[Freshmaker]

Amazing!!! Suddenly this World Cup raised it values by 100''s of percents!!! Looking forward to seeing you guys again. We need to to to the Rox though, and see if Ditte is still working.

You’re gonna have to fight me for last place.

I hate to break it to you, guys, but I'm fairly confident that last place will be taken by somebody called... Vella!

[Giuliano]

A lot of People want to be the last hahahaha

I hope that the last will not me

Hi guys! Looking forward to see all of you in Nottingham.

Same here! It's amazing that no less than 6 players from the original Dartford World Cup will be present. Steve, Robert, Jacob, James, Vasilis and me. We're still here, 23 years later! Too bad Klaus will miss it, we would have been seven.

Argh, can't find the old Zipsticks!! Have an Atari controller that will work. But probably gonna MacGyver something better tomorrow out of some parts I have.

I did find plenty of other controllers in my search through the loft though.

2 x N64

2 x Dreamcast, plus the fishing rod controller. Also 2 Dreamcast consoles, no idea when, how or why I've ended up with 2 of them

2 x PC Steering wheel and pedal sets

2 x Megadrive

1 x SNES

3 x Atari VCS as well as Paddles and keyboard controllers

1 x Sega Saturn

2 x PC joypads

1 x PC flight stick.

Yeah, looking forward to seeing you too.

As for the joystick saga. I had some parts, I've made one up but have only been able to test with a multi-meter.

Found an Amiga and connected it to a monitor. All works but no game disks anywhere, so can't test anything.

Megadrive has games and power but no video connector.

Atari VCS has everything except game cartridges.

Finally found a Colecovision, which has power, video cables and games. Found old portable telly, connected it all up but no remote control, so can't tune it!

So I'm coming with a home made joystick that hasn't been tested! I have confidence that it'll work though. Less confident in my Kick Off abilities, must be about 14 or 15 years since I last played!

Hope you have a great time! Enjoy your time and looking forward to seeing you in Torremolinos in future gatherings!

Cya soon!
