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.
Great video of a fantastic event, thanks for including my little ol stand in there, Cheers! It was the first time I participated with a stand, usually I'm doing a talk or a QA so got to experience how much work goes into attending one of these events as a trader/exhibitor. Very much looking forward to the next one that's for sure!
Great little video was lots of hard work hope everybody enjoyed this show and many apologies I didn't get to chat to you too much but still good to see you there, Retro Robbins
@@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 🤩🤩🤩
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! 👍🏻😎
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!
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! 😀
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!
That video was great except for one thing. Not one sighting of Chris Wilkins. Obviously, with everyone else working their fingers to the bone, it gave him plenty of time to sit with his feet up and have a cuppa. ;)
Wish I could have been there. Thanks for filming this. Another retro event I can't get to because of my job. Can't get to Zzap in August because it's high holiday season, and can't get to Crash in November because it's Christmas pressure season. Managed to get to Crash last year because I was lucky it fell on my rotating day off, (sat next to you in the Speccy Next talk.) Lovely, smooth footage again .. gotta love that DJI pocket. I've bought one since seeing yours in action. 😁👍
I remember, Steve. It was a real pleasure to meet you! This was a great event. Tons of unusual systems that I’ve never seen before and a fantastic Vectrex area. Yes, that DJI is a fantastic little camera isn’t it? Glad you managed to get one! It’s a real shame you can’t make the others events. I’m hoping to go so, if I’m able, I’ll record them again so you can live them vicariously through me!😎🕹️👍🏻
@@SpectrumNez It is great to see what I'm missing in video form, but can't shake that 'ache' of missing out on the experience of being there. I picked up the Pocket 2, (3 was a bit overpriced for comfort.) Quite hard to get hold of, but there was a white one available, still new, with the kit I was after, so I went for that. I managed to get tickets for the London Gaming Market on June 30th. Probably mostly buying and selling but still a retro event. It's on a Sunday and I don't work Sundays (despite my employers' efforts to change my permanent contract - good old union! ✊) I'll be there with my step-son. He's a 90s kid but loves the 70s and 80s stuff.
I never finished it either and I didn’t really know what I was supposed to be doing, if I’m honest. I still enjoyed wandering around though. It had a really nice, magical feel to it. 🕹️👍🏻
Crumbs! I don’t know I’m afraid. Too long ago for me to remember! Sorry! If they’ve got them at the next Crash event, I’ll seek out what they are and come back to you. 👍
Fairlight was one of many games I really enjoyed playing even if i didn't know what he fuck i was doing. I doubt many people finished this at the time, none of my friends did.
"Fairlight" received very few coverage here in France, first and mainly because the Speccy wasn't a fan-favorite in the specialized media (the Amstrad's being the 8bit leader) second maybe because it looked a bit too much like previous "3D isometric" essays (one word: "Knight Lore") and our very own French "Crafton et Xunk" (which was a blast on... Amstrads). Watching YT vids from the Sinclair enthusiasts, it gives me the impression the Sinclair offerings have been highly underrated.
So Amstrad was the leader in France? Wow - that’s totally different to the UK. The CPC always lagged behind both the Speccy and C64, although it had some amazing games. (Gryzor comes to mind). We had ‘Crafton et Xunk’ here too but it was called ‘Get Dexter’. It looks like a lovely looking game! It’s a pity Fairlight didn’t get the coverage it deserved over there. Such a good game. I spent countless hours playing it back in the day. I thought it was magical!
What a pity. Did not know this was being organised. Does anyone know a link or something-something to keep updated if and when a second time is planned? Thanks!
@SpectrumNez fairlight. Yes couldn't make it up the tower without the key. Great to manipulate stuff within the game to. Picking up, putting down, pushing, stacking, wow.
12 битовый палитра, по любому будет круче 4 битовой. Может это даже сделаю Я. Схема есть, есть понимание как, и что делать и как программировать. Подключатся будет к краевому разъёму Спектрума. Можно туда ещё добавить контроллер ps/2 pc клавиатуры и спектрумовскую Кемпстон- мышь. Мне бы такой девайс был бы интересен и сейчас.
@@MoonMonster1978 У меня нет никакой другой информации, кроме того, что сказала команда Next на недавнем мероприятии Crash Live: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--2UribsWZUQ.htmlsi=oAy6wlYpMIGTfVN3 У меня есть первое издание Next, и это великолепная машина. 🕹️👍🏻
I just shared your Crash Live video on the official Spectrum Next facebook group. Not sure if you're in that, but I haven't seen the video shared there yet, so went for it. 👍
Nice bumping into you yesterday (in the Spectrum Show talk). That's some nice footage. I recorded some on my phone but it came out quite badly. What camera are you using, if you don't mind me asking? I'm after something for walking around with.
Hi Steve! Yes, it was great bumping into you too. Sorry to hear about the footage. I’m using a DJI Pocket 2. They’ve just released a mode 3 too but it’s expensive!
It's by Matt Langley - A special "Crash" edition of a game otherwise called Cave Rescue. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XeYH8F4xuE8.html
