Games have come a long way since Pac-Man, but who cares about progress when you can splash around in the large lagoon of nostalgia? Hit up the biggest retro gaming event in Texas on one or all three days to see such guests as Nolan Bushnell, David Crane, and Audacity Games – plus many more. You can also bust a move to classic game crooners like Descendants of Erdrick and Super Hi Tops, or step into the interactive concert experience Extra Lives. Ditch the Switch and resurrect the joystick – for this weekend, at least. – James Scott
