What is the Midwest Classic?

 

On June 30, 2001, the GOAT Store, LLC and Marty Goldberg teamed together to bring Atari Jaguar Festival to Milwaukee, and it was considered by many to be the best Jaguar Festival ever. This year, the GOAT Store, LLC and Marty Goldberg are getting back together to bring gamers the biggest classic gaming show of its type in the Midwest -- the Midwest Classic.

 

The Midwest Classic promises to offer visitors an incredible amount of things to see and do. From pinball, to video games, to classic computers, the Midwest Classic is shaping up to be a real classic event!

 

Pinball

 

Pinball was born in the Midwest, so it is only appropriate that the event will feature the classic ball and flipper game. The GOAT Store, LLC will be bringing a pinball machine to the event, and will be offering the chance to see how a pinball works from the inside!

 

The Video Games

 

One of the features to many classic gaming events is the ability to see, and play with, many rare systems and items, and the Midwest Classic will be no exception. Marty Goldberg's Classic Gaming Museum will be vastly expanded this year featuring everything from PONG to the machines currently on the market.

 

"At Atari Jaguar Festival 2001, Marty Goldberg's gaming collection proved to be one of the biggest attractions," stated Gary Heil of the GOAT Store, LLC. "This year, the Classic Gaming Museum will be larger and more comprehensive. We can't wait!"

 

The Classic Gaming Museum will feature nearly every video game system ever released in the United States. The Midwest Classic will also feature many video game related tournaments which attendees will be encouraged to participate in during the day for lots of systems like the Atari 2600, Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis and more!

 

The Computers

 

As classic computer collectors know, sometimes there is nothing better than an old computer. The Midwest Classic will be featuring many classic computers from Atari, Commodore, Apple, Tandy and more!

 

Revisit the way personal computers began. Visitors are encouraged to see if they can remember what their favorite computer games were... and why attendees who don't still have their old computers need to get them back!

 

And More!

 

The GOAT Store, LLC and Marty Goldberg promise that there will be a lot more surprises in store for visitors to the Midwest Classic! Announcements about exclusive Midwest Classic editions of some homebrew games, special tournament prizes, and more will be coming in the next few weeks!

 

"The Midwest Classic is going to be a great event for anybody who wants to learn a little bit about both video gaming and computer gaming history, compete against new friends, trade games or just enjoy the day playing great games," stated Dan Loosen of the GOAT Store, LLC. "The Midwest Classic is going to be a true classic."
