the TORONTRON

The TORONTRON is a 1982 arcade cabinet we’ve retrofitted to play six great games by local Toronto indies.

You can see it in action in the official demo here, and other videos of it at Flash in the Can festival at the Hilton and Toronto Comic Arts Festival at the Toronto Reference Library.

Previous and future tour stops include:
Nov. 1, 2009: Canzine Artcade
Apr. 24-27, 2010: Flash In The Can
May 8-9, 2010: Toronto Comic Arts Festival
May, 2010: Function 13
June and July, 2010: InterAccess
October 2, 2010: Nuit Blanche

We are taking suggestions for places that the TORONTRON could visit and be available for free play to the public.
