What an amazing day at Nottingham Video Games Expo. We reminisced with some (very) old friends, met lots of lovely new ones and got to interview Roland Perry for a different audience. Can't wait for the next VGE event, keep an eye on their socials for more!!

Just as well we recorded it then, eh!

Come and see us, along with Xyphoe, Roland Perry and more. Not long now!

On Saturday 18th July I'll be a guest at the Nottingham Video Games Expo alongside a large Amstrad presence! Including the legendary father of the Amstrad CPC - ROLAND PERRY! And the UKAG (UK Amstrad Group) who will also be there too! I will be hosting a "Pinball Dreams" tournament on my very own CPC 6128!

A whole area of the event has been put aside to be dedicated to the Amstrad just for this! And just confirmed but not officially announced yet, there will be a trader joining us there too bringing up lots of rare Amstrad cassettes, disks and other goodies!

Quite a few of the Amstream community are already coming down, it would be great to make this an Amstrad/Amstream 'meet up'! Who knows? This could become an annual thing?

The event takes place at the Crowne Plaza hotel in the centre of Nottingham and more details can be found here 👉 https://www.nottsvge.com/
Other guests include Gary Bracey of Ocean Software, Ian Stewart of Gremlin, Kev Bayliss of Rare ... and the Arcade Club will be bringing down their arcade cabs too!

AND! You can get get 20% off your tickets with code XYPHOE!

So. Cool.

Our Amstrad meetup was so successful we've decided to do it all over again - and hit the road!

The fab VGE Events have invited us along to their Nottingham event to bring our Amstrad computers with us :D Also there are retro royalty Roland Perry and Xyphoe!

If you couldn't make it down to Surrey, then perhaps we'll see you in the home of Robin Hood.

🕹We are proud to be partnering with the awesome UKAG at Nottingham Video Games Expo - 18th July

We'll be hosting UKAG's meet up, which will include Xyphoe running a pinball dreams tournament, an exhibition of classic computers by Perry himself!

As well as this, if you want to exhibit your amstrads or amstrad projects, contact us for availability
