The Saturday Club

Today brought us the very first Saturday Club. The Saturday Club is all about spending a Saturday afernoon with good people, good food, good culture and a few pints to finish it all off. Todays TSC consisted of Dom, John, Julie and Garreth.

For the good food bit we went to Windsor Castle, Notting Hill, and for culture to the Science Museum to see the Game On exhibition: £8 to enter a giant play-as-much-as-you-like arcade with the whole history of videogaming under your fingertips, featuring: A genuine PDP-1 with the legendary Spacewar, tabletop Pacman units, Nintendos, Galaga machines, strange and rare Japanese units, headphone installations with classic SID tunes from the likes of Rob Hubbard and Ben Dalgish, and everything else.

Dom found a PANG! machine which is still as good today as it was back then. Shame there was only one joypad. Although if there was two we probably would still be there going at it right now.

We ended this splendid day in Covent Garden for some light shopping.
