odie_one Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The RGC association is happy to announce the upcoming AC 2011, which will take place on April 16th and 17th. This 6th convention dedicated to 8, 16 and 32-bit vintage computers will be located in Congis (France) in a friendly atmosphere. As usual, software and hardware presentations will be featured, as well as the yearly Medieval Mayhem tournament (on Atari 2600). You'll also be able to discover and play freely on machines from those iconic brands. For 3 years, the AC has included a gaming-centered speed-coding contest. Previous editions have seen the birth of ambitious projects. A new challenge in 2011? We'll let you know more soon. If you're an Atari, Amiga, Commodore, Amstrad, MSX, Thomson (or any other brand you'd like to promote) enthusiast, you'll be welcome. Be sure to circle the date on your calendar not to miss this must-attend event for the retro-gaming community.
