Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You

We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

$15,000

Video games have saturated our culture for 30-something years, so if you haven’t waxed nostalgic about them yet, you’re way behind the curve. Catch up at “ZAP! Vintage Video Games.”

“It’ll be an interesting cross-generational experience… a great opportunity to show a time period that has become kind of distant,” says Jody Crago, museum administrator for the city of Chandler. The opening day festivities will include a GameTruck full of contemporary games, snackage from California Pizza Kitchen, and new game designs from Rainbow Studios and the University of Advancing Technology. And don’t forget to check out the three-day Atari Flashback 2 challenge for entrants 7 and older beginning June 19.

Tuesdays-Saturdays, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Starts: June 14. Continues through Sept. 6, 2008
