Retro Computing Meet-ups
Connect, Share and Celebrate Classic Machines
RetroRendezvous now serves as a meeting point for retro computer enthusiasts in both Falkirk (Scotland) and Andalucía (Spain). Whether you use an Acorn machine, or any classic 8-bit/16-bit system, the goal is the same:
face-to-face meet-ups where people bring their hardware, show their projects, exchange knowledge, and enjoy the hobby together.
I continue to support occasional gatherings at the Falkirk Business Hub, while also helping coordinate local meet-ups with the RetroBytes community in Córdoba.

Exploring Wilderland – Map of the Game
Google AI Studio has helped me create an exact map of my Exploring Wilderland game. This includes the starting positions of the NPCs as well as the objects. I say “starting” since NPCs can pick up objects and randomly drop them again. Not all the NPCs move in the game. https://retrorendezvous.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/TheHobbitMapEnglish-scaled.png Here’s the equivalent map…
