Hi,

that would be nice to meet others GP32 owners ... I shall attend on the Sunday 25th anyway, so it could be possible (think that more than 2 would be better).

I was thinking of coming along to that too, although I'm not sure what my plans are yet, I'll let you know...

Hi,

would it not be more convenient to agree on a date and time ?

 

[Shirohagen]

Well I am going for a reduced price ticket through the Retro Gamer offer, so I'll be there on Sunday.

[Antiriad]

date and time...good point. I can say ill be there all day both days what with the small Amiga stand.

Up to you lot.

Actually wondering whether to bring the GP32 along actually, dont want to lose it or anything.

 

[Shirohagen]

My GP32 is back at GBAX for now so I can't bring it but if anyone has theirs it would be interesting to see what setup people have chosen etc. Not to mention seeing the multiplayer in action...?

Anyway, I'm mostly looking forward to wandering about and seeing what's there, maybe picking up something for the C64 I have recently set up again at home.

Antiriad - I'm a fellow graphics person and liked your splash screens etc so it would be cool to meet you if you're about, I'd love to do graphics for the GP32 community as I can't code...

Hi,

sorry guys, but I have turned a bit late I guess (at 16h00 on Sunday) due to a dimwitt who attacked me on my way to the Fairfield. Anyway, I did not see any of you, but I have bought an Amiga, which turned to be one of the thing I wanted to buy.

If you want, we could organize a weekly or monthly meeting at some point to be able to get in touch.

 

[Shirohagen]

Sorry to have missed you Velvet, I went along today too and met Antiriad for a chat as well as the Retrogamer guys. I was pretty impressed by the expo it was really cool and hopefully will go from strength to strength in years to come. I also bought a few C64 games to keep me going as well as loading up on free badges and lollipops!...

...saw a real live C65 but never did get a go on the Virtual Boy...

Is there anything like this for the US? I am really a classic gaming fan. However, my ideal of classic probably differs from the older gamers. NES and SNES was the systems that I grew up with so I consider them classics. Anything older I have not really played.

SephirothIce: The CG Expo originated in the US! You can find out about it at www.cgexpo.com it looks like its next month...
