It took place over the weekend and was filled with expectation: chip tunes and retro gaming! Yep a lot of people turn up for this one day event and the room was getting packed after it was opened. So that's why the Future Gallery was intended for as it developed that innovation within the social space.
What did I saw there? There was Robocod and Streets of Rage projected on the wall; The plug-in version of Tetris and the table arcade cabinet to allows you to choose any random games to play on. One of the highlights was going on the winning streak with Street Fighter II Turbo. It's been a while I haven't play this fighting game as it was considered to be a classic. I assume the key to that success was due to converting onto the home console as the SNES port was incredibly superior and closest to arcade perfection. Plus it became part of the bundle pack in which Super Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars is also available in other packaging.
Good to see Sami Cetin again, the Super Mario Kart specialist who gave some demonstration with the driving lessons. Yep Super Mario Kart is another of my favourite racing game that boosted the Mario franchise and it looks brilliant in Mode 7. Plus I got loaded with some light gun action as Operation Wolf was available to play on the Master System. It was back to the 8-bit era and was great to use the Light Phaser again as it works really well, but doesn't beat the Mini Uzi in the arcade version. Although I was unable to complete the game, it was fun stuff indeed.
I must say it went really well in terms of atmosphere and generating modern society. Everyone are likely to revisit vintage gaming no matter how much you yearned for the past. Don't know when the next event is coming, but I'll look out for it.
