We got this tent to fill with retro junk!

During Eth0:2010 Summer there will be a public, complete retrogaming experience. While eth0 focusses its event around hacking and security, there is enough room for slacking. One such place is the Eth0:2010 retrogaming experience, where all consoles and games from our past are present, as well as some new ones. You know; the nes, megadrive, 2600, pong consoles and more.

Here you will find all pre-event details, so everyone can see what's going on and possibly contribute.

Donations are welcome!

Donated consoles will be freely lended to events in Europe. First event will be eth0:2010 Summer.

Consoles

The tent will have plenty of room for consoles. A quick estimate says about 20, with some spares/optional in boxes. We try to lend consoles from our friends, our lend them from our own stash. There is also a public 'nobody-owns-this' stash of consoles, donated by rd and maybe others in the future.

Needed

These consoles / games are smash hits and should be present.

• Magnavox Oddesey
• Dedicated pong consoles (such as the telstar or atari ones)
• Neo Geo
• Super Nes
• NEC Turboduo
• Atari 2600 and others
• Things with wood-style plating
  • todo: create a list of great games and titles, so the best is here..

Stash

The current collection is not yet considered full-retro. This is what we have.

• Dreamcast + controllers and games
• 2x Playstation 1 with guns and games
• NES 8bit + controllers but no games
• Gameboy original + games
• Atari Flashback (20 old school games in a slimmed down atari housing)
• Gamecube White, no controllers
• Playstation 1 (modded), 4 original controllers, 1 unofficial and a stack of games (heart of darkness, worms pinball and more)
• Nintendo 64, 1 controller, mario kart 64 and pokemon stadium, gameboy transfer pack
• Gameboy color (green)

So its not a lot, and we hope donations + lending ups this list to at least 20 different consoles.
