Norwich gaming event

The forum will be hosting a FREE retro gaming event in The Fusion room from the 4th of April right through to the 23rd of April.

The event will host your favourite retro games from your childhood including some fantastic consoles such as the SNES and Megadrive but also so many many more! There will be games for all to enjoy and information on consoles through the generations.

We have set up an Official Retro Arcade 2 Forumhttp://www.norwichretrogaming.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=15. This is a place for everyone to discuss the event, things that they would like to see there and anything and everything else Retro Arcade 2 related.

As a sponsor of the event Norwich Retro Gaming will be holding a special competition for the event, but more information on that will come clear closer to the time! Of course, we will be making more information available as the date gets closer and reporting on the event through it too. So, check out the forum and the forum’s official web page on it too!http://www.theforumnorwich.co.uk/events/view/retro-arcade-2-megablast

Pure Machine code

Another Monthly one.

Ill try to get to it this time

Pure Machine Code retro games jamboree, at the Star & Garter in Manchester, will be having a PlayStation Worms tournament on Thursday 31st March 2011.

Entry is free to retro games fans, though right of admission is reserved (ROAR), and there are some decent prizes up for grabs, including a Sega Megadrive Nano for the winner, and runner-up prizes.

We're setting up the game to encourage attacking play, and the full rules are listed here on our website (check the screenshots to see the game settings and prizes).

If you want to take part: come down on the night and put your name on my list. Try to arrive before 9.30pm if you want to take part.

Of course there will also be the usual mix of consoles and games available to play, as well as the tourny, so there will still be plenty of choice for those not wanting to play Worms
