The Only Place For Ghoulish Retro Gaming This Halloween Night
We're stoked to see so much retro stuff going on down at Cityside this Halloween Weekend from movies to theatre and more. Our suggestion? Join us for a whole heap of horrific horror games at the Retro Room from 8pm - midnight on Halloween Night and you can bring some drinks too as it's a private ticket only event! Strictly 18+ please!
THE TERRORDROME TOURNAMENT!
We've battled the hell that is installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 in 2026 and lived to tell the tale and will be bringing you the classic fan-made horror fighter Terrordrome on the big screen. Think Mortal Kombat but with your favourite horror icon from Chucky through Ash, Pinhead, Pumpkinhead, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and even the Tall Man from Phantasm and Herbert West from Re-Animator. You can win movie tickets to the Evil Dead and the Exorcist at the Movie House on Sunday 1st, arcade vouchers and more. Get your tickets here
VINTAGE TOYS! PREDATORS! MANDALORIANS!
We've teamed up with the vintage toy geeks at the Collector's Vault to bring a Vintage Toy Fair to the space outside the Retro Room from 11am until 6pm on Halloween day Saturday October 31st. Think Star Wars, vintage horror toys, Masters of the Universe and much more. The toy fair is free to all, pick yourself up some nostalgia! And we'll have The Belfast Predator prowling the centre too looking for prey and the Mandalorean Protectors making sure he doesn't get out of line!
TONS OF TERRIFYING TITLES!
We're scouring the archives for horror titles you may not have played before from Mr Bones to Vampire Saviour through Blood, Hexen and more. And we're going hardcore on the consoles with Doom 3, Silent Hill, Resident Evil 2, Halloween the game and many more loaded up to spook you to your socks once more! Check out our social media channels for a preview of what we're loading up... Instagram, Tik-Tok, X (Twitter) Facebook and YouTube
And of course our full free play arcade will be there for you to enjoy 80s and 90s classics like Street Fighter 2, Space Ace, Tekken 3, Mortal Kombat, Rygar, Enduro Racer, R-Type, Pacman, Wonderboy, Guitar Hero and many more.
SIMPLER PRICING FOR PRIVATE HIRES!
We've simplified our pricing for privately hiring the arcade based on your feedback and also understanding our business better with a year of trading under our belts. We've moved from our previous price per head model to a flat £100 per hour fee with a minimum two hour booking. You can book online now with a 30% deposit at https://book.retroroombelfast.com
See you down at Cityside this Halloween... it'll be dead good.
