ZZAP LIVE! 2024
« on: July 15, 2024, 10:01:05 PM »


Fusion Books are proud to announce the ZZAP! Live 2024 event in collaboration with South West Amiga Group and Retro Computer Museum. The ZZAP! Live event will cover each and every Commodore system including the Amiga family.

For limited time only:   5% off tickets to AMIGA.org members by using the code AMIGA at checkout.  Book Here Now!

The event is split into 2 parts:

Main Event: the daytime main event starts at 10am and finishes at 6.00pm. You will have access to all that the event has to offer during this time:

>> Over 60 Commodore systems to play games on. Every Commodore system will be represented from the Commodore PET up to the Amiga 4000.

>> A Fusion Zone where non-Commodore systems will be available to play: Sega consoles, PlayStation, Saturn, N64, DOS gaming and more!

>> We have a dedicated Q/A room that will hold up to 160 attendees along with the panel. We have some guests lined up including Rob Hubbard (music in Sanxion, Delta), Andrew Braybrook / Steve Turner (Uridium, Paradroid, Rainbow Islands, Fire and Ice), Jon Hare / Stoo Cambridge (Wizball, Sensible Soccer, Cannon Fodder), Simon Butler / Paul Hughes (Ocean Software titles), Andy Davidson (Worms on the Amiga). We have asked many others and are waiting for confirmation before announcing.

>> There will be gaming competitions throughout the day.

>> We will have a room full of old original arcade machines (many of which are from Archer Maclean's collection) supplied by the Arcade Archive (The Retro Collective) in Stroud. In addition, we will have LCD arcade games and pinball machines.

>> There will be a fully licenced bar throughout the day, and good value food available to purchase.

Evening Event: At around 7pm we will be starting the evening entertainment - "An evening with Jeff, Giles and Dokk".

The first part of the evening will be a sneak peak view of "Heart of Neon", the feature length documentary about Jeff directed by Paul Docherty (Dokk).

Following the show will be a Q/A with Jeff Minter and Giles - hosted by Paul.

EXCLUSIVE : Jeff and Giles will perform a full blown VLM show!

Raffle - The raffle has become a big thing at our events. This year we have teamed up with Classic Arcade Games - our first prize is an amazing cocktail cabinet. There will be one at the event for visitors to play - the winner of the raffle will have a brand-new arcade machine sent directly to them from Classic Arcade Games after the event.

I just got back from a great day here (it's only about 15 mins from me). Great to chat to so many Commodore fans, and influencers including David Pleasance, and Matthew and Chris from Amiga Kit.

Thanks very much to the organisers and everyone who helped this happen.

On Saturday we attended the Zzapp 2024 Live! show and demonstrated the A600GS to the attendees.  All day we were busy answering questions and demonstrating the features of the A600GS.  It was great to receive such great feedback!
