Retro Gaming Weekend

Description:
Just the other night, mentally and physically drained after some intense DJ Hero, my mates and I rediscovered Sonic. With trippy bonus levels and that warm fuzzy feeling, games like this were easy, linear and fun as hell. If you didn’t heed my advice and check out The 80s are Back, then do so now with their upcoming Retro Gaming Weekend. With various talks, workshops and endless nostalgic playtime, relive the golden age of gaming. And yeah, I know Sonic was from the early 90s but you get the idea… games were better back then. – JP
