Interested in retro games? Come introduce yourself to -JJ’s outdated consoles and take a peek into the wonderful world of retro gaming.
-JJ brings a selection of his own gaming consoles for everybody to play with at the Assembly Winter ’24. Consoles are “obsolete” in the sense that you don’t get these brand new anymore, ranging from the NES to Xbox One via Playstations 1, 2 and 3.
All the consoles have a small library of games, which should somehow represent the games’ and consoles’ era. There is also a few handheld gaming systems availabe, mostly from Nintendo and Sony brands.
Opportunities for handheld multiplayer mayhem will be at least with the original DMG Game Boy’s and Nintendo DS’s – you may bring your own DS/2DS/3DS for a larger Bomberman or Mario Kart session!
Additionally there will be something to read, for example gaming related books by Juho Kuorikoski, Retro Rewind/Skrolli magazines (tilaaskrolli.fi), and a couple of cartoon books (in English).
Welcome for a session of gaming, or just hanging and chatting about these oldish games that you may not encounter anymore so often.
And if you dare, you may challenge -JJ in a game of Tetris
PS. There might be some small tournaments, with at least infinite amounts of honor and glory in the prize pool – come and see the schedule at the area.
NOTE: changes may be possible, since you’ll never know when these kind of electronics stop working unexpectedly
