Dragon Meetup - it's not long now!
Posted: Tue Nov 02, 2021 6:59 pm
It's not long now! So I thought I'd start a thread about what we're bringing, what we'd like to see and what's happening. There's a thread on Facebook too.
We thought the theme for this year could be 'software' - so bring all your games and utilities, all your floppies and tapes, stuff you've written, stuff you've collected. I'm sure we'll have plenty of stuff to set up a table for swaps too.
On Saturday night, after the museum has closed, Richard Harding is going to run a pub quiz to see how much we really know about our beloved machines, then it's off to the Devonshire Arms for good beer and pizzas (if enough people are around on Friday night, I can reserve a table for then too).
I'd like to run a high score competition - attach one of the Dragons to a big screen or projector for the weekend, and see who can get the highest score. Will a member of the public beat us? Any ideas for a fun fast paced game for this? (so no one hogs it too long).
Anyone got any other ideas for activities over the weekend?
I'm going to just stick all my Dragon stuff in the car, so I should be able to demonstrate a range of upgrades like the DragonPlus, CocoVGA, Mooh/Fuzix, SuperSpriteFM+ etc. If anyone wants me or anyone else to bring specific bits of hardware, please let me know!
