Get ready to impress by combining two of our favorite things, a little healthy competition and, Mrs. Pac-Man! Boys and girls, get your joysticks ready for a packed weekend of retro computer games: think Donkey Kong and Space Invaders! All weekend you can play classic arcade games in the Powerhouse Museum's Turbine Hall. Not daring enough for you, why not grab the closest 80's junkie and join in a dress-up, life-size 80's computer game, the guys at Powerhouse will supply the costumes! You can also hear games-inspired music from DJ Ali Reza, grab a drink at the cash bar and hear tips from 80s gaming experts. The date has 'awesome dude' written all over it! Guitar Hero--eat your heart out!
