AllGen Gaming - Video gaming centre in Rochester was a launch success!

After all these months of shouting about the latest gaming centre to be launching in Rochester,UK for all things retro and modern gaming, last weekend it actually happened. On Sunday 28th August ' AllGen Gaming' had its first launch day with all the gaming systems you could hope to play on under one roof. But that is not all as Indie Retro News was there to support them all the way through to show off just how keen we were to be a part of this incredible experience. ( Lots of Photos to follow )

2016 is a gaming Play Expo bonanza! Blackpool, London and Margate

If you love your gaming shows full of retro computers to play, developers to talk to and items to buy, then 2016 is a bonanza of fun. As not only do we have the London Gaming Market due in the next few months, but PLAY Expo Blackpool 2016 and PLAY Expo Margate 2016. That's just three of the recommended shows you should be a part of, if you're buying or just playing!

Indie Retro News is going to PLAY Margate!

We are a huge fan of retro gaming conventions, especially ones that are full to the brim with retro games and hardware mixed up with a little bit of indie. Sure we've seen Eurogamer (although I wasn't impressed), I've always had a soft spot for GEEK in Margate, as I can relive days gone by and clicky joysticks.  Well after our recent feature of GEEK 2015 which was a big let down compared to their previous events, with it being a more modern oriented show (Lots of PS4's/Xbox ones!). The true retro spirit is coming home as from tomorrow! Yes indeed, 'PLAY Margate' the original organizers of GEEK will be at the Winter Gardens, Margate from the 21st to the 23rd of August.

As such Indie Retro News will be there and we personally can't wait to show you all the awesomeness this show has to provide when we come back.

Tickets are still available to buy from the main website

The Micro Museum - Possibly the best retro gaming place in Kent!

Usually on a Saturday I can be found spending time with my family, walking the shops, going to the arcades or just generally doing family type things. But today I was to come across a place that I'd class as the golden crown of retro gaming in a town called Ramsgate, in the county of Kent. Welcome to 'The Micro Museum' - The Museum of Vintage Computers, Games and Micro Electronics run by Mike and Carol Deer.

PLAY Margate - Indie and Retro gaming show coming to Margate 21-23RD August 2015!

At the beginning of the year Indie Retro News went to GEEK 2015; a gaming show that I had hoped had all the greatness of 2013 with lots of retro systems, retro market stalls and the odd modern console. However sad as it may be, GEEK 2015 was a big let down compared to their previous events, with it being a more modern oriented show (Lots of PS4's/Xbox ones!). However we've just been informed by the Replay team that 'PLAY Margate' is coming to the Winter Gardens on 21-23rd August. The same team behind the gaming greatness of the first 3 GEEK events, is coming to Margate! So if you want the best in Arcade, Indie and Retro Gaming, come to ' Play Margate 2015 '.
