Enjoying my first Ceegs in Wrocław! I had a workshop about my research into Czechoslovak pong clones and visited the Museum of Games and Computers of the Past. Lots of interesting panels and connections being made. I am already looking to future attendances.

I have purchased an intriguing console, the Multiplay 80. It is a home pong clone, but given it's size and unusual layout of the buttons, it probably doesn't run on the usual AY-3-8500 chip. It is now on its way from France.

All set up at KoprCon! I tried Steel Battalion after a long time, as a friend brought it to showcase. I think this is my eight time in this classroom!

Welcome all, folks! I am trying to get back into the mood of posting quality content after a long time of not seeing worth in it on the *other site*.

Finally scored a Tesla XD8000 home pong console. It was the last missing piece in the collection, the first model of a three revision lineage. The first Czechoslovak commercial game and one later leading to a unique integrated chip, which is usually reserved for the big players! No AY-3-8500 here :D

But yesterday some Amiga disks with unpreserved czech software showed up. And they imaged beautifully as opposed to the atari ones. Most of them were from a local group called MKCS and also coverdisks from the magazine Amiga Review. Picture is of two I have at work right now.
