Wow that was fun!!
I can't say enough about what a great time I had at my first CGE. A lot of that stuff that was on display was simply too cool, I was in nerd nirvana and it was _sweeeet_.
Bought too much stuff but that's okay, I'm enjoying the fruits of that continuously now. The "secret" new game for the 2600 is really, really addictive, interesting and good. I thought it might've been a gimmick that simply wore off, but I'm really loving it to pieces. K.O. Cruiser is an absolute blast, too.
Anyone know who was in charge of those awesome arcade machines that were set up? I could gush and gush about what a great selection was there. I thought it was particularly nice to have a crack at Front Line and Gorf, since the emulated versions of those just don't feel the same without the original controllers and cabinets. Nice to see a Mouse Trap and Road Runner, too! A shame that Space Duel wasn't working, but thems the breaks.
Great show! Thanks to everyone who helped set up, vended, and attended!
