I don't see enough Amiga action in those photos.

There was a fair bit A1200 love at the last one, someone had an 040 machine playing Pinball Fantasies.

Best geek out moment for me was the home brew 20mhz Sam Coupe accelerator some bloke brought along. It played lemmings at Amiga speeds and emulated a Vic 20 at full speed :D

Yep, the Sam Coupe accelerator was wicked all put together by a very clever chap Colin.

@Gareth - Amiga's are usually there though since there tends to only be about 1/2 dozen who are able to bring stuff we tend to mix and match each club night. Heck, my Mame cab even made an appearance a few months back.

As Gary says though it's a whole heap of fun and they're a great bunch of guys.

Haha ha ha!

To be fair Steve, if Gaz can train it from Dundee it must doable from Glenrothes.

I don't think anything's doable in Glenrothes.

Dude, Markinch practically is in Glenrothes.

The closest station to me is Dundee central , 7 miles away from where I live in Monifieth. If I can make it mid week you should be able to shouldn't you? :D

Sadly Steve with many of us having kids and wives working shifts a weekend event is massively unlikely.

I completely forgot about this. I should be along at the next meet though. I'll probably bring the Jag and T2K along with me too.
