At every Classic Gaming Expo, the game designers and hardware gurus who were there on the ground floor of the video game industry tell their stories - how they started their careers, implemented their ground-breaking ideas, and ultimately created a multi-billion dollar industry. They are the pioneering programmers who built legendary machines such as the Atari 2600 and Intellivision, and created timeless favorites such as Pitfall! and Pong.
Now, for the first time, an entire Classic Gaming Expo show has been professionally filmed and edited - Every keynote presentation! Every minute of the legendary CGE Auction! Even the invitation-only alumni dinner! Plus DVD-ROM bonus features let you browse through the entire history of CGE.
Pre-orders are being taken here; first discs ship toward the end of February.
