Zaps Retro Gaming

We were going to open an awesome Retro Arcade Bar in Bournemouth but it didn't work out. 🙁

Game Over.
Sorry to tell you this but Zaps is not happening after all. More details are on our homepage

We'll keep the Twitter account running as a general Retro Gaming account (because retro games are ace) but we're afraid that the arcade is no more.

If you like card games and the never-ending combative nature of the video game industry, a friend of mine has created something on Kickstarter that combines both. Huzzah!

For the last few months Myself and Ross have been busy working on our own projects. Ross was responsible for the overall look & feel of Zaps (including our awesome logo). He's now revealed his new endeavour, a Handcrafted Design & Lettering Studio - https://t.co/f2DtgIKVgp

Liked the Zaps logo and branding? The designer (and Zaps co-founder) is now a rebel designer-for-hire…

Now you can game whilst doing maths!
It’s like the future..... BUT NOW.

@VinnieUK The computer works but I need to repair/replace the tape deck.

Having a big clean up. Check out my C64 collection that I’ve just dug out. Some proper good games in here. #c64 #RETROGAMING

Got into a Halo MCC session with some chums last night. I like how the lag from 10 years ago has been so authentically reproduced.

@RetroGamer_Daz Yeah that was one of the first to go.

Q*Bert is being collected today. Bye bye chum, you were good fun. ☹️

[Zaps Retro Gaming @ZapsCo]

@Retro_Throwback Good luck. We tried to set one up in Bournemouth but we couldn’t manage it. Lots of reasons why. Mostly money, local council requirements and how unreliable the machines themselves were (we couldn’t get a quick local repair solution in place).

[Zaps Retro Gaming @ZapsCo]

We needed some new stuff to decorate the lounge shelves so naturally we embraced a retro gaming theme.

Having a HUGE clear up today. First time in ages that all my Megadrive games have seen the light of day. #RETROGAMING #sega #segamegadrive #segagenesis

A few people have asked what we’re doing now seeing as ‘Zaps’ isn’t happening.
Well, here is what one of us is up to.
It’s a weekly DJ Set/podcast thing called @RetroHouseMix based around old House Music. A new ep is available every Friday.

@7Ten Awesome. Cheers. 👍

Just dug my Xbox 360 out of storage so I could upload some Cloud Saves. Totally forgot that it had Outrun Online Arcade installed on it. Such a good conversion.

[Zaps Retro Gaming @ZapsCo]

@7Ten They pretty much have all been sold. Some to collectors but others will be out there in the wild.

[Zaps Retro Gaming @ZapsCo]

Finally added the new control panel to Track and Field today. Looks great!

[Zaps Retro Gaming @ZapsCo]

@7Ten Sorry to hear it man. Your enthusiasm for arcade gaming is a benefit to the community.
Having a dip is totally normal though. It’s good to recognise it and take a break as needed. It’ll help loads and when it’s time you’ll feel ready to bounce back.

I just dug out my old XBrick copy of GTA: San Andreas. It’s now Xbone compatible plus it gets a free update to the Xbox 360 version.
Noice!
