Events in TASF - a Danish arcade association

[Svovl]

Disclaimer: This post may only really be relevant to people in (or close by) Denmark.

We are a group of arcade enthusiasts in Aarhus, Denmark who have established a local arcade association.
It's called "Trøjborg Arkadespilforening" (TASF) which translates to "Trøjborg Arcade Game Association" – Trøjborg being the neighborhood of Aarhus where the association is founded.

The goal of the association is to nurture and spread the interest in arcade games, by having events that are both for enthusiasts and "regular people"
Our headquarters is in a corner of a local maker-space called Open Space Aarhus where we have a couple of machines, here are three of them:

And just in front of those we have a Versus City that will soon be up and running !

Every last Wednesday of the month we host an open get-together where we have some sort of theme or event.
The last Wednesday of May we have been given the permission to show "100 Yen: The Japanese Arcade Experience" and we will hopefully get to inaugurate our Versus City with some Third Strike. Everyone is welcome!

This is our flyer for the event (in Danish)


If some of you should be close by Aarhus the event will take place in Open Space Aarhus, Bryggervej 30, 8240 Aarhus N.
And there is a guide to find the place here: http://openspaceaarhus.dk/wiki/index.php/Location

The event of the month will feature a Deathsmiles co-op competition and a presentation of the scoring system in the game.
There will be more shmups to play, and our Versus will (as always) offer some 3rd Strike!

Here's the (Danish) flyer for the event:


If some of you should be close by Aarhus the event will take place Wednesday the 26th of June starting at 18h in Open Space Aarhus, Bryggervej 30, 8240 Aarhus N.

This week in the main library of Aarhus:



We have lent out our machines for the whole week and will be giving presentations on arcade gaming and doing tournaments.

One of our posters for the event:

Lovely cabs. Looks like a great event.

+1. Any librarians hang around the cabinets going - "shhhhhhhhhhhh!" when people play them?

Good to see the Versus up and running in his familiar habitat around other relatives

The librarians were very happy about the machines and are actually considering buying some for the library!

It was quite a success. We had two machines there for the follow three weeks after with Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder and Progear and they were quite popular.
Many visitors had commented how cool it was to play arcade games on actual arcade cabs



Unfortunately the marquee light on one of the Astros died during transport.
And they did get something to sit on in front of them too

Very nice dude, I hope you can keep making this king of events!

The organization that hosts us have moved to new and more central facilities.
We have moved with them, and now we will have opening hours every Wednesday from 16.30 at Katrinebjergvej 105, 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark.

Should you drop by Aarhus, feel free to visit us in our opening hours, or contact us here, on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/trojborgarkadespilforening), Twitter (https://twitter.com/tasfdk) or by mail (kontakt@tasf.dk) and arrange a visit.

We currently have 5 machines: 2 Astro City, 1 Aero City, 1 Egret 2 and a Sega Versus City permanently with 3rd Strike installed

We've just acquired a new game that we are quite proud of (original pcb of course).
