Are you a fan of Mario Kart, Tekken or Donkey Kong? A retro gaming conference is happening in Dublin this October and we're buzzing.
The retro gaming conference is called 8 Bit, the first of its kind in Ireland, and will take place in Griffith College from the 21 - 22 October. The 8 Bit Conference is made up of people who "breathe retro games" and the event will cover everything from the Atari 2600 to the Playstation 1 (yes, that's a retro gaming console now).

Stalls and exhibitions will offer you retro goods and consoles and Youtube and gaming experts will be discussing all things gaming. Speedruns, beat-em ups and fps’s with amazing prizes and an auction for hard to find retro games.
Here's a breakdown of what retro games you can expect to play at the event and the tournaments that will take place:
