About this event
This summer... For the first time... Since last time... Which may have been the third
time.... or the fourth time... the world ever experienced......
RetCon time!! No, not RetCon time, just... RetCon!
YES! It is West London’s pre-eminent Retro Gaming Computer Festival
Back to give you one final chance* to tolerate excessive use of full stops and to enjoy the digital
magic of the 70s, 80s, 90s (and some of the better stuff that came along after Y2K failed to
destroy civilisation).
Game like a 1980s child on all-time great computers and consoles such as the Spectrum, C64, NES,
Master System, CPC and 2600.
Go 16 bits of giddy on the ground-breaking Commodore Amiga, as you cut down the enemy in
Cannon Fodder, slam dunk steel balls in Speedball II and monkey around on some island.
Batter Balrog, slap Sagat silly and beat down on M.Bison in the original Street Fighter 2 on the
incredible Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
Speed around in Super Sprint, take on teeming tides of foes in Turrican II and roam perilous ruins
with Rick Dangerous on the 2 million selling, amazing Atari ST.
Tell your grandkids you played on the inimitable Vectrex and the legendary SAM Coupé and that
you:
• Met titans of the computing world
• Chatted with collectors & enthusiasts
• Clocked up high scores on the funniest games there ever was
• Trusted that we are not making up words*
Not only that, but you can also play (and even win) fantastic gaming competitions!
Browse and buy quality original merchandise from our RetCon partners!

RetCon presents Ghostly Capers, created by Lee Chops.
Super Hero Steve is your host for the much anticipated Retro Convention but the venue is haunted by mischievous ghouls. They have hidden all the retro gear! Dodge their traps, find all the hidden items and retrieve the gate key before everyone arrives!
Exclusive to RetCon 2023 for the ZX Spectrum, don't miss the chance to grab your copy! Limited numbers available only on the day, first come first served. Also pick up a range of new RetCon merchandise.
