First Retro Video Game Night of 2016!
Unfortunately, this was the first ever night that I was unable to attend but from all accounts, it was a great start to the year. We'd decided the theme this particular evening around obscure fighting games and so Ian chose Karate Champ his tournament, which was won by Mr Jack.

Tournament Winner: Unknown
Our second ever Christmas themed retro night and possibly the busiest one to date. There were quite a few new faces at this one and we had a brand new burger van too!
Lunar Panda Xmas Edition was brought out of retirement once again along with Xmas Lemmings and a few other choice classics. Ian's shirt was up for grabs once again and was presented to the winner of the Power Stone 2 tournament at the end of the evening.

Tournament: Micro Machines V3 (Sony PlayStation)
Tournament Winner: Tom Scott
Summer's over and we're easing our way back into the winter months once again. This particular retro night saw our first ever repeat tournament winner. Tom Scott, who won Ian's shirt at the Christmas 2014 retro night playing Bishi Bashi, won this evening's Micro Machines tournament. I think this is the busiest I've ever seen the 80s classroom for one of Ian's gaming tournaments.
I also brought along a modded version of Gimpy Bomber that you control with a foot pedal.

The summer retro nights always feel a bit strange. Might be a personal preference but eating burgers and playing video games always feels more natural when it's dark outside.
This was a pretty popular night never the less and one lucky individual walked away with a boxed Commodore Amiga that he won in the raffle.

Tournament: Track 'n' Field (Sony PlayStation)
Tournament Winner: Mr Jim
First Retro Gaming Night of 2015. Ian kicked off the new year with a Track 'n' Field tournament.
The main room featured a whole load of gun/zapper games. It also felt like Alex Kidd was due a come back so I got him out of retirement and put him on the flyers.
