Overview

Insert Coins combines club tunes, retro gaming, graffiti art and geek culture at Oxford Art Factory starting Thursday, January 19 with The Darkness II. Thanks to 2K Games Australia, this comic book horror shooter will be fully playable on ten different screens across two rooms, way ahead of its release on February 10. You’ll also get access to a custom ‘80s style milk bar (mmm… alcoholic milkshakes), contemplate foot-long dogs at a New York-style hot dog vendor (wow… so many condiments), and rediscover your skills at pinball, arcade and tabletop units, including Pacman, Addams Family, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Shinobi, Back to the Future, Fish Tales and World Cup Soccer.

DJs will spin classic tracks from the ‘80s and ‘90s all night long and the Insert Coin(s) team have even got some graffiti artists coming to create live art inspired by the video games of yesteryear. Since the launch event last September, this event series has become a hit with gamers, geeks and social gypsies everywhere, so take a boozy trip down memory lane and revisit the all-time classics from the 8-bit era. What the heck happened to my pinball machine points anyway? Game on!
