I'm going. Was surprised not to see a thread posted about this earlier, frankly. Too bad it's been a couple of years since AtariAge has had a presence there, and it's gotten expensive.. plus less and less of the earlier systems/games, but that's happening with all of these conventions.

 

I'm also going to the Let's Play Expo in Irving on Sunday... not pleased that they scheduled them on the same weekend!

I'll be there !!! Had my Classic Game Fest wristbands for quite awhile now. :)

 

Last year it was HUGE. Curious to see how it continues to evolve now that it takes up ALL of Palmer Events Center.

 

Crazy. I remember just a few years back it was a small gathering in the Game Over store on Anderson Lane, then it spilled out into the parking lot, and then another year they expanded it into a vacant slot next door in the same shopping strip... and now IT IS THIS!

Everything starts somewhere. Still pretty amazing.

 

I do miss the old Joust and Warlords head-to-head competitions projected up on giant blow-up screens in the parking lot though! ha !

 

I've also missed Atari Age the last couple years. Any chance we will see AA on-site this weekend? fingers crossed.

Hey, check it out... just found this on youtube... Classic Game Fest 2010... when it was still at the Anderson Lane store location.

 

This was the Warlords competition. Yeah, I did alright (in blue/white striped shirt) but got knocked out during semi final.

 

Watching this video, i see my kid ( who was 6 at the time ) was playing on a Macintosh in the background while I was "competing". I guess I wasn't being a very good parent at that moment. :)
