Another XzentriX meeting is over and so it is time to upload the new meeting pictures and write some lines about the meeting. This year we only had two real CPCs here (shame on you MaV, you should have bring a CPC with you ;-)) – only Mr.AMS and I brought a CPC to the meeting. Anyway, like every year, a lot of german CPC sceners came to Seeshaupt (this year Kangaroo Musique, Nurgle, MaV, Nilquader, Mr.AMS, Octoate (myself), Odiesoft and Sync). We had a lot of fun, talking about old times, drink one or two beers and enjoyed the meeting. Nurgle also tried to get the latest Arnold version working under Linux, we played the games of the 16k ROM game competition and there was also a mysterious coder writing some sprite routines in a hurry…

This year, Kangaroo also held the first german “Whacky Wit” championships on the XzentriX. Unfortunatly I didn’t managed to get through the first round :-(, but Odin – Odiesofts brother -, won the third place. Hooray!

So, I won’t bore you with more details. Head over to the meeting section and watch the meeting pictures there.

The 16th XzentriX meeting, a retro-computing party for old computers and game consoles, will take place from 06.-08.09.2013 in Seeshaupt / Germany. Like every year you can expect that a lot of german Amstrad CPC users will come to this party. If you have time, don’t miss it! You can find more information on the XzentriX homepage and see some photos in the meeting gallery of my page.

Another year is over and so the XzentriX 2012. It was a nice meeting – as always – but only MaV, Mr.AMS and I brought an Amstrad CPC with us, so the CPC was a little bit underrepresented this year. Anyway, a lot of german CPC users were there, e.g. Nurgle, Odiesoft, Brainblaster, Kangaroo, MaV, Nilquader, Mr.AMS and Octoate (myself). Thanks to the great Batman Forever demo, the interest in the CPC was higher this year and maybe we see a Amstrad CPC workshop on the next Vintage Computer Festival Europe (VCFe) in Munich next year.

Kangaroo showed his Pacman clone board game “Whacky Wit“, which is currently in a crowdfunding phase on StartNext (a german crowdfunding platform). The game is great and it makes a lot of fun, so if you want to help him, go over to StartNext and be a fan or buy a part :-).

The 14th XzentriX is over and it is time to look back at the meeting. As always it was great to see so many people having a lot of fun with their old computers and to meet a lot of german CPC users. This year I also had the opportunity to participate in the Bavarian Kick Off 2 open :-). I also hope to document a small modification I made to the CPC Booster+, too, but I currently don’t have much time to do that. Meanwhile you can find my pictures in the meeting gallery.

This years participants: Brainblaster, Cranium, Ferdl, Kangaroo MusiQue, MaV, Mr.Ams, Nilquader, Nurgle, Octoate, Odiesoft, Sync, Tolkin, Villain, Woodman.
