🕹️ AMSTRAD takeover at the Nottingham Video Games Expo! ⭐️ Plus… Spooky caves?! 😱 #NVGE

On Saturday the 18th July 2026, the NVGE (Nottingham Video Games Expo) hosted an entire area dedicated to the Amstrad! The guest star was Roland Perry (main engineer behind the CPC 464 and many more computers and devices for Amstrad), the UKAG (UK Amstrad Group) came and setup with lots of cool hardware, I too was invited and hosted a “Pinball Dreams” tournament all day on my childhood CPC 6128 and a trader (The Last 8 Bit Games Shop) was there too with hundreds of rare Amstrad games!

Here’s a video of our adventures, the NVGE, what it’s all about and what it means for the future…. And I do mean adventures, watch on for the last 2/3rds of the video we end up in some spooky caves under Nottingham!?!!
