Film Theatre at Central Library

Enjoy playing and watching video games on the big theatre screen with your friends!

Drop in and play for a bit or sit back and watch this deeply complex dungeon crawler!

Adventurer are you ready to descend into the dungeon to find the Amulet of Yendor? Will you be the one to vanquish the Wizard of Yendor and ascend to the heavens?

The 1987 roguelike text-based game NetHack offers players a unique take on the role-playing genre especially in 2019. Using the rules of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, NetHack sets you loose in a randomly generated dungeon in search of a pointless and cleche McGuffin, The Amulet of Yendor. With a control scheme to rival Mavis Beacon and a turn-based world, NetHack gives you little in your quest to descend past the goblin armies, lichens, and angry shopkeeps that fill the depths. You’ll die, a lot. With every run comes a bit more knowledge about the dungeon and the interface. With revelations such as “Wait I can open the chest?!” and “Why can’t I go down the tunnel if my cat is in the way?” NetHack is truly a unique gaming experience. With it currently available on PC, iOS, and Android (for free) there is only one question left to ask:

You see here a dwarven corpse. Eat it? [y/n]

Each monthly session will feature a different game experience such as a tournaments, communal gaming, demonstrations of unique gaming platforms, and much more!

About the branch

The RPL Film Theatre screens the best of world cinema – up to 15 films a month. The Film Theatre has “something for everyone” and is the only cinema in the city to consistently present critically-acclaimed contemporary and alternative cinema: Canadian, foreign and independent films and documentaries.

For more than 50 years, Regina Public Library (RPL) has played a pivotal role in the cultural life of the city of Regina and surrounding areas. In the mid-60s, interest in a permanent venue for film enthusiasts grew into a program at the Library – a co-operative effort between the local Film Council and the National Film Board of Canada. A landmark year for the cultural, multi-cultural and surrounding business communities was 1975, the year the RPL Film Theatre was officially launched.
