If you’re a fan of retro gaming do we have an Expo for you! Revival is a brand new annual 2-day retro gaming event starting on Saturday May 18 and running through Sunday May 19, 2013 at the Wolverhampton Racecourse. The event promises countless arcade machines, pinball tables, pachinkos, consoles and the chance to meet some gaming celebrities.
Revival is being put together and led by both Turnarcades (www.turnarcades.co.uk), the custom arcade machine manufactures, and the brains behind the Retro Fusion magazine (www.retrofusion.me.uk). Revival promises nothing but retro gaming, with the hope to lure in the die-hards from around the country disheartened by the sight of modern consoles.
But more interestingly Revival has promised retro gamers the attendance of several heroes from our gaming past such as the Dizzy creators, the Oliver Twins, a re-union of Ocean Software employees, Archer Maclean and Mike Montgomery from Bitmap Brothers to name but a few. These heroes of yesteryear will be participating in talks as well as challenging the event visitors to a game or two of their favorite games.
Tickets: £13.00 for Saturday only, £13.00 for Sunday only, or £20 for both days and can be bought here.
