C2 Retro Gaming Night (March)

Come have a drink while playing on authentic classic computers and consoles!

Note: This is from 6 to 10 PM on a Saturday (doors open at 5:30)

Fee: Free (but we sell food/drinks so please don't bring any from outside)

More info

In the past, we've had homebrew, demakes, ten player bomberman on the Saturn, and even weird things like a Virtual Boy running on a glasses-free holographic display.

Our carefully curated exhibits are different each event. (photos below are from previous events)

Do I have to be there exactly at the starting time?

Nope! Feel free to come late or come and go as needed. This 4-hour time window is somewhat experimental, a way to be more flexible for people's schedules

What hardware/games will be setup that I can play?

Check our twitter (or Mastodon) close to the date for information on which hardware and games will be on the floor, it all depends on Seth's laziness as well as what hardware is currently working.

Beware of Google maps being wrong!

There are two addresses in Kyoto with our address (different postal code), so if you type the address into Google/etc. make sure it's the one that's a few blocks from Gojo station. To avoid problems, search for "C2 Kyoto" instead - or click the map on this page, or visit www.c2kyoto.com which has a map as well.

Can I bring my own food/drink?

No, sorry. Please don't bring in outside food or drink. There will be a menu with beer & wine as well as healthy non-alcoholic options. All sales support this event.

There probably won't be any food options so please plan to eat before or after.

(note: currently we're only able to accept cash payments)

Notes and misc:

Code of conduct: Be nice! If you have any questions or problems find Seth or Akiko.

Allergy warning: We have a friendly cavalier named Ten-chan.

Bicycle parking available. (just park 'em anywhere on the driveway in front of our building) No parking for cars, but there are many pay parking lots nearby.

Non-smoking.

Chatting on the street: Please be considerate of noise levels if outside, for our neighbors’ sake. Better to chat inside the building than out on the street. (We've never had complaints, but want to keep it that way!)

Photo Policy: Please respect everyone's privacy by refraining from publicly posting unblurred photos of attendee faces without their permission. Some individuals prefer not to have their faces scanned by bots and AI, as it can disclose their whereabouts on specific dates, which can be a bit on the creepy side.
