For the 41st meetup, Sean started early with his batch of MSX games for testing and his MZ-1500 + QuickDisk games for dumping/preserving. Unable to play the MSX games until Greg arrived with his MSX machine, and unable to start dumping until Saburo arrived with his QuickDisk dumping, etc. device, MZ-1500 games were played in the meantime.

New member Ondrej joined for the first time, bringing along a couple of Gameboys. He seemed to enjoy playing games and chatting with our denizens. Always great to find a new soul that matches our laid-back environment!

Greg showed up a bit later and had his shiny new MSX2 A1-ST Turbo R! It was a refurbed unit and we broke it in by playing some of Sean’s games and the games that Greg brought from his own collection.

David has been attending the meetups for a while now but this time he brought in his own vintage PC for the first time! The Hitachi MB-H2, an MSX machine with a built-in tape recorder with digital controls. Snazzy!
