I'm having a rethink of my table for @computinghistory.org.uk's Retro Computing Festival - so to keep with their Gaming Edition theme, I'm going for this ... "The Glorious Galaxy of Green Gaming" (working title) to celebrate everyone's favourite primary colour and it's role in Dragon games ... 1/3

You should be able to pay on the door - but equally there's a risk we might sell out. If you can pre-book, we would recommend you do.

The exhibitors are telling us what they're bringing to the RCF - and, wow, what a line up! PDPs and oscilloscopes from the dawn of gaming to brand new projects for the Sega Mega Drive - and into the future with the Spectrum Next! Tickets are selling fast - www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/74558/re...
