If you yearn for childhood days spent scrapping on Street Fighter, tussling with Doctor Robotnik or beating ’em up Barbarian-style on Golden Axe, hot-foot it down to the Centre for Computing History this month where you can binge on classic games to your heart’s content.

The Arcade Experience on 2 September will offer a unique chance to play with more than 20 of the best arcade machines from the 80s and 90s – all set up on free-play (it’s your childhood dream come true!). There will also be nostalgia-tastic tunes blaring, plus a fully-licensed bar from Lord Conrad’s Brewery – not to mention a burger van to keep you well-fuelled and ready for more joystick joy. 

Over 18’s only. Tickets are £10 in advance, or £12, if there are some left on the night, which runs 7pm-12am
