First edition, in 2006, was a success. Made in few weeks with the support of Monza's Major, we peaked 1500 visitors.

What's going to happen this year?

3 days filled with gaming goodness!
Official Twin Galaxies records recording (thanks to Valter Prette), homebrew presentations, hardcore museum (from protos to artworks, from the obscurest to the commonest), free play areas with many consoles and arcades, meetings with programmers and journalists, videos with original '80s and '90s ads, merchandising, tournaments with big prizes (from 360 to retro stuff)....

In 2006 we had 6 to 8 free play areas. You could try from the Virtual Boy to the Pc-Engine LT (with supervision!). We had about 100 systems and many many more games. This year we will rock: we have more than twice the space! We've already been featured on the main vg mags and in various other media for this edition.

We will be open from 23 to 25 of May (next week!) in Monza, Urban Center.
We came to the CGE2K8 from Italy. Who is coming to Italy to our expo? :D

I will post pics and videos. But I'm sure you'll find many more articles later on: it's something unique for our country, believe me!

Sure! But to find stores you must go in big towns.

The VGH was so successful that we have been featured by national news, both TV and paper!
I'll post some pics and videos soon
