Hey Neuronic. My favorite atari games are Kaboom and Spider Droid. Both are fairly cheap. @16-bit I think we will be doing something in the spring.

Well I guess I should chime in here. First off let me say all shows have there hitches and this was my first show and had a better turn out than most first shows I have seen. I think me and my team did a damn good job with this event and I am very proud of my team. If we had more people I would have been 100% thrilled with the event. Now I just need to talk to the convention center get them listed on other map sites besides google and in GPS's along with some more advertising and I think the next show will be great. Now to address some issues people had. 1. loudspeaker volume and rapidness of announcements. At every TMG event Chuck and I ever did all we heard was I cant hear you, The PA isnt loud enough etc etc. So this year I made sure we had a good PA system and now its to loud. So we need a happy medium. I think next year the announcement booth will be in the free play area. I think Chickybaby was correct when saying we were doing to much hence why we had announcements every 5 mins. I will work on fixing it for the next show. 2. No classic tournaments. Well there was a Kaboom high score tournament that ran all day but one of the main points of the day was to celebrate the dreamcasts birthday so half our tournaments were focused on that system. In the future like TMG events in the past we will try and have tournaments on one of each major system from the past (Atari, NES, Genesis, SNES, and maybe some Jaguar or 3do or Vectrex as thats one of my personal favorite systems. 3. The price of the Shield Shifter cartridge is in no way Game Core's say just like at TMG last time we had no say in how many copies of Prehistoric Times actually made it to the show. I think 23.00 for a new game is fair and I personally think Shield Shifter was a great game. All that being said I want to thank those of you who came for coming and especially thank Chickybaby and Atarinut for being vendors at Game Core. If anyone has any ideas for Game Core to make it better or would like to help out with the next event we are all ears. This is a fan event and I want to keep it going. We are looking at Spring of next year for our next event and are going to take some of your ideas into account and try and lower prices along with a 5 or 6 and under free (good idea it just didnt cross our mind). Like I said if you wanna contact me my email is paul@gamecorecon.com. Without your support we cant grow into what the greatest show I have ever been to (PC5) was.
