About This Event
Raiders of the Lost Arcade is a gaming series of events that welcome all students. It is part of our Making Space series. We will be playing a curated selection of games for platforms including PC, VR, and Nintendo Switch, which explore different ways that video games can illustrate a variety of narratives, aspirations, and life experiences. Our focus for this event will be on games that explore queer and LGBTQ+ friendly storylines and characters, while offering a compelling and immersive gameplay experience. We will draw on the narratives of these games to talk about representation, including resisting character tropes and stereotypes about the gaming community.
Participants will get the chance to experience each of the games offered and will regroup at the end to share their experiences.
