ABOUT THE CLUB
Old games. New mates.
Blackpool Retro Video Game Club is a friendly monthly meetup for people who enjoy classic video games and computers.
Expect a changing mix of retro consoles, home computers, arcade titles and emulation setups. Some months may feature Amiga, Commodore, PlayStation, Nintendo, Sega or arcade favourites — it depends what people bring along.
You do not need to be an expert or own any retro hardware. If you remember the games, missed them first time around, or simply fancy playing something different, you are welcome.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Bring something
Got an old console, computer or unusual bit of gaming history? Bring it along if you want to share it.
Meet people
It is as much a social night as a gaming night — relaxed, informal and built around a shared interest in retro tech.
