acorn & bbc micro user group (abug) events • Re: ABUG Scotland Day Event : Sat Sept 28th

Rolling PowerPoint presentations on the programming projects by Tosk (Paul) of "The Hobbit : Exploring Wilderland" and "The Lords of Midnight". On a Spectrum 128K Toastrack ran the 128K version of the Hobbit classic adventure game. The original "A Guide to Playing the Hobbit" book pictured on the desk helped inform some of the coding.



TheCellarTroll (Steven) brought an Amiga 1200 and an Archimedes A3010 running demo software.



atsampson (Adam) brought an A3000. I had great fun playing Lemmings on this.His plethora of kit included an Atari ST520 and Amiga (I think an A500?) running demoware and also a working Laserdisc. Pictured in the background are Ian, Chris and David.



atsampson (Adam)'s BBC Micro and Laserdisc with a good range of discs. Can you identify the film from small screen?



Gebes (Alasdair) brought a fully restored and souped up Master Compact. Note how clean the casing is and keyboard in great condition. Next to it is an Acorn teletext module, relatively hefty considering it's purpose.



Ian's diagnostic and soldering station ready for action.
