Retro Gathering is a general gaming and computing meet, ranging from the 1970's Pong to the early 1990's game consoles.

As well as exhibitions and demonstrations, there will be a lot of selling and swapping going on.

I never heard of it.
What is it, exactly? It's also possible to buy stuff? There is Vic-20 stuff too?
But it could be a good opportunity to visit Stockholm next year...

Yes, a big part of Retrogathering is buying and selling stuff. Not sure about how much Vic-20 stuff though, though there's quite a few enthusiasts in the crew (myself and carlsson at least).

..and what about the Sinclair ZX Spectrum? This could be enough for me to buy the flight ticket...

YAY! Thanks a lot, pal. I'll keep an eye on the gathering for the next year, then!

Yes it could...

I had a bunch of games for the Speccy that no-one wanted to buy. Not even for ~1€ a piece.

Hey Zeela, your "humble collection" is really somthing impressive! How do you find the time to use/maintain all those old computers?

TBCVIC · Post by **TBCVIC** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:13 pm

Hehe, Zeela's stuff got their own apartment you know

Zeela · Post by **Zeela** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:20 pm

Yep, they got a nice little apartment.

I rent a one room apartment as a storage place. (We don't have any housing shortage here in the tiny town where I live)

But I don't have the time I'd like to have for using all my stuff.
When I moved the collection to the apartment I made sure I got room for a little gaming corner so I can have at least one machine up and running... Then I just switch around so some of the machines gets used.

But mainly my collection is a feast for the eyes...
