Classic Gaming Expo 2010 Photo Archive
Thanks For a Great Year! It came and went so fast, we can't believe it's
over! The 2010 was a rousing success with our best attendance since
2003 and by far the best "buzz" ever. Exhibitors brought boatloads
of nicely-priced classic goodies including surprise CGE new release
exclusives, the museum was packed with thousands of items, the live
entertainment was fresh and varied, and the events were as much fun
to watch as they were to compete in. WE CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER! Time to start planning for CGE 2K11 where we hope to
see you again. In the meantime, here's a few links summarizing
the 2010 show in case you had something better to do that weekend. Thanks to everyone who attended, you're living proof
that Classic Gaming will never die. See you in 2011!
AtariAge will have a large booth jam-packed with retro-gaming goodness!
You'll find a wide variety of systems to play, games to trade and buy,
tournaments to participate in, gaming celebrities, and tons of
like-minded gamers to discuss your favorite hobby with! Among the retro
goodness you'll have first crack at the previously unreleased Turbo for
Atari 2600 as well as brand new homebrew titles Duck Attack!, K.O.
Cruiser (also 2600), and Failsafe (Atari 7800). They've also announced a
surprise homebrew release at the show and will only have a limited
number of copies available. Visit the
AtariAge website for all of the details!
Classic Gaming Expo re-invented the classic game show Jeopardy! in
2001 with its unique videogame-themed categories, Atari paddle
response buzzers and brain-twisting trivia. In 2010 the show returns,
and in addition there will be a new re-invention: Classic Gaming Family
Feud! Based on the long-running television show, expect five-on-five
team competition based on "100 customers surveyed" at the Digital Press
game store in NJ! Details for sign-up and participation of the game
shows will be available at the RetroRumble tournament area on the first
day of the show.
Not only will you spend the weekend playing and reminiscing with the games from days past, but you'll have the opportunity to take home brand new titles for your favorite vintage systems as well. The first batch of games being launched at Classic Gaming Expo have been announced on our Merchandise page. A space shooter on the ColecoVision, an action/puzzler on the Vectrex, and a motocross game on the GBA kick off this year's new releases. More details and more games to follow in the days ahead! CGE 2010 Alumni Guest List Updated One of the unique features of Classic Gaming Expo is its unique relationship with video and computer gaming's "alumni". Game designers, dreamers, innovators... they have shaped the industry and brought so many of the wonderful memories celebrated by everyone who sets foot on the show floor. We've updated the special guests page for this years' event, though the list is far from complete. As we roll closer to showtime the list will grow and specific keynotes and panels will be detailed. Please join us in welcoming videogaming's "alumni" to CGE 2010. Live Music Line-up Announced
The musical mayhem doesn't end there, either. You will also be treated to game rock band Decendants of Erdrick. Decendants of Erdrick are an exciting 5-piece classic game music cover band out of Austin TX. They will be rocking the house both days at the 2010 event! To get more information about bands, their tour dates, YouTube videos, free mp3 samples etc., check out the links highlighted above. The Disko Apocalypse tour is raising money to bring their 8-bit music to other parts of the country as well. If you would like to help make this possible they have great gifts/perks (mp3's, CDs, t-shirts, cell phones) to offer in exchange for your generosity. Please visit their Kickstarter page to make a donation! Call to Arms: Free Staff Shirts! As we mobilize the logistics of the show we're reminded that there is a community of gamers who enjoy taking part in the "behind the scenes" aspects of Classic Gaming Expo. There can NEVER be enough hands on deck especially the day before the show. If you're going to be in the vicinity of CGE between Friday, July 28th and Monday, August 2nd and would like to be part of the set-up, weekend, or breakdown team, we're looking for you! There is a wide variety of assignments, from fastening skirts on booth tables, hanging signs and assisting exhibitors to watching over the tournament and "free play" areas during the show. Let us know when you're available and we'll get you assigned to a team and discuss your part! All approved volunteers will get a special CGE Staff shirt to wear during the show. Contact us at info@cgexpo.com. We've had attendees dress up as their favorite videogame characters before, but we've never done anything to reward our cosplaying guests. This years it's going to be different. For starters, come dressed up as any videogame character and get free admission at the door (our registration desk attendants will determine if you're truly "in costume" or not, so don't come half-heartedly). In addition, we'll have an event late in the day on Saturday to determine a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prize winner, while the grand prize will go to the person with the best "Retro-themed" costume. Be creative! Let The Games Begin... The media has been informed. Classic Gaming Expo season has officially begun!
