DECATUR, Ill. (WCIA) — The Decatur Public Library is welcoming people ages 16+ for a video game event including challenges across many different consoles this weekend.

On Saturday, the library is hosting the Clash of Generations Video Gaming Challenge Event. This event is a part of the library’s year-long 150th anniversary celebration, as they are partnering with Clash of Generations creator Brenden Kuzel to offer a chance to try out his video gaming contest set across multiple consoles and games throughout digital gaming history.

Participants aged 16 and up can play to complete challenges across different video game systems. From some of the first gaming systems like Atari, to the latest like PlayStation and Xbox, registered participants will be able to play set challenges at stations and learn more about the history, technology development and how a typical Clash of Generations Contest operates.

Even though this event will not end with a winner, participants will be able to experience and try-out challenges. A full list of the consoles, games and to register, click here.

Participants can either register for the morning (9 a.m.-1 p.m.) or the afternoon (1:30-5 p.m.) session. While the playing participation is limited, the library is inviting anyone interested to stop in and cheer on the players taking on the video game challenges.

For additional information on the 150th anniversary celebration or to register for other events, visit decaturlibrary.org or follow the library on social media.
