Miss the golden age of arcade gaming? SACC 2026 has brought the classics back!

Remember the thrill of chasing colourful ghosts in Pac-Man or trying to beat your highest score at the arcade?

The Sharjah Animation & Comics Conference (SACC), currently underway at Aljada, is bringing that experience back through its retro arcade corner, where colourful machines, familiar characters and unmistakable game sounds are transporting visitors to the golden age of gaming.

For older visitors, it is a chance to revisit childhood memories. For younger audiences, it offers a hands-on introduction to the games that entertained generations long before smartphones, online gaming and app stores changed the way people played.
