Get ready to press start on a nostalgic journey through the golden age of arcade games!

Just days before Comicopolis 2025, we’re teaming up with Lockport’s biggest comic and fandom celebration to bring you a special pre-event featuring Brian F. Colin, legendary video game designer behind Rampage, Xenophobe, Arch Rivals, Pigskin, and more.

With over 90 games to his name and a spot in the International Video Game Hall of Fame, Colin will share insider stories, behind-the-scenes artwork, and outrageous tales from the wild early days of arcade development—including his adventures on the set of the Rampage movie starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Whether you’re a lifelong gamer, a comic fan, or just love a good story, yo u won’t want to miss this one-of-a-kind event celebrating creativity, retro tech, and fandom in all forms.

Just like Comicopolis, this event is free and open to the public. Registration is recommended.

When: Thursday, July 17, 2025, 7pm – 8pm

Where: Gaylord Building Historic Site

Part of our Think & Drink series

Let the countdown to Comicopolis begin!
