It's about the games

Music and booze are always good at a party, but what about the games? At the E3 Outpost we've got all the consoles hooked up to 50" HDTV's. Mario Kart or Madden, Call of Duty or Condemned, you'll have a massive game library to choose from. We'll also be handing out prizes for completing game challenges against the online community who can't make it to E3.

Remote control camera is live

Got Bit? 8 bit weapon to perform at E3 Outpost

8 bit weapon will delight the ears and eyes at Retrotopia on Wednesday May 10th.

8 Bit Weapon is the brainchild of Seth Sternberger and has performed across two continents with an arsenal of 8 bit weapons, which include a Commodore 64 and 128, a couple of Nintendo Gameboy classics, an Intellivision synthesizer, hybrid lo-fi acoustic-electric drums, and an assortment of other vintage and toy synthesizers.

Inspired by classic videogame soundtracks and electronic music from the 70s and 80s, 8 Bit Weapon delivers a sound that is as unique as it is original. Clever melodies, nostalgic atmosphere, and energetic beats create a decidedly modern sound while maintaining a fun, lo-tech aesthetic.

Intellivision LIVES at the E3 Outpost

runningman.gif
If you grew up in the 80's you remember the Intellivision game console, the iconic "running man" logo, the George Plimpton commercials, and of course the unique controller with the number bubbles and circular disc.

Intellivision was the first 16-bit videogame system. With realistic graphics and challenging games, Intellivision quickly earned millions of loyal fans. Thanks to the support of those fans, Intellivision was the only videogame system to survive the 1983 industry crash. Consoles and new games were made until 1990, well into the Nintendo era.

Today, Intellivision is the only retrogaming company run by the developers who were there at the beginning: The Blue Sky Rangers.

On Wednesday May 10th Intellivision Presents Retrotopia at the E3 Outpost.
This nostalgic trip back to the future of Intellivision will feature old and new Intellivision games, musical performances, the Astrosmash Cocktail, musical performances, contests, food, and lots of surprises.

This is a private party but you can win tickets! Watch this space in the coming days for details.

High Score to be screened at E3 Outpost

Although technology continues to evolve, a group of die-hard gamers refuses to abandon the classic arcade games of yesteryear. The 80's live on for these enthusiasts, who compete against each other and history to record the world's highest scores. Portland gamer Bill Carlton is one of the most brazen, fearlessly taking on some of the toughest records on the books.

HIGH SCORE follows Bill as he attempts to take down the Atari classic Missle Command and its twenty year-old record. To get the 80 million points he'll have to play the game on one quarter for over two days straight. There is no pause button. There will be no sleep. There can be only one victor in this classic story of Man versus Missle Command.
