Just got back from PlayExpo at Manchester's EventCity. This is an annual event for modern and retro gaming + Cosplay.
My son had been asked to go with a friend, and he suggested I come along too. Fantastic idea!
There were tables and tables of Sega Megadrives, Master systems, Atari 2600/800XL, C64, Intellivision, Vectrex etc etc. on free play.
My favourite was the retro arcade section. They had brought in loads of old arcade machines to play:
Defender, a personal favourite of mine:
My oldest checking out a classic:
And a modern silliness, virtual horse racing with Oculus Rift:
More retro goodness, Crystal Castles:
I had the chance to have a brief chat with Jeff Minter, I met him in the mid 80's when I was freelancing for Red Rat Software. I remember him as being a really nice guy then, and the years have not changed him. He took time to talk to me about the old 8 bit days of software development. Compulsory (unflattering) selfie:
And some not quite retro-retro:
