In Retrospekt: Adelaide Arcade Guide
By Andrew Gray
Greetings, dear reader, and welcome to the first Adelaide Arcade Guide!
If you’re tired of gaming at home in nothing but your underwear, this guide will help you find an arcade or venue where you can game instead. Whether you’re only wearing your underwear or not remains entirely your decision, however. And the law’s.
This is the first version of our guide, and as such is rather modest, like my handsome self. We hope to develop it with your help! Know of more places to game? Or perhaps you have something to say about one of the locations listed? Found some information we listed that is incorrect? Why not leave a comment or start a thread in the forums?
Why not, indeed!
Now, on with the guide.

Anything and everything you could think of when it comes to the geeky culture of Japan. Video game trinkets, soundtracks, keyrings, odds and ends, model kits, t-shirts, and bags too! They sell some video games, but mainly for current generation consoles pretty much. Nevertheless, the apparel and other cool stuff they have there of video game culture will whet the appetite nicely!

A drive with Paul across the northern suburbs.. here’s what I got
Not only speaking to just about every GameTraders store in the northern part of SA, and other notable stores like Amusementworx, Games 4 All and GameBizz. As well as handing out flyers and cards to really enthusiastic folk at said stores :) I also managed to score the following:
From GameTraders Parabanks
From Games 4 All:
Super Metroid
Stunt Race FX
From GameTraders Prospect:
Vortex
From GameTraders Norwood:
Bonanza Bros. (Master System)
From GameTraders Ingle Farm:
Super Punch Out
AV Cable for SNES/N64/GC
All in all a successful day of spreading the good word of Retrospekt and getting to chat to great folk who are into old-school gaming :) Merry Xmas y’all!

Little-Scale - Chiptune artist from Adelaide, Australia →
Have a listen to his work when you have some time. It’s damn good! The site has free downloads of his music as well. I’m mentioning Little-Scale also because he will be performing at the Blip Festival over in New York.

EVAC - Adelaide University's own Video Game Club →
(from evac.org.au)
EVAC is the Adelaide Universitys very own Video Game club! You can find us playing the some of our favourite latest and classic games every Friday evening during the course of each University term.
You can currently find us playing:
Rock Band, Naruto GNT 4, Street Fighter IV, Super Smash Bros, Tekken 6, Mario Kart, Pac-man VS, Muscle March and much more!
University may be over, and exams are coming up (good luck to all the students by the way!) 2010 will surely bring a whole new year for gaming whilst not studying at Adelaide Uni.
