Why are there numbers next to Jacksonville? Is this a fantasy game?

GB’s Bottle Shop invites old-school sports game fans to join them for a tournament using an antique Nintendo 64 and a copy of NFL Blitz. Oskar Blues will be on hand with a special draft selection along with some old favorites. If you need to warm up your thumbs – or if you get knocked out of the tourney early – hang at the losers’ table and revisit another pixelated gridiron classic: Tecmo Bowl.

6:30 p.m. Wednesday; GB’s Bottle Shop, 531 Virginia Drive; free; gbbottleshop.com
