Replay

[geekgirl101]

Did anyone else go to Replay this year in Blackpool?

Incase you're wondering what Replay is it's a retro geek's dream. Hundreds of consoles from the very first Pong machine all the way to modern day consoles, pinball machines and arcade machines, and all playable. This years' was much bigger than last years', we had a bunch of speakers from various companies too such as Ocean and Imagine who spoke about how their companies started and ended. And there was a demonstration of a recently produced Spectrum 128K game, not talking emulation here but an official game release.

I missed that sadly, no transport :(

I have been reading about some of the guys from Retro Asylum (http://retroasylum.com) going to the expo with videos, photos, and even a podcast talking about it.

It looked like a really cool event seeing the old computers, handhelds and consoles, one photo I saw is that somebody did a Specadore 64 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v661/Swainy_boy/65c67a2d.jpg), which looks like a fusion between a Spectrum and a Commodore. :p

That looks cool

Seeing that it's in a carpeted room that Specadore 64 might've been with the collection of old games computers and consoles that had been stripped down to a circuit board the size of a credit card, shoved into a clear protective case, and running perfectly fine, and other systems that had been made into an actual PC. There was also a collection of the various Spectrums in the same room.

Was a fantastic weekend with so much to see and do. Was also the first time I'd done anything like sitting on a stall before.
