PHIBSBORO PUB THE Back Page is mostly known for its sport – and occasional It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia party.

But later this month there will be a slight change of tack:

Because they’re hosting a Super Nintendo night with Mario Kart and Street Fighter tournaments

The event will be put on by RetroGaming.ie in the pub on Saturday, January 28th, and it’s going to be a feast of old school:

We’re gonna pack The Back Page with SNES Gold, with two SNES tournaments topping the bill in Super Mario Kart and Street Fighter II Turbo. We’re also throwing in a bunch of free to play side games like the classic Super Bomberman, Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat II, Super Mario All Stars, NES’s Duck Hunt and more!

Mortal Kombat II!

They’re selling tickets for it here if you fancy entering the tournaments, but outside of those the above games will be free to play.

Beep, beep… boop
