Thrillema and Hal-Con bring you Wizard on the big screen! 80’s classics at their best, awww, I barely remember this movie but I saw it so many times when I was to young to get it

Short synopsis, Kid plays a mean pin ball…. and a lot of other stuff to.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

September 9 · 9:30pm – 11:30pm
ParkLane Empire Theatre

Thrillema is screening the 80s classic. Find yourself a nintendo power glove and lets all go to California! Well not actually, but will pretend at Parklane theatre Sept 9th!

Remember the days when you had to blow into your Nintendo to get it to work. Remember how angry that made you, now we just deal with machines that get a magic red circle that just cuts your system and fun off. Well I wish I could still blow into my machine, t…hey dont make machines like they used too, and they sure as hell dont make movies like they used too.
Thrillema is going to be celebrating the good old days by playing one of my favourite childhood films from the 80s THE WIZARD!
The movie that taught you how to get the warp whistle in Super Mario Bros 3, how to mac on a Red Head, and how the Power Glove is so bad.
Expect some Super Mario Bros 3 action to happen before the show.

Tickets $7. are available CASH ONLY

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We’re going to start y’all off with a few games, but the rest of the stations will be entirely open for everyone to bring their own games! We’ll announce a few systems that will be available, but if this is going to work we really need you guys to bring us the games you want to play! With that said, we have:

Tekken 6 (360) – There has been some interest in… getting a Tekken scene started so we decided to help these guys with some exposure. Try it out if you never played it before and even if you’re not a fan, give it a second chance. You never know, right?

Super Street Fighter IV (360) – Who doesn’t play a little Street Fighter, am I right?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (NES in the video challenge machine) – Catchy music and jump kicks for everyone!

Shmup station (360) – Deathsmiles, Raiden IV, 1-Up and more! See all the unique shmups local reviewer Serraxor has to show off!

Scott Pilgrim vs The World (PS3) – If the following video doesn’t explain why this should be awesome, then I don’t know what else to say ha ha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAY4vNJd7A8

On top of those five games, we’ll have a Super Nintendo, a Nintendo 64 and a Dreamcast set up for people to bring and show off their favourite games. We might even have room for another system so let us know what you want and what you’re bringing!

See you all on the 15th!
