Insert Coin(s) Retro Gaming night!

Like games? Like Music? Course you do! Oxford Art Factory is putting on another round of Insert Coin(s) an event for the adult gamer.

Attendees pay just $10 for a night of retro gaming (tabletop, pinball and standing arcade units) and the latest gaming titles). DJs will spin a blend of 80s, 90s and modern rock and upcoming Aussie band Glass Towers will take to the main stage.

The series will also showcase modern gaming favourites and upcoming games from leading publishers, giving gamers and casual fans a chance to sample the latest titles ahead of release.

Co-founder Patrick Kolan adds, "We were overwhelmed by the success and sheer fun of the first Insert Coin(s). It was an insanely fun night, pure and simple. Old school and casual gamers, music and art fans mingled with the retro and new games and there were a lot of red eyes the next day in Sydney."

A custom 80s-style milk bar, built into the venue, will serve alcoholic milkshakes and there will be free candy and surprises all night! Doors open at 6pm.

As arcades become a rarity, nights like Insert Coin(s) give a new generation a taste of yesteryear - but with the edge of 'cool' that patrons have come to expect from the team at Oxford Art Factory.

Pinball machines including - Addams Family, Fish Tales, Back to the Future, World Cup Soccer, Terminator 2 + Getaway, classic arcade games Pacman, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Frogger, Space Invaders + more, Tekken 5, Marvel Vs Capcom, Raiden Fighters Jet, Street Fighter 2, Metal Slug X, Simpsons, King of Fighters, Wonderboy, Shinobi, Double Dragon and more!
