X900BattleGrape Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Have a bunch of photo's, will try to post in coming day(s). Great event, to briefly sum up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) "Friggin' awesome" is what I'd categorize it as. Myself and a couple of others grabbed drinks with Dan Kramer after the event. And there were plenty of other Atari* alumni present as well, such as Jerry Jessop. *Atari [Consumer] Inc. and Atari Coin/Games/Tengen/Midway alumni. I don't think anyone from Tramiel's Atari Corp identified themselves as such which kinda is a shame since the Lynx, Jaguar, XEGS, and STs were all represented there as well.

X900BattleGrape Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Damnit! I wish I knew any of you guys, I'd have loved to get some drinks with you. Sadly I'm pretty introverted, so don't bother chatting anyone up really. Drat. Still, what a great time it was. Pictures soonish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend mentioned he saw someone with a Lytro there taking pics as well. And that's also not counting the guy wearing Google Glass there.

Nope, though wish I had a DSLR since my gf (who took the pictures) is a fine arts graduate and great photographer; sadly it was cell phone pics only I had the OUYA t-shirt on. Here's a couple of pics for now, more to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz73 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 You got a good profile shot of my son playing the Jaguar, directly behind Dan Kramer's right shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 OK, I'm either having a blonde moment or not enough sleep.. what the heck is that last picture of? Obviously some frankenboard of 80s and modern vintage, but I'm stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
