There will be a few surprise guests at CGE this year, but I'll let you in on one of them.
If you know this song, then you know the game, then you know the man.

As they confirm with us, I will be announcing each LEGEND who will appear at Classic Gaming Expo on August 9th and 10th. You'll be able to see the summary of these "alumni" guests at the Classic Gaming Expo site (http://www.cgexpo.com).
You can view details on all of the confirmed legends who will be speaking, meeting, greeting, and signing autographs at this year's Classic Gaming Expo , but in this forum I'm going to provide some details about them. Take note of games and items that you might want to bring along for signatures!
Paul Norman
Paul Norman's feel for classic video game music probably stems from his experience as a guitarist and composer for several bands during the 1970's and 80's. He toured with such acts as Steppenwolf, Chicago, Taj Mahal, and many others!
What the gaming community know him best for is his work at Cosmi from 1982 through 1989. His hits included Forbidden Forest, Aztec Challenge, Caverns of Khaftka, Super Huey Helicopter, Beyond the Forbidden Forest, Huey II, Def Con 5, Navy Seal, and The President Is Missing. Anyone who owned a computer in the 80's knows at least ONE of these games very well.
Mr. Norman has remained involved in the industry since. His diverse projects include development in the early years of CD-ROM game market, releasing the mystery-adventure Murder Makes Strange Deadfellows. He was also a producer/designer on the Sega Genesis game Home Alone II: Lost In New York, heading up that design group. In 1998 he produced and edited the video and audio content for Discovery Channel's CD-ROM PC and 3DO title Carrier: Fortress At Sea.
Today, you can find Mr. Norman building games for the Web (www.digittarius.com/Azteca/) and recording music again. Meet him at Classic Gaming Expo and catch up with this versatile personality.
