Great! Something to look forward to! If you see me at next years event, come and say “Hello!”. I’m easy to spot, I look exactly the same as my avatar!😂

I don’t know if I caught it on the video but there was a Dropzone arcade cab there too! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! 🕹️👍🏻

I know! The atmosphere when this clip was shown was electric! I heard people audibly gasp! 😍🕹️👌

By the truckload! 😎 Thanks for watching! 👍🏻

@SpectrumNez It was a pleasure to watch!

Totally agree! I hope these events go on forever! It’s great that we can all just get together, meet new people, discuss our fond memories of these systems and have a jolly good time! 🕹️👍🏻

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, Side Swipe! looks pretty awesome and the Ant Attack 2 reveal was extremely well received! Looking forward to getting my hands on both of these at some point! 🕹️👍🏻

No problem! Hope you enjoyed it! The music is from the Speccy version of Golden Axe! 🕹️👍🏻

It was fantastic to see you again mate! I never got to show you The Portal War game that I’m doing the music for! Next time! 👍🏻 The 10 Liner thing is awesome! Some really impressive stuff going on there. I wish I could remember all that stuff. I might have to have a refresher! See you soon buddy. If you need me for anything, you know where I am. 🙏🏻👍🏻

Great to hear! I think everyone who attended would say the same! 🕹️👌

It is amazing that so many people still have so much love for the humble little Speccy! Some of the games being created for it these days are just mind blowing!

Thanks! Appreciate that! Probably not for this specific event. The closest one to you might be the Play Blackpool event. It’s on the other side but closer than travelling to the midlands! Thanks for watching! 👍🏻

@SpectrumNez Thanks, I've not been to Blackpool since I was a kid lol

@stewsretroreviews Play Blackpool is great. Absolutely MASSIVE event with tons of old systems and arcade machines to play on. Definitely keep an eye out for it! www.playexpoblackpool.com/

Howdy! Yes, it was another fantastic event wasn’t it? I do both ZZAP and CRASH as well. They’re both brilliant days out. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching! 😎👍🏻

Crumbs! There are people that I spoke to that spent 6 hours getting there! They came down the day before and stayed over. Maybe that could be an option if it becomes a 2 day event? Have you been to Play Blackpool? That’s always a pretty good event!

Yeah, I tried to get on R-Type and couldn’t! I hear you about the traders. I think that’s a limitation of the venue size. I guess there’s only so much you can fit into a space that size! It’s understandable that the Speccy still has the pulling power. It’s such a great little machine and the new ‘The Spectrum’ was really popular there wasn’t it? It was selling like hot cakes! Mine arrives tomorrow. Can’t wait!

Oh no! Yes, definitely keep an eye out! There’s 2 events a year at this venue. A Commodore based ZZAP event and a Sinclair based CRASH event. 👍🏻

@@SpectrumNez I live in Coventry and knew nothing about this as well.

@andrejeffries2421 I think you get get info from the Facebook page. I usually get an email because I’m on the mailing list now. I’ll ask around and see if there’s a central place where the event info is posted. 👍🏻

Nah - not at all! The organisers run a Commodore based ZZAP event earlier in the year. This CRASH event was Sinclair based. Sorry to hear about The Spectrum. Maybe a cheap flight, pick one up and then fly back? 😉

@@SpectrumNez Hmm, actually not a bad idea! Maybe I can bribe the missus with some holiday shopping at the same time ;) Anyway, thanks for the nice video and keeping our childhood memories alive!

See! Anything is possible! 😎 Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

Get out! 😂😂😂

It was fab! There’s always a large selection of machines to play on! You should definitely try and attend one, you’d love it! There’s the ZZAP event earlier on in the year, which is Commodore based and then the CRASH event towards the end of the year which is Sinclair based. 👍🏻

Thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🕹️👍🏻

It was fantastic, bud! You’ll have to come to the dark side someday and visit the Speccy event. I’m sure you’d love it! 😎

Hi Steve. I did keep an eye out for you whilst I was there! Shame you couldn’t make it. There’s always next year! That’s why I make this little videos so that people who can’t make it can get a taster of the atmosphere and what’s there. I stayed with the DJI Pocket 2. The 3 is too big for my liking. The 2 is much more pocketable.

Glad you enjoyed it! If you go to next year’s event, find me and come and say “Hello!”. You can’t miss me, I look exactly the same as my avatar! 😂

You should come over and make a trip of it! (Especially if it turns into a 2 day event). You’d love it! My ‘The Spectrum’ arrives on Monday. I was very tempted to buy another one at the event, but I was a good boy and resisted!

@@SpectrumNez Now you got me really excited.

There’s a glimpse of someone playing Manic Miner on a SAM Coupé at the 8:34 mark. 🕹️👍🏻 Sounds like it should be ok if you’ve kept it in all that packaging. Probably worth a pretty penny too! 😎

@@SpectrumNez Ah yep, not sure how I missed that! Thanks. I have a bunch of peripherals too, including Kaleidoscope, 1MB external RAM card, printer module and the extension card. I went all in at the time 😅

@@cynewulf1 I’d have done the same if I had the money but, alas, I was still a child when it came out. I remember all the magazine adverts for it and it looked awesome, if a peculiar shape!😂

@@SpectrumNez I remember my Dad getting the sales brochure for the Coupe at the time and then balked at the price. So that was that.

Greetings! The Crash Live! events really are fantastic! I believe there’s possibly talk of making it a 2 day event. You could fly over and make a weekend of it! ✈️

Great! Say “Hello” if you spot me! 🕹️👍🏻

It’s such a good game and the Amstrad version is excellent! Just like the arcade! 🕹️👍🏻

I’m not surprised with the amount of play testing that’s been done!

That is, pretty much, exactly what it is! It’s free too, so go and grab it if you haven’t already! 🕹️👌

It was fab!

@@SpectrumNez would love to go at some point.

The next event is the Speccy based Crash Live on Saturday 24th November 2024 www.tickettailor.com/events/fusionretrobooks/1363344

It was, indeed, a great day! It’s always a nice surprise to see yourself in other videos! I’ve spotted myself in some of the other that were filmed too! “Look Mom, I’m on TV!” 😂

The Amiga was/is an amazing computer. I still remember the first time I walked past a Tandy shop and heard this amazing panpipe music coming from inside. I went in to discover Shadow of the Beast playing through a sound system and my jaw hit the floor. Amazing stuff! 😎

@@SpectrumNez It still boils my pee how Commodore US killed such an amazing set of computers and refused to sell to Commodore UK who wanted to push on with it.

Thanks Stoo! It was great to bump into you and have a chat. Your pixel work is awesome! Glad you enjoyed the day! 🕹️👍🏻

I believe it’s a new one that’s being developed! You can see more over at Chris Wilkins' Facebook page here👇 facebook.com/chris.wilkins.739 🕹️👍🏻

thx for enlightment, although it looks great but steam/win? no, i'm retro - so i'm out!

Thanks Wayne! It was a fantastic event. I did see you but you looked mega busy so I didn’t want to interrupt you. I’ll see you at Crash live! 😎👍🏻

@@SpectrumNez never too busy to have time to chat to you my friend z80 fan man me lol 6502 is a nice distraction but my first love is spectrum so looking forward to seeing you at crash live 🤩🤩🤩

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 👍🏻😎

It really is a great day out and it’s nice that people who don’t know each other can just meet and make friends and talk about our old computer experiences! Magic! 👍🏻😎

Glad you had a great time! It was pretty awesome! 😎👍🏻

Yep! He was there all day signing books and then doing a talk! 👍🏻😎

It certainly was! You did an excellent job too, Iain! 👍🏻😎

@@SpectrumNez Thank you! Just writing about it for Retro Gamer

Thanks! You spotted him on the video then? I wondered if anyone would! 😉

@@SpectrumNez yep, sadly all too briefly. Hopefully someone capture some game play. Would love to see it.

Thanks for watching! It was a great day. It wasn’t on the video but I walked past Jeff Minter in the corridor and he had an Apple Vision Pro strapped to his face and he looked really spaced out! Made me chuckle!

@@SpectrumNez Virtual Yak :-)

You’ll have to come down for one and make a weekend of it! Some people fly in from other countries to come to these events! 😮

I came down from Scotland via train on the Friday night, about five hour journey. Not that bad to be honest. Back home yesterday afternoon. Was worth the travel, great event! 😀

@marksherman73 Blimey! That is dedication! Good man! Glad you enjoyed it! It was a fabulous event!😎👍🏻

@@SpectrumNez yes it was! I’ll def try and go to the Crash event in November 👍

@marksherman73 Cool! I’ll see you there. Come and say hello. I look exactly the same as my avatar!😂

Thanks for watching! Really appreciate it!

Thanks! It was really good. I tried to capture every machine there so people that couldn’t make it could get the idea of the range of machines to play on!

Hahaha! I think I did see him lounging around somewhere with his feet up, barking orders at people! 😂

@@SpectrumNez Typical. 🤣🤣

It was a really good day. Loads of machines and loads of people to talk to. Looking for to the Speccy based CRASH event in November now!

Ha! Yeah, that’s what’s nice about these events. The names from back in the day just mingle with us plebs! 😎👍🏻
