Retro Gaming LAN Party at "Die Diskette"

Very popular in the late ’90s and throughout the 2000s: the LAN party!

Back then, hardly anyone had permanent, high-speed internet access, so playing video games together was only possible if you hauled your home PC—along with its bulky CRT monitor—to a party basement, youth centers, or event halls, where you could then connect it directly to the other participants’ computers via a local area network (LAN). In virtual worlds, people raced, shot, strategized, commanded armies, or put their skills to the test—either together or against each other. And there was always someone reinstalling Windows 98 while cursing under their breath.

In the vintage computer exhibition “Die Diskette,” this phenomenon comes back to life—except that the computers are already set up and you can start playing right away. On 12 computers, you can play a variety of games from the late ’90s to the mid-2000s, either cooperatively or competitively.

Sunday, November 15, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Admission is free.

Please don’t bring your own computer—everything is already set up. :)

Children and teens are especially welcome! However, minors must be accompanied by an adult starting at 4:00 p.m., as games rated for ages 16 or 18 will be available starting at that time.

Unfortunately, access to the rooms is not wheelchair-accessible due to a staircase at the entrance; see https://diskette.ch/besuchen.html#a11y. If this poses a problem for you, please contact us so we can find a solution.
