Fantastic! Glad it went so smoothly. Thanks for taking this on.

We want pictures!!!

I've had a couple of follow-up inquiries through the website as a result too.

Hey everyone.

Tom, Chiron, Andrew, Ennio and myself manned the TPUG 'booth' this weekend
at Toronto Maker Festival.

The whole event was quite something and better planned from last year. Met a
lot of nice folks, and we made a lot of people smile.

We had games like Bubble Bobble, Demon Attack, Pac man, Space Invaders,
‎Metal Dust, Donkey Kong, Frogger and Gyruss, which went over fabulously
with the crowds.

We displayed:

- C64 with SDCard
- C64 with SuperCPU with Metal Dust
- Clear case C64C
- Raspberry PI running VICE
- PET with SDCARD drive
- C64 with SDCARD and JiffyDos
- SX64 with Ji ffyDOS
- Vic20 with MegaCart

Kids and parents alike played on the systems all weekend right up until
close. Many questions about how we keep them running, where to get them, and
what is the SX64?

It was a full two days for sure.

I think we had the best spot on the 2nd floor, spanning three glass tables
overlooking the front entrance.

Service and support by the event volunteers was great.

Now to relax and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Over and out.
