WHAT makes grown men drool over primitive computer games and heavy-duty vinyl reissues of Supertramp?
The whiff of nostalgia? A world glimpsed through rose-tinted Speedos?
Michael de Grussa will cash in on this psychological phenomena when he provides games consoles for High Score, a nostalgia-inspired games lounge.
“The games were better back then, they lasted longer and they were easier to play,” he says.
“I guess you had a bit of a social aspect as well, because if it was multiplayer you couldn’t do it online and had to all be in the same room with four controllers.
de Grussa will provide around 10 consoles for High Score, including the Mega Drive, N64, SNES and PS1.
“It’s an excuse to act like a child again,” he laughs, “and alcohol is involved.”
High Score is on Sunday at the Defectors Bars, above The Flying Scotsman, from 3-10pm on Beaufort Street.
