Hello everyone,

The AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup covering March 2026 has just been released!

https://oldschoolgameblog.com/2026/04/05/amigaos-4-monthly-roundup-march-2026/

I've split the topic. I felt the original post by Boing-Ball, to an off-site thread of experiences with the seller was not in line with the original purpose of the thread on here.

Moderating is sometimes straightforward (deleting spam), and sometimes a judgement call and one side will disagree with the decision. It shouldn't open people trying to help up to personal attacks on here or anywhere else (ref comments at end of the thread on Amibay).

I was invited by F0llett to be a moderator, I didn't ask.

I'm not a buddy of Steve / Retropassion, something I've stated before. I've bought off Retropassion once online (and I got my order in a couple of days)  and a couple of times in person at shows.

Yes. But you have made the wrong decision by removing this originally.

So that others on here can also make their judgement call.

It’s interesting that there are comments made about other sellers on here. But as soon as RetropassionUK show up. It’s “Oh, we must protect him”. “he does no wrong”. Right!

You should see what’s happened over on EAB. Retropassion has even deserted his poor so called devouted customers over there.

Please! Too much Bias towards this seller. let people have their say.

The next MAE / Geeks & Gaming meet up in Royal Leamington Spa, UK is on Saturday 25th April 2026

Tickets are now available and, like the January event, are free (tickets are used to monitor numbers) https://www.universe.com/events/mae-day-x-geeks-gaming-saturday-25-april-2026-tickets-FMR78B

An opportunity to meet up with other Amiga fans to share ideas, show off kit, demonstrate, play games, fix things, and chat.

- MAE is going to look a bit different

We're combining the MAE meeting with another event that we're involved with called Geeks & Gaming (G&G). They're very similar formats; MAE focuses on our beloved Amiga whereas G&G is multi-format and covers retro and modern gaming. We're also open to board games.

It might mean your Amiga sits next to an Atari ST, so maybe use a serial link cable and play cross-platform Stunt Car Racer :-) ?

- Why the change?

Both MAE and G&G have a small number of core, regular attendees. By combining the two events, we hope to grow and be able to put both on more regularly. We also get free room hire (see 'What is Geeks & Gaming), so there's no charge for attending.

- What is Geeks & Gaming?

G&G started about 7 years ago, and run for the for the church which has the lease on the Westbury Centre where we meet. This means it's free of room hire costs and by combining both events the benefit of free room hire is shared.

G&G is how we discovered the shared love for the Amiga and retro computing, which led to MAE.

- Who can go?

We apply the same rules to G&G and MAE when run as separate events. They are open to trusted people, and under-18s must come with a responsible adult. These rules mean that we don't just have anyone walk in off the street.

- Is the change permanent?

We tried it in January with limited advertising and it went well, so doing it again.

@F0LLETT thanks for keeping us updated on the project.

I tried the links this evening and pspuae.com and ultimateamiga.com don't work for me.
