Is that a cross-gen (Amiga<->Atari) game?

I can get a long midi cable though.

Ah don't know. I guess not, but it is a network game.

@viking272 was talking about that game and we did sort of plan to MIDI up several STs on the last event to play it.

However, it ended up not happening.

(To be fair, NONE of my stuff ended up 'happening' :lol: )

I’ll check out midimaze as I can likely bring a few STs if really needed but I’d sort of planned to do the 8 bit corner again.

Wow, a new show, seems I've been awol for a while!
I spoke with the author of MIDI Maze and I think he had a link to the latest version but yes, it was a plan to get some link up games working.

A 6m Midi cable has arrived should anyone want to play Midimaze. I'm only bringing one Atari this year but happy to link to someone else. 6m should be enough

It's been a long time since I last set it up...but doesn't it need two cables between two STs, 4 between 3 etc.?

I'm trying to find some retro stuff in the garage ATM so will try to find some more leads while I'm at it...

No. One cable for every machine. Two for 2 computers. Three for 3 etc.

Midi-out (Computer 1) to Midi-in (Computer 2)
Midi-out (Computer 2) to Midi-in (Computer 3)
Midi-out (Computer n) to Midi-in (Computer 1)

But yes a minimum of 2 cables. I only bought one though.
