Retro gaming tournament to be held at Peterborough United stadium

The Double Jump Retro Gaming Tournament 2020 will be held at the ground in London Road on Saturday, February 29 from 11am to 5pm.

If you were a whiz at Mario Kart, fiendishly unbeatable at Street Fighter or unstoppable at Pacman you can show off your skills and compete to win prizes and bragging rights.

The event is free to attend with money being raised for mental health charity Mind.

Organisers Suleiman and Jameella said: “We aim to create a day of fun and games along with a healthy competition with some superb prizes whilst bringing awareness and raising money to the Mind charity and showing that no matter how you feel, there is always support and community.

“This is a family friendly event fit for everyone with any experience of gaming. Even if all you have ever played is the occasional Candy Crush it’s all good. It’s also a great chance to see games from the past, whether you played them and wish to revisit a trip down memory lane or even just to show your kids or other family members just how addictive and challenging bouncing a pixel around a square screen could be.”
