Just back from an amazing weekend at ZZap Live!, and the Retro Collective “The Cave”, where ex-DMA bod, Brian Watson gave a talk. ZZap just “flew” by, and I honestly don’t know where the time went. Being just a day this year, I spent the whole thing speaking to folks, and didn’t see any of the talks. Was great catching up with old dev friends – and making new dev friends!

I took a load of pics on the main hall, but I never even made it into the other rooms! The talks room was much nicer – and even had aircon!

Lastly before the picture fest… I’ll be at RetroFest 2026 on Sunday 31st May ( in a couple of weeks), so if you’re going, come say hello!

Before the madness began, with the one and only, Tim the sex machine setting up the C64 core on the Next.

And DOOM Running on the C64, via a Pi cart. This was quite smart as it uses the C64’s screen and colours to display, but it was running full tilt.
