StanJr Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Aimee and I are a confirm for both days of the show. Save some goodies for us, we are bringing (for the first time) a considerable amount to blow on goodies!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpfalcon2003 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Wish I could be there. Too Far away from New Orleans though. Wish New Orleans could be a location spot. I'd definitely be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph3 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I'll be there with Jason (Trade-N-Games) helping him out in his booth. We should be there at about 5:00 or so Friday evening! See you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattG/Snyper2099 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 Just hours left to go until the big bang! I will be arriving around 2pm hauling arcades as well as two massive truckloads of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Can't wait. We are so excited, our first convention in a couple of years. This will be FUN! We should all get together somewhere and plan a late night snackage post show Friday and/or Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG/Snyper2099 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 A bunch of us were going to go to Dave and Busters Friday night for a beer. It's only a few minutes away. Stan, if you want to go, there will be talk of it Friday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Don't forget to stop at any local lottery seller to pick up one of the most recent scratch'n'wins to come to Ohio: Pac-Man Mania. For only $3 you could win cash (up to $30,000) or a Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga cocktail arcade game. Losing tickets are still eligible to be entered for second chance drawings, giving you another chance at a cocktail game or various Pac-Man merchandise prize packs: https://www.secondchancebonuszone.com/pacman/oh/prizes.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 MAn that Pac-Man Polo Shirt would be perfect for work! MAybe I'll be able to find it for sale somewhere as I won't be able to enter the draw as I live in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Monkey Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 CinciClassic is looking awesome. More vendors than ever and more variety of games than ever. Amazing stuff for sale including lots of classics and tons of imports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCold Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hope you guys had fun! I was going to drive down there, but I ended up being scheduled for work. I'm normally off weekends, but of course they work me the weekend of cinciclassic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 It was great to see a few of you folks after so long, Stan and Aimee (although I somehow forgot to say hi to Aimee again...I blame Stan's eyes...so dreamy), Bigplayer (congrats on the Vectrex win, hope it works out well for you), CHrisbid and all the others I'm too tired to mention. I hope it won't be another 3 and a half years, because I'm already getting a stack of stuff together...possibly to set up shop there next time.

Atari Dogs Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I hope it won't be another 3 and a half years, because I'm already getting a stack of stuff together...possibly to set up shop there next time. I agree. Hopefully, there will be another CinciClassic next year, and I will have more money to spend. I was amazed how many dealers showed up. I did notice that there were not many homebrew games, homebrew supplies, 5200 joystick repair kits, or hacks for sale. Guess I will have to order from AA.

StanJr Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 The show was great! Wonderful! A very sizable showing, especially considering the amount of time that has passed since the last CinciClassic. ALL of the vendors were top notch. Very very fun. It was a hoot seeing all the old crew, MattG, Bill Augustine, Jason from TradeN'Games (where I hear prices were being slashed), Mike the lush (where you can trade beer for games!), Chuck (who fed my disturbing obsession with sissy SEGA Genesis games only to fed his every growing hoard of children ), and every one else. It was great to hang with Scooter, Big Player, Sniderman, and make some new friends as well! I managed to "win" two high score tourneys at the GameBot table. (Gamebot, for those of you living in a cave, is an east coast exclusive classic video game TV show). Those guys were great, and they turned out to be total fanboys of Aimee's artwork. But the big BIG coup, is that I managed to haul off my biggest and best score from a convention yet. (this was the show to find the good deals and the great games kids, trust me) My take: 2600 Q*berts Qubes Mr. Do's Castle Frogger II (that takes care of my PB collection) Stargunner Demolition Herby Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em Sir Lancelot Shuttle Orbiter (w/ manual) Pengo Deadly Duck Fast Eddie Beany Bopper Sorcerer Star Fox Fire Fly Spitfire Attack Lost Luggage Challenge of Nexar Radar Lock Racquetball Moonsweeper I Want My Mommy Gopher Alpha Beam w/ Ernie Cookie Monster Munch Sssnake (completing my Data Age collection) Sorcerer's Apprentice Crypts of Chaos Spikes Peak/Ghost Manor Manuals Track n' Field Controller (but missed the game by about 1 hour! My fault) 2x Epyx controllers NES: Pyramid Dragon's Lair Wayne's World Baseball Stars Lolo 2 River City Ransom TMNT Tournament Fighter Mappyland SNES: Dracula X ChronoTrigger FF II Secret of Mana Super 3D Noah's Ark Super Gameboy SEGA Genesis: Beauty and the Beast Belle's Quest (I told you they were sissy) Beauty and the Beast Roar of the Beast Ariel, the Little Mermaid Samuari Showdown Lemmings 2 Spider-man Quite a diggity dog dank haul, eh kiddies! And I spent less than you might imagine. A wonderful show. Next year, and there had better be a next year, death threats will ensue, I'll be there with a booth and Aimee will have loads of artwork for you rabid fans to snatch up! Great show.

Big Player Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 CinciClassic has returned and it was bigger than ever. It was a blast. Got to see and spend time with a lot of faces from the 2002 show: Stan Jr, Aimee, Taylor.com, Scooterb23, MattG, Bill Augustine, Jason from Trade-N-Games, the various vendors named Mike (at least 3 or 4, I believe), the Bitsmack guys, Chuck and anyone else that I missed. Plenty of new faces too such as taylorcomm. My haul: Atari 2600 Off The Wall Sentinel (also picked up the light gun from Trade-N-Games) Xenophobe (NTSC) Subterranea Tapper Demolition Herby Intellivision Buzz Bomers Shark! Shark! Microsurgeon Atari 5200 Pengo H.E.R.O Space Shuttle Miner 2049er 5200 Multi-Cart (I wish I had picked this up first, because now I have basically every game for the 5200.) Hardware Atari 400 with 4 common carts Vectrex (No games for it but I got it at the auction at the end of the show. Need to look into getting the Multi-Cart for this.)

Scooterb23 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 For the record, here was my take (I have an illness when it comes to shows, I always spend a ton of money). Odyssey: Odyssey 1 system (mostly complete) RCA Studio II: Blackjack Atari 2600: 3 copies of Combat were given to me throughout the show Snoopy and the Red Baron a 6 cart game switcher thingy C64: World Class Leader Board + Great Courses of the World Vol. 2 & 3 Indoor Sports Radar Rat Race Kickman Vectrex: System Star Wars Vec Sports Boxing I, Cyborg Space Hawk w/ overlay Protector / YASI Game Boy: Aladdin Batman Aliens vs. Predator PS1: Irritating Stick Tall Infinity Spider MLB Pennant Race Nightmare Creatures Junior League Dodgeball PS2: Return to Castle Wolfenstein Gun I-Ninja XBox: Top Spin Books: Confessions of the Game Doctor Retro Gaming Hacks Gaming Hacks 3 CDs of Arcade Ambience and a t-shirt Whew, I think that's it...I have a lot of gaming goodness ahead of me!! Probably cost less than you would imagine as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glitch Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Ah-ha, you were the one who bought the Protector/YASI Again, it's only because I didn't see it first Had a great time. It was a lot of fun putting faces to the names. Did anyone get a picture from the balcony? I went up there to eat lunch and thought that it would be a great pic but got busy again and didn't get up there to take my pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Yeah, I got the Protector / YASI And I had three people offer me $50 for it within just a few minutes of my purchase...which surprised me because I didn't even get it until close to 11 AM, over 2 hours for others to pick it up (for $20 even). But I held firm, I wanted to play it (and oh yeah, it's goooooood) My new Vectrx has a happy home next to my computer monitor here on my desk. I'm a proud papa, the Vectrex has been my Holy Grail for quite a long time. I know there were pics taken from the balcony, hopefully the will show up on the Cinciclassic site sooner or later.

Trade-N-Games Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I thought it was a great show! I sold alot of stuff and I bought alot of great stuff. It was good to see everyone at the show. I am no good at names but I do remember a few. Glitch had some great stuff. And now my prices slashed! StanJr, Big Player. It was good to see All the other dealers also. This was the show to attend if you were looking for hard to find items there was more at this show than I have ever seen and alot of great prices. I scored some great stuff at the show. I think the best score for me was a new sealed Gameline Master Module. The guy had 3 of them in a shipping box that said master box and inside was a pack of some dealer info. As he placed it on the table another dealer said he wanted them but I got one and he took the rest of the box but I was happy. I also got a sealed 2600 Sentinel and double Dragon for 7800. And I finished my Sega CD collection with Keio Flying squadrun. I got a few more NES boxes I needed and games. On Sunday me and my friend Ralph went to about 4-5 flea markes in INDY and a bunch of Video game stores and we got alot of great stuff. It was a fun time and can't wait to the next show to see everyone again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Trade N' Games is tops when it comes to buying and selling classic games. Jason is a first class guy (who has been known to slash prices on occasion) who enhanced our enjoyment of the show tremendously. I highly recommend that anyone looking to get hard to find games at good prices head over to the Trade N' Games website or store.
