Last Thursday, KONAMI celebrated the anniversary of one of its biggest licences, ISS/PES. The famous saga of football games is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year with the latest instalment, PES 2016. More than 500 people gathered at the Club Haussmann in Paris to enjoy an evening of gaming. For the occasion, the MO5.COM association was in charge of retrogaming! Yes, we gave the guests present the opportunity to replay all the episodes in the series, from the first in 1995!
A lot of people turned up with smiles on their faces to see the huge evolution from Jikkyou J-League Winning Eleven on PlayStation (Winning Eleven is the Japanese name for the licence) to the latest PES 2016 on PlayStation 4, via ISS Pro 98, ISS Pro Evolution 2 and the legendary PES 5 and PES 6 on PlayStation 2.

In addition to this, we contributed to the development of the Year 95 room by providing a modem and a vintage computer. Visitors could immortalise this moment by taking a photograph.
We'd like to thank all the friends and acquaintances who stopped by the historic site to reminisce. We'd also like to thank all the members of the association who had been there since the morning to set up everything and make sure the evening was fun. Our final thanks go to the entire KONAMI France team, especially Stéphanie and Pierre.
Long live PES!
