DGS Atari 8-bit
compilation CD-ROM volume 2 Shiuming
Lai, 24 November 2002
Following our
five-star review of the DGS compilation CD-ROM
(issue 23), Dean Garraghty has released a second
disc packed with more software and goodies including
22 minutes of video footage from a show that
DGS attended. Our emulation man Matthew Preston
reports that this is very amusing. Hopefully
we'll have a full review soon.
As before, the
CD contains image files for use with emulators
or for transfer to the real thing. Price is
just $12 including shipping.

Retro Computer Show
There are plans here at SINTECH to make a big
8-Bit show here in Stuttgart, that's in the south of Germany. However, we need
some user-groups/clubs to assist us with this.
Planned is:
- A
computer-sales-range with several sellers from all over Europe.
- A
club-range where all the computer clubs/groups can show their offers and meet
their members as well as hopefully see many new users.
- A soccer-tournament
with teams for each computer.
All will be held in a big city hall over
here and there are showers for the soccer players. The field is just in front of
the hall, so not far away.
The location will be here in Filderstadt, 20
km south of Stuttgart (Airport). The date is the 03. - 04. May 2003. I ask all
people here for their comments, if they would like to come, any suggestions what
else to offer and if anybody is willing to help.
There will be a table fee
for the sellers and maybe a small entrance fee of 1 Euro.
Please write me
if there is a demand for such a meeting. We ask for C-64, Atari, Amstrad and
Spectrum-Users.
