This weekend the sports-monsters are escaping the rain and icy winds of Melbourne and heading to an Italian summer to take part in the Summer Games Party. Organised by Playing the Game, the party will cap off the ENTER: Intersections of People and Technology festival in Padua. Summer Games Party will fill a piazza with a dozen indie and retro games ready for the public to play.

If you live in Padua, or know anyone who does, (tell them to) head over to Piazza Mazzini on Saturday evening and play some PMPY for us! While you’re/they’re at it, play one of our favourites: J.S. Joust, along with Molleindustria’s Arcade Bike Polo and many others!

We’re also very excited to announce that PMPY will be a part of Seattle’s arts and culture festival, Bumbershoot. The festival’s videogame exhibit Bumbercade, curated by Sam Machkovech, aims to “celebrate multiple styles of new-wave gaming to enlighten and enthrall the medium’s uninitiated”. PMPY will be featured alongside the phenomenal Papers, Please and Gone Home among others.
