This is truly heart warming – Lenovo and Make-A-Wish (MAW) Foundation Australia came together to build a mobile retro gaming arcade as part of a campaign to bring joy to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
The mobile arcade, containing arcade cabinets loaded on a truck, was parked at The Entertainment Quarter at Moore Park (NSW) on June 21st. It was open to MAW-supported kids (and their parents) as well as the general public in a bid to raise awareness for the MAW Foundation and what they do for children with life-threatening conditions.
The games in the mobile retro arcade truck were selected so that parents could also reminisce on some of the old classics (including Street Fighter II, Metal Slug, Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters, Galaga, Donkey Kong, and Space Invaders, to name a few) with their kids.
As a memento of the event, all MAW-supported kids attending the event received a Lenovo Yoga Tablet. Well done Lenovo and MAW Foundation for putting smiles on kids faces. A great day out for all!
