Arcades & Love Songs

Sat 9 May 5:30-7pm @ Banana Block

As part of our third anniversary celebrations, we're so honoured to have been given the kind opportunity to host the European Premiere of Arcades & Love Songs: The Ballad of Walter Day. 🎬✨

Coming from the team behind The King of Kong, this film is a gentle, sincere look at the life of Walter Day. It's a thoughtful journey through the story of the "Father of Esports" and his time with Twin Galaxies.

🎤 Guest of Honor

We're very grateful that Walter Day himself is making the trip to join us for a brief, informal Q&A after the film.

🎟️ How to attend

We'd love to have you join us, so entry is completely FREE.

🍺 A small thanks

To show our appreciation for anyone who's bought a ticket to the arcade, the first 25 people at the screening with arcade tickets will get a beer on us.

If you're booked for the 7–11pm arcade slot, feel free to drop by early to catch the screening and the chat!

This is a rare treat to have a pioneer of gaming history visit us, and we're just happy to be able to share the experience. We hope to see you there!
