    Would be curious to see it.

    I'll be sure to set up the Ultimate 64 so everyone can take a look. I think it's a great little thing. I also have the DIVMMC Future for the Spectrum.

    Of course due to a printing error in Zzap!64 issue 30 the review scores for two games got mixed up.

    So, what's the story with the next Beers night?
    I believe there was a road trip suggestion to BGO's place.
    If postponed I'm happy to host one in the coming weeks.

    K, well, what about a get together in mine in the coming weeks?
    9th of June work for many people I wonder?
    Give me time to engage with the spider's union and arrange for them to take a sabbatical from infesting my gamesroom for the duration of the get together.

    I'm fairly new to this sub forum, but I'd be interested in some future events if possible. If it's a lot of poorly played retro games and talking shíte, then I'll fit in just fine :D
