I assume that Retro developer Martin Wenting of Revival Studios attended the convention (see Eurocon webpage, button "Who"). For a while now Martijn develops on other Retro platforms except the Vectrex. |

Martijn was co-organiser this year, so I very much presume he was there  But yes, if anyone was there, please elaborate. Wasn't able to attend this year sadly... |

^I feel your pain. I've missed our local annual gaming expos before and it sucks indeed.
Speaking of which, ours is in 10 days, from November 8-9. I *might* have the money to go one day but I won't be sure for a few more days. Hopefully I can make it, as even one day (out of a possible two) is better than none!

It would be great if anyone going to these events can share pictures and/or some comments about the events. At least those of us who can't go get a sense of what happened. |

I always do, but the last one I went to was two years ago, hence why there weren't pics of last years'.

That's cool but if anyone else goes (so VectorX doesn't have to be the only one), keep it in mind. |

I was at the Retro Fair that was held on Saturday in Elst. It was very nice there and some of the Homebrewers like Martijn showed their new games and stuff including new Games for the Videopac/Odyssey 2 and a laser music device for the ZX Spectrum. Especially that was very cool! I didn't attend the rest of the show but I saw a video about playing "real" combat  They cutted some foam out to look like the terrain in Combat on the Atari VCS and played with some tanks that shot paintballs. very cool idea |

As far as I know there weren't any new Vectrex releases on the Event, but maybe I just didn't see them! I'm pretty new to the Vectrex, so I have to check which "sources" are available for new homebrews |
