We invite you to step back into the ’80s and ’90s
On June 26 and 27, 2021 an unprecedented feast of ’80s and ’90s retro-computing history will take place in The Netherlands.
Commodore. Nintendo. Sega. Atari. Arcade and pinball machines. All will be present and of course, we’ll organize a special celebration of the Commodore Amiga’s 35th birthday.
Event speakers will be your heroes of yesteryear and today who you’ll of course get to meet and hangout with as well. Get your tickets now and see you there!
