Cyber Legends 2024 Questions and discussion

[jwd]

lovely to see you all again and the 'round table discussion' was great to get everyone's views on the Atari scene atm.

@stephen_usher as mentioned by others, superb demo and kit you presented, i hope to see you and that demo again at the Cambridge event in Nov too!

Apologies but I can't remember the tag of who i got the Iilyama monitor from (and the Bluetooth keyboard freebies) , so many thanks and I hope you can finally sort out what's wrong with your falcon with the help of the Joy demo.

Smaller turnout than last time but some extenuating circumstances by all this year, i'm sure next year we can get the word out sooner, far and wide and make it popular event amongst all retro fans.

From the 'round table discussions' - what was the general consensus of the scene at the moment?

There's a lot to consider in terms of keeping it alive, the different elements of what users and developers do/want and general direction of technology and keeping the old and the new.

I started drawing it all out last year, I'll try and find my sketch!

Hello!
It was lovely to meet you all this afternoon, even if it was very brief!

What a shady bunch of ne'er do wells!

I'm glad a good time was had by all, what a pity the numbers were down.

The new location looks excellent, however.

Bravo zulu to the organising team!

Out of interest, was there a winner for the raffle?

@mrbombermillzy and I have yet to sync up after the event to draw a winner. As soon as we do we’ll post the winner here.

I just want to reinforce what has been said here really, as I am a tad late to the after party thoughts part of the thread.

It was great to see those of you who did manage to make it.

I guess the resultant atmosphere made it a far more chilled and personal affair.

I was thrilled to be able to actually hold a conversation for more than a minute without having to check up on something.

@stephen_usher did us proud with his display, which (hopefully) took some of the attention away from my faulty C64 setup.

It seemed we all had a great time and @Icky s presentation ended rolling into a technical discussion about the general ST scene and where we all thought it was headed. Some great insights. And thanks to Icky for the news about the game releases. I would never have known.

I hope all who attended enjoyed the cosy atmosphere as much as I did.

Lastly, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who made it there for your support!

Edit: I must say a big thank you to Paul for handing out the free brand new Dell wireless Kb/Mouse combos.
