Exhibition(s) in 2012
Classic video-games and professional-software galore invaded Athens (GR) again in 2012, being the country's biggest exhibition of old school home-computer and video-console entertainment as promised to be!
The event offered the chance to play with more than 100 old-school video-consoles and home-computers from 1977 to the present day.
Much loved home-micro-systems, such as the Vectrex, Commodore Amiga, MGT Sam Coupe, Atari Falcon and the original Atari 2600 console, offered free plays and great excitement.
The layout was in chronological order and there were great examples of how the tools and the people who used them brought us to where we are today.

Retroshowcase was there too, as a part of the exhibitor team, and offered a few old-school systems from our beloved collection (such as the Amiga 600, Amiga 1200, Atari STE, Amstrad GX4000, Panasonic 3DO, Philips CDi 450 etc).
Was a great fun, was a pleasant company of friends, was just ... a huge pile of memories!
Photos and videos taken by me can be found below, but you may see more (taken from the fellow exhibitors) at www.retrocomputers.gr.
