Sunday, 27th June
7:00 PM - 11:00 PM

Venue: Hare and Hounds

Back at the Hare with chiptunes, pixelated animation and live gaming.

The evening kicks off with High Score (dir: Jeremy Mack, 2006), a portrait of one man's crusade to achieve the all-time high score on the arcade version of classic Atari game Missile Command - a feat which involves two days of solid gaming on one quarter, with no pause button.

Other attractions:

>> guest DJ Mike Johnston (Mike in Mono, ZX Spectrum Orchestra) will transport us to an electro world hand-built from chunks of code;

>> 8bit Lounge* will provide additional music and some games you can try out;

>> 8bit Pete will present a multimedia lecture on Mario as Music;

>> and we'll bring a bagful of shorts too, including some highlights from the recently-wrapped 2 Weeks 2 Make It challenge.

Four quid on the door.

* "8Bit Lounge is a night run on the second tuesday of each month at the Hare & Hounds in Kings Heath. As lovers of all things geeky and techno-based, we aim to provide a night of consoles, visuals, 8bit themes, arcade anthems, pure electro and all around fun!!"
