Anybody go to the CCAG in Cleveland this last weekend? I was there part of the day Saturday and it was packed. Lots of games, systems, etc. to look at and plenty of stuff to do. Tried to get to the arcade but all the games I wanted to play were being used. Bought 4 NES games (Metroid, Castlevania II, Spy Hunter, Road Blasters), 1 CD-I game (Voyeur), 2 2600 games (Boxed Bump n' Jump, Frogs and Flies), 1 Genesis game (Rocket Knight Adventures) and 1 Xbox 360 game (Magna Carta). Was looking for other CD-I games and a regular CD-I controller but the game was the only thing I found. Great convention, wish they could do another like they did last time in October. Guess I'll just have to wait until 2012 for the next show. Good show all in all.

Sorry I didn't take pictures of the show but I'm sure ccagshow.com will have pics soon. I know they were taking pics and usually put them up after the shows over. I just looked there and they don't have them up yet but give them time, the show was just on Saturday. I'll put up the pics of the games I got tonight.

Whoops! I got involved in a project with my nephew last night and didn't get pics taken. Will do so tonight.

I wish I would have been on top of things enough that I would have known about it. I've been looking for a local show for a while now and this one would have only been 2 1/2 hours away. I would have made the trip. Didn't notice anyone talking about the show until Sunday night.

Check out the website Bill and be ready for the one next year. It's really a good show and about the only one close enough for me, it's about an hour drive from Y-town and since I used to live in Cleveland I'm familiar with the area. Plus you can go to the Great Northern Mall which is close by as well as The Exchange, a video, music, DVD store that has just about everything, and plenty of other places to check out. Hope you can get to the next one.

Okay here's the pic of what I got at CCAG 2011. Oh yeah and Rocket Knight Adventures isn't in there because my nephew borrowed it for his Genesis. Heh both of us are retro gamers.

Will do. I haven't been to a show since one of the gaming expos in Vegas probably 8-9 years ago. Does anyone know if there is any sort of show in Cincy this year?

Hey Bill,
Here's one in Columbus, http://corgs-con.webs.com/, and just found out about this one in Cincy, http://arcadelegacy....c-gaming-expo/. Check out both websites.

Thanks for the heads up! As it turns out, I was already planning to be in Columbus on the day of their show. I'll be making plans to stop in and see what kind of fun stuff I can pick up.
