Game Over

Game Over is Portsmouth's only video game cafe, offering consoles & games from all decades! If you want to play it, chances are they've got it.

About this project.

This was one of my favourite websites to work on, because I got to geek out on some retro video game themes. Game Over itself is a video game cafe in Portsmouth that offers pretty much any game you can imagine.

The website essentially only needed to be a booking system, so I teamed up with a backend developer Chris, who built the system in Python. I designed the booking system with the styles of an old 8bit video game – and you can even play space invaders at the end! This site was launched in 2016.
