A brave soul tries his feets at Feet of Fury ( Sadly the Dance Pads were rated at 225 lbs. so I had to pass :( ).

The Ajax Arcade unit raffled off at the end of the show. I heard it was won by a father and son in matching Hawaiian shirts….so that’s how the next generation gets the bug!

Holy crap! An IMSAI 8080 in the flesh? Color me impressed with whoever's kept that poor old thing knocking around!

Damn that looked like a neat show. I would have loved to try Feet of Fury... but alas I'm just over that 225 limit myself *cough*.

Thanks for the pictures, Rich! I've been trying to figure the size of this event, this clears things up quite a bit. Looks like fun!

From what I heard the IMSAI wasn't functional but I think that one of the museum caretakers was going to be repairing it.
