The CGE team is presently discussing the expanded scope of 2k8. That is, we're planning on opening the term "classic gaming" into a more current era. After taking that year off and seeing what people who come into my store are looking for, it has become more clear that "classic gaming" doesn't date back as far as us old guys tend to think.
Basically we're looking at all abandoned, discontinued, orphaned systems, if you will. I'd like people who attend CGE to come with the same expectations as customers in my store: "a place where I can find stuff that isn't being supported anywhere else". That said, this pretty much extends the scope into the N64 and Dreamcast era. This isn't a final decision but this thread will certainly help things along.
Note that in the past, we've tried to enlist Turbo Zone Direct and Neo-Geo.com to no avail. We did have Neo Geo Freak for a few years in Vegas but they seem to have disappeared.
So the question is: as we begin scouting vendors for next year, who would you suggest as candidates for this expanded scope? Are there sites, eBay stores, physical locations you're familiar with that stock SNES, TurboGrafx, Neo-Geo, 3DO, Jaguar, N64, Dreamcast and the like? If so, please share them here with us so we can begin tracking them down.
