Pure Machine Code has been running on a monthly basis, for six months now, and is a FREE event, organised by myself and my friend Andy (who is the licensee and manager of the Star & Garter). Both of us are ex games industry journalists, Retro Gamer subscribers, and general retro gaming enthusiasts. We started doing Pure Machine Code events to create a relaxed, atmospheric environment for our friends (and friends of friends) to drink beers and play games in.
We usually have the following setup on the night: a projector with either Gamecube or N64 four-player; four networked PCs, playing a selection of multiplayer games (Quake II, Unreal Tournament, AvP 2 et cetera); a SNES and PlayStation; a 'feature corner' that rotates consoles (including Dreamcast, Saturn, Megadrive, PC Engine et cetera); a couple of modded X-Boxes with tons of stuff on them; a stand-up multi arcade cabinet, and a couple of tabletop arcade cabinets. From time to time we also show films (King of Kong) or TV shows (Starcade or Games Master) on a TV by the bar. For the past four Pure Machine Code events we have also had a retro games-based pub quiz, with retro games-related prizes. The quiz also has a "Name That Tune" section
Will admit I know bugger all about this pub so expect some kind of report on it
