Classic Gaming at PAX Aus 2018 – It’ll Be Intoxicating Nostalgia!

October 3, 2018 By ausretrogamer

With the imminent 6th iteration of PAX Aus, we are in the final stages of planning for our Classic Gaming area. The team is working extremely hard behind the scenes to ensure you get a nice juicy hit of nostalgia come late October! As the saying goes, the Classic Gaming area will be bigger, badder and better in 2018.

If you’ve never visited the Classic Gaming area at PAX Aus, then perhaps our trip down memory lane may motivate you to get your retro gaming on, from our humble beginnings at the inaugural PAX Aus 2013 at the Showgrounds to our 5th showing in a row at the greatest event in the southern hemisphere.

Hopefully we will see a lot of you there in a few short weeks – make sure you say hi!

PAX Aus Classic Gaming highlights from:

  • PAX Aus 2013
  • PAX Aus 2014
  • PAX Aus 2015
  • PAX Aus 2016
  • PAX Aus 2017

The PAX Aus Classic Gaming area is brought to you by: Ausretrogamer, Press Play on Tape Podcast, Weird and Retro, Bartronica, Zax Amusements, Bayside Pinball Club and Pinmem.

Remember 1988

May 5, 2014 By ausretrogamer

1988_title

Do you remember how awesome 1988 was? I do! I was a teenager with not a hassle in the world. My life revolved around my family, friends, school, sport, tv, music, movies and video games – particularly the Commodore 64 and arcades! 1988 was the year I went from playing games on cassette to playing games on floppy disk. Life was good.

Oh yeah, there was the Seoul Olympics and Australia was celebrating its bicentennial. Ah 1988, you were a great year.  What are your memories of 1988?

Press play and immerse yourself with some 1988 awesomeness!
