We had a total blast!
Machines in attendance from Matt Martin:
- C64 with RPi3 brains
- Amiga 500 with RPi3 brains
- Playstation 3 HDMI monitor for C64 and Amiga 500
- Absolutely mint Apple iigs (gorgeous screen!)
Machines from Eric Hill:
- Amiga 1000 Phoenix
- Amiga 1080 monitor
- Amiga 1000 Rejuvenator Board
- Amiga 1000 fan replacement contender
We fired up games, loaded demoes, dialed into ParticlesBBS off the A500/Pi3 and most important talked about everything. Pizza and local beer was close at hand, too, to keep the energy flowing.
Awesome time! Next meet is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, June 13, 2018. Same times, same location.
For June I’ll bring two brothers from a different mother (or father, I guess): the Atari Mega ST 2 and my true (computer) love, the Amiga 1000 (which happens to have the Rejuvenator w/3.1 KS and a Wicher 500i with 8MB FAST and CF card). They are so much fun to compare and contrast.
Maybe we can get them connected with a null modem cable for some hot cross-platform Stunt Car Racer multiplayer action!
That sounds excellent! I might bring the C64 out of the closet and show some of the games I picked up last year (which are REALLY good).
