UGC Game & Watch
The Only UGC Event of 2024 - June 22nd, 2024 from 1-? PM.
The heavy rains this year have forced me to do some major renovations this on the basement, so I will only be hosting one event in 2024.
We are doing a Game & Watch gathering, something I have wanted to do for quite some time.
These events will be about one video game-themed film and will tie as many games as possible to that theme.
No contest or prizes, just a movie and games.
$5 Cover. BYOB if you want to drink. Chips, soda and $5 in quarters provided.
Featured Movie
Super Mario Bros.
Release Year: 1993
Starring: Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper
Summary: A bomb in the theater and a terrible movie in its own right, Super Mario Bros. is very loosely based on the video game of the same name. The first big-budget video game title was experimental, with Nintendo giving the producers free rein, believing the strength of the franchise would be enough to sustain the film. It was a financial failure but has gathered a cult following over the years. It's so terrible, we just had to make it the first movie event!
The two plumbers (from Brooklyn, apparently) meet a strange young archaeologist who has discovered dinosaur bones in NY. In helping this woman, Mario and Luigi get pulled into an alternate dimension where they must help defeat the evil President Koopa, played by Dennis Hopper.
