LAG 94
LAG 94 - A nice retro filled day out
LAG 94 - A nice retro filled day out
So this weekend, I took a trip to the Licolnshire countryside with a mate of mine to have fun filled day of gaming and computing with like-minded geeks, nerd and enthusiasts. LAG (Lincs Amiga Group) is probably the most friendly and open meetup in the retro scene, one that I always enjoy the most.
Despite being an Amiga group, it's understood that we all like several different systems and take all sorts, so you'll see some variety here.
To top it off, Fred did an Amiga vs Atari ST talk about how the two companies, the rivalry an what happened to them - however, the fun bit was, Fred name dropped me and blamed me for convincing him to get an Atari ST .......... I don't mind, it was a good laugh, and some good banter
So, here's some pics of the event:
This was my setup - Amiga 500 & TheSpectrum, along with a load of controllers
Let's have a look at what else was there
