It was a little more empty this year than last. Still good fun to be had.More companies were there this year. Beenox (Activision), Sony decided to make a come back, Rockstar had some bigger space – giving away huge amounts of swag as always. Microsoft and the Xbox were also there showing some released and at least one unreleased title (KUF).

Nintendo had it’s thing going with some zapper games and Mario Galaxy. We were told that Brawl would be there but that didn’t happen. No sweat! we changed our competition from Frog Bog (INTV) to Smash Bros. 64. We were one of the busiest zones because of it. Winners walked out with some classic NES or SNES games.

I’m eager to see what next year’s theme will be. they had the space station theme this year. I won’t be part of the game to create the zone for a fourth year, but i have faith that the team that was there would be happy to continue my steps. I have some other stuff to do around that time of the year (with the MIGS and all), but i’m also working on some other stuff that has to do with Arcadia

Not to forget Junkie XL.

I was the main organiser of the Flashback Zone, and this is how it came about.When members of the CCJVQ learned of the festival, Yan (then club president), contacted the organisers of the festival who liked the idea of having a retro zone.Unfortunately Yan became very busy and unable to continue with the organisation. He then left it to me to continue.

We built an area with consoles and portables for people to play. Both CCJVQ and CGCC were represented. Atari was generous enough to display their (yet unreleased) Atari Flashback 2.0 at the festival. I must say it was one of the most popular areas of the Festival, certainly one having the most Media attached to it.
