+Lathe26 Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Here's photos from VRGE 2018. It was fun and, compared to SRGE 2018, was larger in number of attendees and game/console vendors but a little smaller in number of art vendors*. As is typical, there was only a small amount of Intellivision games there (no consoles, unlike SRGE) but many of them were CIB French-Canadian variants. * at least by my own lousy estimates The line of preregistered attendees ~10 minutes before doors opened was 2/3 of a block long Photo of part the vendor floor. It fades out to white in the background because of the bright sunlight through the wall of floor-to-ceiling windows Complete in box ADAM computer. This box is HUGE! Vendor verified it works (he knows many were shipped as defective from the factory) and said it is not yellowed at all. Check out the other boxes for scale. VTech Socrates Educational Video System. I've never seen one in person, let alone CIB. This console may or may not have had some impact on a piece of Intellivision history... Diablo for PlayStation. I don't know if the price reasonable, but I got a kick out of it being sold for $666 Canadian. Poster for Dungeon Construction Co. comic that I got a kick out of (check it out at http://dungeoncomic.com/) Chiptunes music discussion panel was interesting and educational... ... though the room was modest and a bald-headed freak photobombed a picture of the audience. Breakfast of champions (brunch really). Drinking coffee in metric and eating a doughnut filled with strawberry and blueberry (if I recall correctly). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Separately, here are two more photos that show 80% of all the vendors. These are high-res to show all the details (click to view). A few of the vendors are out-of-shot to the left and right and a few were scattered on upper floors near the conference rooms and gaming tournament rooms. There are two of photos since the different brightness levels due to the bright sunlight limited clarity to the left vs right halves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was awesome seeing you there Lathe26. I didn't end up picking up too much but a handful of quality stuff. There was a guy selling Panzer Dragoon Mini for the Sega Game Gear but he wanted $200 which is too rich for my blood. Did I walk away from a good deal? Anyway here's my video if folks want to watch.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvKC943i65w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
