Would anyone be interested in some sort of Retro gaming club, perhaps hosted at STEAMPaignton, the idea is to have older laptops running XP/Win7 or that era OS, and run old games,l that no longer run properly on newer operating systems. They are still playable and most are also networkable so allow for multiplayer games.

This is jsut an idea at the moment but I think if there IS interest I can suggest a plan to Mike who runs steam and see if we can get something going.
