Hi,

There will be a Retro Software presence at this year's Wakefield Acorn & RISCOS Computer Show 2011, the longest-running Acorn show - still going strong! - that takes place on Saturday, April 16th.

The big news is that we hope to show off a preview of the never-before-seen upcoming RISC OS port of Repton: The Lost Realms, which was recently awarded a Retro Gamer Sizzler award for the BBC Micro version and, like the BBC version, comes courtesy of multi-platform RS coding superstar, Tom Walker, who will also be on hand to show off his latest creation.

We'll also be bringing along our latest 8-bit titles including Hard Hat Harry, Hyper Viper, the most recent view of Mixed Grill March (BBC micro port of Wii favourite Muscle March) ... as well as the first public reveal of the 'final' version of Repton: The Lost Realms for the Acorn Electron.

For those looking for a bargain, we should also have a couple of show offer prices as well:

BBC Micro versions of Repton: The Lost Realms - £5
BBC Micro versions of Zap! & The Krystal Connection - £5 the pair

If you have anything you'd like to share, this is a great opportunity to hook up with us, so do please drop us a line or collar us at the event. It should be great to chinwag and maybe even grab a curry afterwards with the best and worst of the Acorn retro community.

Hope to see some of you there,

Sam.

Retro Software at the Wakefield Acorn & RISCOS Computer Show 2011, revealing the final build of Electron Repton: The Lost Realms, along with the preview version for RISC OS running on an A5000. We also had the latest development builds of Mixed Grill March and Mountain Panic running both on an original BBC Micro and on a laptop running B-Em with a modified Master Compact USB keyboard, courtesy of MoJo.

Plus we had our various freebie titles, incl. Hard Hat Harry and Hyper Viper, and other RS goodies on display.

Great day, tho a logistical snafu meant we were unable to take any stock to sell. :(

Sam.
