Join us for retro gaming on Raspberry Pi single board computers! There will be several retro gaming stations and we'll help you learn about doing it yourself. We'll also demo the media center capabilities, and there will be refreshments and a raffle to keep you fed and amused. Best of all, it is a fundraising event - the proceeds benefit HeatSync Labs!

Fundraiser

HeatSync Labs is a nonprofit hackerspace. Our objective is to empower engineers, artists, and inventors to push the limits of technology beyond its intended use. Raspberry Pi Retro Gaming Night is a fundraising event to help us continue teaching the next generation of mad scientists and avant-garde creators.

We have a number of fun ways to support the organization during Retro Gaming Night. You can buy raffle tickets for a chance to win retro gaming and media center themed prizes. You can make direct donations. You can buy refreshments at the snack stand. And you can even sign up to become a paying member, which gives you additional benefits from all the tools and classes we offer.

HeatSync Labs is one of the nonprofit treasures of The Valley of The Sun. We've launched independent startups that have become growing businesses and given entrepreneurs and artists the ability to explore their dreams. Join us for Retro Gaming Night, have fun meeting some other gamers, and chip in to support a great cause!

Retro Gaming

Thousands of Games

There are thousands of games out there, here is a small sampling of what is included on bootable SD cards, USB sticks, and portable hard drives that you can buy from Amazon.

Retro Gaming Hardware

A lot of the joy of remembering the classic games from your youth is about the sensory experience. Standing at a big cabinet in the bowling alley, or sitting in front of a big cathode ray tube on your friend's couch. While the heady aroma of bowling alley shoes and nacho cheese may be elusive, a nice reproduction arcade or console control can really help with the authenticity of the experience!
