the Re-Play Festival is organized by the eponymous association and has no other objective than that of being able to share, with visitors, a passion for video games of the past. So, even if you will find some shops that will allow you to treat yourself with giveaways or other things, most of the surface is covered by playful and free content. This year, the festival is expanding and there will be a second room filled with nostalgia.

We will be present at the show with our virtual reality stand which will offer retro and neo-retro VR experiences. You will be able to immerse yourself in the bedroom of a teenager from these years of the golden age of video games in order to play in total immersion with period consoles or even enjoy recent games which take up and adapt the codes of those years in order to offer immersive experiences, modern but so retro!
