The MSX Futurist crew at breakfast. From left to right: Rob, and indeed Sander van Nunen (wow: this is 14 years ago!), Ed, Edwin and Terrence.

At the fair, the booth of MSX Futurist just build up. The first people are coming in. Exciting!

The guy in the middle-right was from the south. Can't remember his name but he was also a prominent figure. Help me out here! Didn't I sell a Sony HB-700 to you later?

The crew at work demonstrating stuff. There are some other known people behind the MSX Futurist stand from other groups.

Ed Nierop shows one of his konami's to another booth holder. (Ed has almost all MSX konami games)

Rob, chairman of MSX Futurist, talking to another MSX user.

Lots of people coming by to talk about the latest MSX developments back then.

People looking at game demonstrations of Arcus and Space Manbow.

The TV screen on the corner of the booth showed the MSX Futurist info board. Programmed by Bas van Ritbergen

Nearing the end of the fair the booth became a little wrecked because of all the attention.

The MSX Futurist crew had to wait for their trip back home so they watched this old factory floor becoming empty again. (Yes this fair was actually held in an old factory!)

After two days of MSX-ing the crew returned home. Tired but satisfied.

A last stop for gasoline. The dad of Sander van Nunen drove the MSX Futurist people to Tilburg and back to Zaandam with this Red Mercedes Van. Famous back then because this Van would drive these people to many other MSX fairs afterwards.
