Retro Price Rewind at Game Masters
All-you-can-play for $10
|
| |
Arcade Heroes, Game Changers and Indies
|
| |
|
| |
The dudes were gnarly, the fashion freaky
(whether you wore happy pants or ra-ra skirts) - it was the eighties and
we could relate. $10 got you and a friend into the movies and your Dad's
mo' was badder than any poor excuse from a modern-day hipster. Sure, one
day we'll look back with fond memories of our post-GFC haze, when these
days seemed comparatively easy, but the eighties will also hold a totally
rad spot in our scrunchie-bound hearts.
To awaken the nostalgia
and transport you to this happy place, we suggest starting with a few
arcade heroes. Round up all the other kids in their pumped-up kicks and
get yourselves down to Game Masters for August Retro Fridays. $10 will get
you into the exhibition and you won't need a single 20c piece to get your
game on - all 125+ games, including ace classics like Pac-Man
(1980) and Asteroids (1979), right through to game-changers and
indie hits Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), SimCity (1989),
Angry Birds (2009) and Minecraft (2011) are
playable.
These retro prices are only available on Friday 17, 24
and 31 August, from 10am to 10pm, so you should most definitely bust a
move ASAP because the Game Masters exhibition is
kickin'.
