The Amiga is back! This incredible annual expo celebrates the Commodore Amiga computer's culture and heritage. Launched in 1985, it remains relevant today. It is used by Calvin Harris, and featured on Stranger Things. It's an old computer with a modern heartbeat and a thriving community and industry in 2024.
The event will take place at Meadow Lane Stadium in Nottingham, England and will feature a two-day expo on Saturday and Sunday. There will be talks from developers behind classic video games of the 90s, such as Sensible Soccer, Cannon Fodder, Lure of the Temptress, and Beneath a Steel Sky.
The event will include gaming competitions, machines to play on, user groups, traders, and three huge halls of goodness. This event is not to be missed for any retro video game fan. It's not just Amiga; we will also have a selection of Atari prototypes, the new ZX Spectrum Next, and arcade cabinets. It's a modern take on the traditional Amiga Shows, bringing the best of the past into the present.
We are hosting an incredible video game music night on Saturday, featuring performances from some of the world's best video game musicians. This includes a live performance by David Wise, the composer of Donkey Kong Country. Additionally, Pete Cannon, a jungle producer who incorporates Amiga in his music, will be performing a headline DJ set, along with many other talented musicians.
