Time to finally show what I manage to grab this year...
As you all know, I don't usually get a change to even look around the show that I host. It was pretty much the same for me this year. So what I managed to get was either before the show really started, or as were tearing down.
First are the carts..

The Go Fish! and Astro Invader games were the only homebrews I picked up so far for this year. I grabbed them as AtariAge was already packing up their van!
As for the others, well the Blaster was one of 2 I had made for the show this year. One was given away with a 5200 setup and the other I had made for me. I also had my 5200 Blaster in my 5200 at the show and running most of the time.
The Crazy Climber was part of a payment to me for fixing up a large box full of 5200 controllers, and ColecoVision controllers. Guess my work was decent to get me a very decent Crazy Climber out of it?!
The last cart is very special. For those that might recognize it, it is what it looks like. Far as I know, this is Curt Vendel's last 7800 high score cart. It is in a combat case as it never got a real label applied to it. In fact, it is a 1.0 version cart which I think was the first release version? Still, this was a very special suprise as I really only wanted to "borrow" one for the 7800 tourney. Instead I was told to keep it. Curt you really are a great guy, and I am very sorry that you weren't able to attend the OVGE in person. Perhaps next year?
Now, those carts weren't the only thing I picked up this year at the OVGE. Many inquired about it, and some even offered more money. But in the end my mother and my wife both pitched in and worked out a deal for me to have this:

If you wondered what happened to that wonderful Dreamcast Kiosk that was sitting behind Amalia of The Battlefield, then wonder no more. I picked it up Sunday afternoon and brought it to its new home. As a result, you can be sure that this lovely tower of Sega's last bit of power, will make routine appearances to future OVGE shows. It is also a very welcomed addition to the Ivory Tower Collection.
Oh, one more pic of the Kiosk and my boys watching the tutorial for Aero Wings:
