 11/10/2013, 08:05 AM

There is this game exhibition called "GAME ON 2.0" that Tekniska Museet (The Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology - lol, long name?!) is running at the moment. I went on the first day with a couple of friends - and it was pretty cool.

However, for true believers there were some nice OBEY to be found. which I think might be interesting for you guys.

The PC that was shown and running R-type sadly had a borked D-pad

On the other hand, Magical Chase was not only present but fully playable

Edit: MC ran on a separate (and hidden) unit with a much better controller.

Unsure which version of the game it was but it was pretty fun - though I only made it to stage 2.

Sorry for the crappy gameplay photos, the hall with the games was really cramped.

...or secretly hidden to hide the Everdrive. Regardless it's nice to know places like this showing pc-engine. Thanks for sharing!

Well, yeah, I don't get to share too much with you guys seeing as most action takes place in...pretty much everywhere else

A personal let down for me with this exhibition was that there was no Saturn. I wanted others to experience the glory (especially of the import scene). A number of PS1 & Dreamcasts strewn throughout tho'. To the left of Magical Chase was a Dreamcast running Trigger Heart Exelica.

Nice! Interesting smattering of games they have on display.

Are you sure? I don't own the game, but I think there may be some precoded gameplay showing after a while when left on the title screen or something like that. I was in any case also there and found that I couldn't control the game, but pressing the run button a few times solved it.

By the way, Peppcon in Uppsala had both Saturn and PC Engine.
^{Even the younger generation appreciates retro video games. Saturn (with Action Replay), PC Engine and Super Famicom are played here.}

Very sure. I could move left, right and a little up but not downwards. Made it very hard to dodge things like enemy bullets

Now that's more like it!

PeppCon, eh? I haven't been to Uppsala since the last UppCon and that's no more : < And some of my friends are looking for another convention to visit but we haven't had much luck with local events so far.

Peppcon was supposed to take over now that UppCon is no more. It wasn't as big though, but it's probably going to grow just like UppCon did over the years.
