We’ve been talking about this for far too long now so it’s about time it was organised. Here’s what I’m thinking and what’s been discussed so far:

  • A weekend around the end of January (2007). It’ll be Saturday night as some of us will have to travel back to Bolton for this.
  • Venue TBC – obviously the Rawson isn’t possible any more :( Some ideas here would be great. Anyone friendly with any landlords that have a function room and would be up for a lock-in?
  • Hardware restrictions. I’m thinking P5 (so nothing above Pentium MMX) with a Voodoo 2 (or two). DOSBox has been mentioned as an option, but I don’t think it’d be half as much fun.
  • Games – Quake (1 and 2), Duke 3D, Moto Racer, Motorhead, Doom, Magic Carpet, and so on.

I’m pretty sure that between us we have enough spare old kit to help people out if they’re stuck. Let’s do this!

I’m up for this, got a nice P166MMX waiting and various old bits of hardware, if anyone needs gfx cards or other stuff give me a shout!
