Heh, it wasn't a bad day actually, we left the venue and went straight to buy Rock Band! :D

Yeah, it's nothing to do with Retro Gamer themselves, it's Chris (Boyo)'s work.

They had some good systems there. And some Amstrads.

Yeah, but RG gets a mention and everyone has heard of RG whereas nobody has heard of the other people.

Actually it was the first time I'd seen a Mega PC in action. I imagine it gets more use as a Mega Drive than as a PC.

Does the Megadrive look good on an SVGA monitor? Although if it was an original monitor it's probably shot to bits by now.

Also, was the sound any good? Or was it typically Amstrad and tinny?

I didn't get that close to it but it looked a good enough picture to me. I don't think there was sound hooked up though or if it was, it was drowned out by eveything else. It was nice to see a couple of CD32s set up there too.

There's talk of a possible event in Stoke next year which will be even handier to get to.

If anyone fancies it and could fill in the questionnaire it could be a big help :)
