All images sourced from and remain the property of: EB Games Expo It is always a pleasure meeting up and chatting with like minded and passionate retro gamers.
One retro gamer in particular is so passionate and down to earth, he is like a magnet for other retroholics. I have caught up with Serby a few times during the year and it never ceases to amaze me at the things they get up to — from hunting arcade machines across the country, to running retro club days and their awesome television show segment on New Game Plus on channel 31, to name a few.
In the recent past, WaR have been involved in events bringing retro gaming to the masses. For those that have been living on the moon and have not heard of Weird and Retro, this is what the lovely folks at EB Games have said about them:. Watch them on TV or game with them in person at their numerous community events. Weird and Retro are keeping the pixelated past alive by bringing weird and retro to all generations!
Aleks Svetislav [Serby]: It all started on Twitter. I followed up, they agreed, we gave a presentation, the crowd and EB directors watching loved it, and the rest as they say, is retro gaming history. I loved it as well as the complimentary lamb business lunch! While we worked together on it in terms of adding extra themes and features, the credit for this awesome theme goes to EB Games! ARG: Did you have any other ideas apart from the Garden theme?
There was no need to explore any other themes. We were all excited about the garden theme and were on the same page, so it was full steam ahead.
Bringing a VHS player to watch old school cult classics while playing the movie tie-in games, as well as some other features that we hope you will get to see next year. ARG: How will the retro systems be sourced?
Are you bringing your own? If so, which ones? How are you going to cart this precious cargo? Will there be any arcade machines? Serby: One of the reasons that Weird And Retro was chosen to run the retro event for EB Games Expo apart from all of our event experience and good working relationship with EB is that we can supply and run all the retro games and systems needed for the event.
However, due to the uber rare and expensive nature of our collection, we did not want to take any chances with couriers damaging our rarities. So, we offered to drive a hire truck to Sydney and back ourselves. Oh, and there may also be an arcade machine or gaming kiosk coming with us too. ARG: Will you be running competitions during the expo? If so, which games, what format and most importantly, what are the prizes? Like at all of our larger events, we aim to have our regular player Saturn Bomberman tournament; running on a projector in front of a large audience.
We will have to see if space and facilities will permit this. This C64 release is based on the popular Canabalt game. Do you have helpers on hand? If not, can I sneak into your luggage.
ARG: No love for ausretrogamer hey. This changes everything Serby wink. Serby: For AusRetroGamer? Those that follow our Weird And Retro twitter exploits, you will know of our retro hunts.
I hope she is guarded like Fort Knox. If you want retro, then do not go there! Leave it all for us! Serby: WaR is breaking out on all fronts! We have also set-up our Weird and Retro YouTube channel so watch out no pun intended for upcoming feature length segments, reviews, event videos and more! Our weirdandretro. In the meantime, if you cannot join us in person at any community event, you can follow our exploits on Facebook and Twitter.
Are you joining us at the Classic Games Console crew? Serby: Looks like it winks. ARG: Oh man, that is awesome! We will have a blast. ARG: Finally, what is your all time favourite arcade game? Fans attending the Expo will have the opportunity to experience the most diverse range of PlayStation VR titles available in the country to date. With a Pokemon store, battle lounge, and dedicated Pokemon area, fans will experience the world of Pokemon in the most tangible way yet. Another new addition is a free-to-play Minecraft area, Minecraft Block.
What is sure to be the sell-out of the convention is the first-ever Good Game Unplugged. The show will celebrate the past ten years of Good Game , a show that includes a mix of gaming news, reviews, and features.
