Retro Game Day and LAN Party!

Retro Game Day and LAN Party!

By Leigh Hackspace CIC

Overview

Party like it's the 1980s. Or the 1990s. Or probably the early 2000s. Old computers and games in one room, and LAN party in the other!

Does your childhood smell like 8 bit, 16 bit or even 32 bit? Yearn for square pixels in a resolution you can see? We're going to bring in all our old systems (Spectrums, Commodores, Ataris, even some vintage Macs) and hook them up for people to play with. Most will have fast loading and an array of games to choose from.

In our classroom, we're going to be running a LAN party, with a bunch of 2000s era games through the day. OpenArena (Quake 3), Unreal Tournament, Red Alert, Dune 2000 and Worms Armageddon. Win, lose, all done in the same room as your co-players.

We ask players to bring their own headphones or earphones with a standard 3.5mm jack. (Bluetooth headphones are not supported)

Doors open at 11am, LAN party games will change every hour, and a casual drop-in, drop-out approach.

Code of Conduct will be displayed and will apply to all players.

Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Refreshments available on site.
