Back to the past: an unforgettable afternoon of retrogaming

This Saturday, October 21, the municipality’s youth commission offered adolescents a unique experience by organizing a “retrogaming” video game workshop, in collaboration with the Homo Ludens Associés association. This initiative aroused great enthusiasm among young people, aged 10 to 14, who had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of video games from the era of their parents, or even their grandparents.

NES, Super Nintendo, Game Cube…

The retrogaming workshop brought together fourteen participants, all curious and impatient to discover the treasures of the video game past. The room was adorned with iconic retro consoles such as the NES, Super Nintendo, N64 and Game Cube, among others. These consoles, which marked the childhood of many adults, allowed young people to immerse themselves in a world different from what they know today. The joysticks, colorful buttons and retro graphics immediately piqued their curiosity.

In addition to the consoles, Romain, the host, offered a variety of board games on the theme of video games, thus providing a social and interactive dimension to the event.

The reaction of Laure, the mother of a 10-year-old boy, perfectly sums up the atmosphere of the event: “Ho! It was my games console when I was your age”, she shared with emotion while watching his son try out a game on the NES.

The municipality’s youth commission has set the objective of offering three free events per year for adolescents. The retrogaming workshop is part of this initiative aimed at offering entertaining, educational and fun activities to young people. Previous activities, notably the pastry workshop and the photo competition, have already been a resounding success.
