The Retro Roadshow

Maker Faire Bay Area 2023

October 13th-22nd

We are The Retro Roadshow, an interactive hands-on museum of vintage computers and video games. Our mission is to help people understand how the technology of yesteryear lead to the world we live in now, by letting visitors engage with the entertaining and creative aspects of vintage technology.

For the 2023 Maker Faire, we will be presenting a hands-on interactive exhibit in which visitors learn about the history of video games by tracking the evolution of Nintendo’s Mario character. Attendees will experience Mario’s origins in the classic game “Donkey Kong” on Atari consoles, through his appearances in games for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo 64 and Nintendo GameCube. Visitors to our exhibit will have fun while learning!
