I am new to hearing of the CGE, can someone sum it up for me? Like what goes on there, trading, talking, auctions, what? Thanks for any help you can give!

its all of what you said plus more.
its an awesome experience and worth the $25-$35 to get in! :D

it is in Las Vegas Aug. 10 1nd 11.
you get a chance to play old arcade games(free play all day), meet people from here and the people who actually made games for systems like atari 2600, and people who are currently making new games for the older systems.

there is an auction usually on saturday evening for 1 of a kind items.
on both days there are people from game magazines and game companies
who talk about about how was to make the games.

you can trade games with others collectors or buy games from dealers at the show.

I went there 2 years ago and loved it so much that I went back last year and
I plan to go this year and the next year. :D :-D :)


If you got the money its worth the time to go at least once!!!

A picture is worth a thousand words. So there you have like... millions of them.

Man, that convention looks fun..do you guys go every year or something? :o

[digitalpress]

"you guys".... ?

I can't speak for everyone, but yeah, I go every year. Then again, I don't have much of a choice what with being an organizer and all. Every time I try to get out... they PULL ME back in.
