coins de	la salle


The Intellivision hack, by Torlus	The famous "Yvette Horner" Amiga and Jeff's USB floppy interface !	SbM's C64c and the nice MMC


Detailed view : the Spartan in action	The interface (available also for STF)	Zoom on the MMC64 cartridge


Software from the past, for ZX Spectrum	Software from now, for Amiga One


Potrzebie's Intellivision heaven	Kotomi's consoles mods	A well surrounded Jaguar (add inside)


The Alice 8000, @@@ RARE @@@	The ST Book looks so small	near the enormous Stacy


Who want to adopt this like new PET ?	SX64 sitting on an IBM 5150	Lisa is always also pretty


The FM Towns in action	Super Cassette Vision : only for the girls	A Panasonic Q Game Cube !


The table top, soon to host a Galaga game	Very nice looking arcade system	Ms. Pac-Man, home made by Montupet Inc.


Ouch, it's very sophisticated (Potrzebie, Torlus, Romu)	You're right, you're righ ... (Romu, Potrzebie, Torlus)	Jeff is quieter, and Philou62 happy to be here


Yves and Jeff admiring, Torlus posing	sidchip_fr and lolo78 have some good time	while BubbleBobble is suffering ...


Jérôme in great shape, and SbM playing with a keyboard	Frodon offering a box of floppy disks to his hero. Yes : Super Striole was here.	Ben and LN with an extra large smile


Demo commando, All the Super Gamers are here	El Gregou, El Gregou's GF and Jason seems to be very interested	AtariManiac, Georges and Rhod listening a restless Romu


No, no, there are no little guys behind the screen	Women alone together	Maximum concentration, hot hot hot


AtariManiac in the supermarket	Kotomi : what am I doing here ?	Nico : I am an excellent driver	Fab93 aka VaselinMan, all need to be smooth ...	Nicam (Groarrr)


Xirius Thir, future finalist	Romu, somewhere in Vieuzordiland	Odie One	Guillaume, very busy	Rhod (and the driver behind)


Yves, I'm coming ...	Christian posing	Seb too : Commodore powa	Jason	Never a success without Etms


The Amiga One show by Huno	Damn, Etms saw me	No problem, after one hour they are all too tired


Dont forget to eat	and drink fresh	But no acces to the kitchen : the Cerberus is wathing


Better weather outside	Greeny and refreshing environment	Especially after 7 hours of cooking ! (thanks to our chef iCook)

The weather was hot, so instead of playing video games, we played Caps.
How to play ? Illustration by example with Kotomi :


First : the training	This game require concentration, manual dexterity and great resistance	Seen from Kotomi's eyes (simulation, as if you where him)


Feel much better after a little emptying	Collateral damages	Romu did'nt play, he looked a bit pale


The days after are sometimes hard	even amazing	but always moving (how do I fold this thing ?)


Hard time, said the Striole. After a cup, let's start again, answered MonTupet	SbM not clean, but well surrounded	Will come back next year ? Sure, what a question !
