Joypad was born out of our enduring love of retro gaming. Like everyone who played these games as a kid, we remembered them with a heady mixture of exhilaration and frustration: the highs and lows experienced as we swung between defeat and triumph.
… But we wanted more than just the memories. We wanted to bring back the real feeling of those spine-tingling thrills and that youthful enthusiasm – to transform a misty-eyed sense of nostalgia into rediscovery, excitement and a newfound enjoyment of these classic games. To rekindle the camaraderie, the passion, the familiar jokes and the cheering support, and to create a space where you can lose yourself in pure amusement and uninhibited delight.
We bring our equipment, expertise and enthusiasm to any kind of event: club nights, private parties, festivals, corporate events, team building, pop-ups, cinema screenings, conventions, product launches, weddings, birthdays – literally any place there’s a bunch of people who’d enjoy bashing some buttons and some video games, from old school classics to the latest releases on modern consoles (and isn’t that almost everybody?!). Any size, any place, anything to do with gaming: we’re there!
