Tyrant Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I don't wanna give any details to MSN tho, got a big grudge against them To me X-Box and Halo are nothing special, I will get any games I really want when the greedy corp releases them on PC.I give up.

Nick Harlow Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I think the idea of a show is brilliant and I would be very happy to attend, just joined the mail list. Nick of 16/32 Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaztee Posted January 22, 2003 Author Share Posted January 22, 2003 Hi Guys, I recieved this email yesturday Hello, I write the Retro_Mart column, and would love to cover this event for Micro Mart magazine! PLEASE keep me informed on any further developments. Would it also be possible to have a "Retro Games" sub section, maybe a table or two - this would attract more people, even if it has to be Atari only! I have one or two Atari items possibly for show. Shaun. Well, looks like word is spreading quickly! What about a retro atari section then? Ideas?? l8r Gaztee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 This is all coming together nicely... we just need 3 things I can think of... A Venue... nothing much can happen without somewhere for it to happen in, everyone please search for cheap places in your area, if we're not expecting to hav *that* many people it dosnt need to be huge. An organiser... I set up the website, but I really dont want to be in charge of planning the whole thing, I'd be happy to do quite a lot of the organising, but we really should get one or two people who are willing and able to take on the chalange of running an event like this. A logo... very silly but a nice logo is important... Oh, and great news that 16/32 systems will be there, is anyone else coming to sell stuff apart from me? I quite like the idea of having retro people from other systems come too, the more people who come, the cheaper the room will be, and it'd be nice to convert some people . What does everyone else think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does everyone else think? Could lead to some interesting arguments/debates ie System X is better than system Y because.... Ah the old ST Amiga Days Those arguments have never ended: XBOX vs PS2 vs GC ATI vs nVidia Mac vs PC AMD vs Intel Linux vs Windows You can spend all day on message boards arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Why not go to the show and just hanve fun? Networked BattleSphere Should keep you occupied. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will bring 2 JAG's catbox, 2x jaglink and a lot of gamez.... I hope you guys can get 16 copies up and running. It would be the world's record. It would be so cool to know that it does really work. We never were able to get enough hardware together to test it at the max. the most we ever had while coding was 8 I believe. The current record is 12 working together. You have to beat that.
