We’re feeling incredibly proud to share that Base Arcade has been given the opportunity to host the European Premiere of Arcades & Love Songs: The Ballad of Walter Day, this weekend during our 3rd Anniversary event.
Coming from the team behind The King of Kong, this film is a gentle, sincere look at the life of Walter Day. It’s a thoughtful journey through the story of the "Father of Esports" and his passion for music.
🎥 The Details:
📍 Location: Banana Block, Belfast
📅 Date: May 9th | 5:30 PM
🎤 Guest of Honor: We’re very grateful that Walter Day himself of Twin Galaxies fame will join us for a brief, informal Q&A after the film.
🎟️ How to attend:
Entry to the screening and Q&A is completely free. To help us manage numbers, please just grab a free ticket at basearcade.com.
🍻 A small bonus: If you have a ticket for any of Base Arcade's sessions on May 8–10, and you're one of the first 25 people in your seat for the movie, we'll have a free beer waiting for you
🕹️ We'll also have Walter overseeing an Arcade classics competition on the night to see who can set the highest scores on Pac-Man and Donkey with a 3min time limit on each.
It’s a rare treat to have a pioneer of gaming history visit us, and we’re just happy to be able to share the experience. We hope to see you there. 👏🕹️
