Retro meeting in Edinburgh

Organizers of Edinburgh Retro PC club on January 20, are holding an exhibition dedicated to retro computers like Atari and ZX Spectrum.

The initiative is the concept of George Tingle. As he said in interview to resource Scotsman: "I would love it if this became a meeting place for like-minded enthusiasts who love everything retro computer-wise. There is a wealth of fun and interest in collecting, restoring, programming and playing old 1980s and 90s computers. Some are very rare and highly collectable – prices vary from £35 to £3000 for some of the rarer models. Our members are few at the moment, but hopefully the word will soon spread. The Replay event in Blackpool is attended by thousands, and is highly regarded by specialists willing to pay tribute to the games and computers which today’s technologies are very much based on."

"There is nothing similar to this in Scotland, all the big events are held down south. “But I do believe that there is a lot of interest." - added mister Tingle.

Information about the club can be found on their new web site: http://edinburghretropc.co.uk/ , in Facebook profile https://www.facebook.com/pages/Edinburgh-Retro-PC/314578715248971 or Youtube channel www.youtube.com/user/EdinburghRetroPC

SIDBlaster

A great device developed by Sergey Bagan (Prusak) and Alexander Alexandrow (Byteman). This sound card is capable of play and C64 sid-modules. It has GeneralSound-like ideology and can be connected to any Spectrum model.

Until the card is in development, you can already see and hear the results of its work on the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcgP85Vtnn0

C-jeff - Preschtale

New album of speccy musician artist C-jeff - "Preschtale". The music itself chiptune-style, not from Spectrum, but fans will appreciate the "warm beeper notes."

Generally,the album just super!

Playsmartgames

Another site with everyday games collection for many platforms. Not quite clear why we need one more, but what is interesting, there exists ZX Spectrum section, a database which is daily adding new (old) titles. So we can safely mark it as a "living" Speccy-resource.

We wish them good luck!
