It was a really nice meet-up, I had a great time, and this was a great venue for it as well. Thanks for organising this event! <whispers>I was still the only game gear representative this year, where are the gg aficionados?! I love the game gear, but all mine needs to be repaired 😅🙈 I'll try get at least one repaired by next years event! 👍 I was considering bringing the one Peder gave me but thought Peder would already bring one of the hundreds that he owns! You're right though. I'm going to try get a new screen on mine and a everdrive for it soon.

Hi mate! Yeah long time indeed! How the hell are you mate? Thanks for taking the time to look thought my spreadsheet, it should be pretty much up to date. I'd love to get those manuals from you, but would be happy to buy them from you. I'll PM you . Cheers

Great day yesterday guys! I really enjoyed meeting you all. Just wish we had more time as I felt like I didn't spend enough time with some of you! It was really great finallyplaying Secret Command with Ian after our failed netplay attempt 12 years ago! And then Peder totally ruined me at Rampart! Loved every minute! Huge thanks to James and Ian for organising, and Simon for the T shirts. It was a brilliant venue and I can't wait to see you all again next year! 👍👍👍

Just to confirm I'll be attending this year! Looking forward to it. I will bring a SMS, everdrive, OSSC and and LCD TV. May also bring the handle controller and sports pad for a laugh if it's worth it?

That's an obvious one and one I spent ages looking for last year! Not sure how I missed it off my list... but yeah!
Are you going after the UPC sticker variations as well?

I think we've all disappeared for a bit at some point!
CJ (James) seems to be doing well these days, settled down with a family now. (I have him on Facebook which I never use but have a presence). He sold up his collection a while back. Not sure if he plays or collects these days.
I miss so many of the old folk too! I used to spend a lot of time talking with Onyx, CJ and Retroreserve. I sometimes wonder what they're up to.

These are the unique releases... obviously some of them were released in Europe under different variations:
Alf Astro Warrior (stand alone release) Captain Silver (Different artwork and missing 2 levels) F-16 Fighting Falcon (released under F16 Fighter in Europe) Great Ice Hockey Great Soccer (Released as World Soccer in Europe) Hang On / Astro Warrior (stand alone release - not pack-in) Hang On / Safari Hunt (stand alone release - not pack-in) James Buster Douglas Knockout Boxing (Released under Heavyweight Champ in Europe) King's Quest: Quest for the Crown Marksman Shooting / Trap Shooting (Released built into consoles and with Safari Hunt on Combo Cart in Europe) Montezuma's Revenge Featuring Panama Joe Rambo First Blood: Part II (Released under Secret Command in Europe) Reggie Jackson Baseball (Released under American Baseball in Europe) Sports Pad Football (Released under World Soccer in Europe) Walter Payton Football (Released under American Pro Football in Europe) Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? (Technically never released in Europe, but commonly found)
Although, if you want to talk major variations there's also these:
Bomber Raid (Activision Black) Rampage (Activison Red) Cyborg Hunter (Activation Black) Galaxy Force (Activision Silver)
Although I'm pretty sure you have all of those already.

I think it was originally this year, but I know from Allan's facebook page that he's really busy just now and time is marching on now. As we get closer to winter I doubt there will be as much appetite. If there's nothing happening soon we may have to plan something for next year.

Sounds good, I should actually be able to make this one! We could do it in a somewhere like rcade? (https://www.rcadeglasgow.com/) - that might take the headache out of finding a venue? If you do come up I'd also love to visit Forgotten Worlds in Stewarton. Maybe I if you're here I would finally have an excuse.
