The Retro Ball

The Retro Ball

The Retro Ball was a charity video gaming event held in Warwickshire in December 2005. The proceeds of the gaming event went to the Everyman Campaign run by The Institute of Cancer Research to raise awareness of and funding for prostate and testicular cancer.

Guests included many famous faces from video gaming past, including Jon Hare from Sensible Software, International Karate programmer Archer Maclean and ex-Codemasters programmers the Oliver Twins. The event was sponsored by online retro game retailer Console Passion Retro Games.

The Retro Ball is set to become an annual event, with the proceeds going to a different charity each year.
