Midwest Gaming Classic Roundup

Loads of cool pics. It's great seeing all those old consoles which I have only heard of by name. I am largely a fan of Sega and Nintendo consoles, and I could see most of their main ones were present :) Regards, Andrew B aliensrcooluk at yahoo.co.uk --- On Wed, 25/3/09, Martin Goldberg <wgungfu at gmail.com> wrote: From: Martin Goldberg <wgungfu at gmail.com> Subject: Midwest Gaming Classic Roundup To: cctech at classiccmp.org Date: Wednesday, 25 March, 2009, 1:30 AM Just a followup to my announcement post, the MGC came and went and was a huge success. 22,000 sq ft packed to the rim of computing, console, video arcade and pinball, so much so we're moving to a new located next year that'll give us around 30,000 sq ft.

Once again, I'm extending the offer for collectors from here to take part and show of their equipment. I'd also be happy to host the VCF Midwest there next year as well, we have the space, and the people (I'm estimating attendance at about 4,000 unofficially for this year's show). And I love to promote our hobby any way I can. Marty
