Throwback Thursday: Retro Game Night

Remember the amazing graphics of Pac Man, Donkey Kong, and your favorite video games back in the day? Emma Clark Library is hosting Throwback Thursday: Retro Game Night on July 28 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. in celebration of old-school gaming!

Local Three Village resident, Gale Putt, has generously loaned the library several classic gaming systems which she and her late husband Jay collected over several decades from the 1970’s – 2000’s. The gaming systems that will be on display for patrons to try include the Odyssey 2 (1978), Intellivision (1979), various Atari systems (1977 – 1986), Coleco Vision (1982), various Nintendo systems (1985 – 2001), Sega Genesis 16 (1989), and Virtual Boy (1995).

Re-experience games you played as a child, or those that your parents have told you about, and sample games such as Pick Axe Pete, Gorf, Pepper II, Star Strike, Star Wars, E.T., Space Invaders, Pong, Star Raiders, Sonic the Hedgehog, and more. The Vincent R. O’Leary Community Room will be transformed into a video game lover’s dream!

This event is open to all (residents and nonresidents). There is no need to register, and all ages are welcome (the perfect family event!).
