Our ninth meeting was another good time. We met new member Greg and welcomed back original member Christian after a prolonged busy schedule. We had the big meeting room to ourselves again, which was fantastic because there was equipment galore. Sean arrived first with his Fujitsu FM-16π and Sega SC-3000, which had been recently upgraded…

We had our eighth meetup, a meetup filled with repairs and drama. Sean and Edoardo arrived at about the same time. Sean brought with him his Sega SC-3000 for play, his PC-6001mkII for a possible sale, and *two* PC-8201s, one for repair and the other for comparison. Edoardo brought his extensive repair equipment like some…

Despite the sharp increase in covid-19 cases in Tokyo, we braved a meetup. It was again rather intimate, with six members in attendance. That’s probably for the best right now. We got the big conference room on the 4th floor again, all to ourselves. New members Michelle and Tom came to join in the fun.…

Emerging from the wreck that is covid-19 while Tokyo experienced a huge dip in active cases, we had our sixth meetup, our first in over four months. We met up with our newest member Edoardo, who brings a wealth of knowledge and some serious-grade professional equipment. Covid-19 was not the only tragedy surrounding this meeting,…

Happy new year! And thanks to all members, old and new, for another fun meet-up. Our event ran from 10am to 6pm and the retro computing conversation and after-party continued until 10pm at the nearby yakitori shop. We continued the trend of growing slowly, with twelve people in attendance this time. This session began with…

Our third meet-up has come and gone, and it was another good one. Sean arrived first and had a chance to set up shop with his gadgets – a Commodore 116 and a Sinclair Spectrum+ (a gift from would-be attendee Stephen if only he didn’t live in the UK). Hiroki joined shortly after and brought…

We’ve had our second group meeting now. We met in the same location in Kayabacho, and it was attended by nine people: Christian, Curt, Hiroaki, Hiroki, Justin, Matt (who doesn’t live in Japan, but nobody’s perfect), Sean, Sven, and Yohsuke. This time we played with Sean’s MZ-700, including games like Yellow Balloon, Ottotto, and Pac-Man.…
