Amiga38 is expected to be the biggest worldwide again this year - despite several old and new Amiga events - welcoming guests and visitors from all over the world.

The visitors can look forward to three main topics that will be in the foreground during the one and a half days: on the one hand, we want to pay tribute to the legendary and insanely active demoscene and have a few more musical and informal contributions for this in addition to the demo contest brought to life by the Apollo team (amiga-news.de reported).

Our second main topic will be AmigaOS and its current development team: who is actually behind the development of AmigaOS3.2? Part of the team will be represented with their own stand at Amiga38 and will be available to answer questions. Camilla Boemann will travel from Denmark and will also give a stage presentation on behalf of the team.

Furthermore, we also want to give Commodore's console, the Amiga CD32, more attention, especially since it celebrates its 30th birthday this year. A beacon of hope or stillborn? What was the plan behind the console? What would have happened if Commodore had been more liquid at the time of its release? These and other questions will also be addressed in October - we were able to win Beth Richard from the USA as a special guest of honour. Beth Richard worked as an engineer at Commodore from 1991 until she left in April 1994.

She was the designer of the Grace chip and the CDTV-CR that used it; the MPEG-4000 that was the prototype for the CD32 FMV cartridge, one of the three designers of the Akiko chip in the CD32 and the lead designer of the CD1200 prototype.

Other well-known names who have already confirmed their participation include Petro Tyschtschenko, who celebrated his 80th birthday in April, David Pleasance and Dave Haynie.

For Amiga38, in addition to the day tickets at 27.50 euros, appropriately named "Pass A38", there are of course again day tickets including table (for 40 euros), as well as tickets for the pre-opening and get-together on Friday evening (after the exhibitors have set up, a first tour is possible, plus snacks and drinks from 8 pm, as well as a stage programme including a Reshoot Proxima release party) at 59 euros.

In addition, there are some ticket combinations with discounts, as well as free tickets for children and young people up to and including 16 years of age. As experience shows that some categories will sell out quickly, it makes sense to secure your ticket in good time.

Questions about the tickets or other topics concerning the Amiga38 can be sent by email. (dr)
