In advance of this year’s bootleg-themed Duplicade event, resident retrogame enthusiast Rachel Simone Weil hosts a late-night program that pays tribute to 8- and 16-bit rip-offs, pirates, hacks, and other questionably-legal games.
Starting at 12:00 midnight, Weil will present a curated playlist of weird and wonderful bootlegs from the ’90s and ’00s along with live commentary. The presentation will be directly followed by a tournament in which players will go head-to-head on a surprise selection of authentic bootleg games.
Curated by Austin independent game collective JUEGOS RANCHEROS, Fantastic Arcade is an annual celebration of indie games which takes place at the Alamo Drafthouse during the theater's Fantastic Fest genre film festival.
