Think & Drink – “Press Start for a Retro Arcade History Tour”

Ready to level up your pop culture nostalgia?

Our next Think & Drink is blasting into the golden era of arcade gaming— an exclusive prelude to Comicopolis 2025!

Join Brian Colin—legendary game designer behind classics like Rampage, Spy Hunter, Xenophobe, Discs of Tron, and more—as he takes us on a behind-the-cabinet tour of 1980s arcade gaming. As CEO of Game Refuge and a member of the International Video Game Hall of Fame, Brian has over 90 arcade games under his belt; he’ll share insider insights, art, and wild stories from gaming’s earliest days.

As a special bonus, Brian will also share what it was like bringing Rampageto the big screen with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson!

Whether you’re a lifelong gamer, pop-culture fan, or just love offbeat history, this free event is your chance to press start on nostalgia, fandom, and creativity.

Bonus perk: Registration gets you a discount code to use at the Public Landing Restaurant before the event! Details below.
