🎃 KOENJI RETROGAMING NIGHT: HALLOWEEN SPECIAL

Thursday, October 22 | 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Original consoles. Actual CRT TVs. Zombies, vampires, monsters, and terrible decisions.

We're turning the 3rd floor of The Den into a Halloween-themed retro gaming night, digging through decades of Japanese gaming history for some of the weirdest, creepiest, and most ridiculous games we own.

Fight vampires in Castlevania, survive Raccoon City in Resident Evil 2, battle giant monsters in Godzilla, or take on demons in Doom 64.
We've got original consoles from the 1980s through the 2000s, including Famicom, PC Engine, Super Famicom, Saturn, PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, and GameCube.
Play alone, team up with friends, challenge strangers, or just grab a drink and watch someone get absolutely destroyed by a 30-year-old video game.

🧟 THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: CO-OP SURVIVAL CHALLENGE
Two players. Two light guns. One shared fate.
Grab a partner and fight your way through The House of the Dead 2 (1998) on the Sega Dreamcast, projected onto the big screen.
The rules are simple: Survive as long as possible together. The moment either player dies, your run is over.
The duo that makes it the furthest wins.
No experience required. Just find someone you trust with your life. Preferably someone who's played a video game before.
