Too Many Games Presents Game Core September 12th 2009

[mindlesspunk77]

As most of you probably know Too Many Games is presenting a new show Game Core. This event will continue to do everything Too Many Games did and more. We are trying to incorporate CCG, Dice Games, and Miniatures into the con. We are also moving into the Philadelphia area so it will be closer and easier for many of you to get to.

Check out the new website www.gamecorecon.com. Tables and Pre Reg tickets on sale now!

Game Core went to Anime Next this past weekend and talked to alot of vendors. It looks like there will be more art vendors this year and looks like we will have some awesome anime, manga, japanese toys, etc vendors this year! Keep checking the website.

[DKTheArcadeRat]

As long as gaming will be the ultimate focus of the event, I'll be satisfied.

[mindlesspunk77]

Gaming is and always will be the Ultimate focus of this event. One thing I will never give up is our large vendor room and tables affordable enough anyone can come and set up.

Bands Announced for Game Core Sound Bytes Live video game music concert

[mindlesspunk77]

What tournaments do you want to see at Game Core.

Of course we will have guitar hero, halo, smash brothers and all the regular stuff but what classic games do you wanna see? A 007 death match? a Kaboom high score fight till the death? Let me know!

[Timber]

I'm horrible at all of these but tournaments with them would be cool.

NBA Jam
Tecmo Super Bowl (nes)
Some version of Worms
Power Stone

And an N64 WWF No Mercy tourney would be awesome.

Of course I'd dominate it.

Hey guys thanks for the input on the tournaments. I think we have most of the stuff figured out. There should be a full Events/ Tournaments update coming to the website in the next week.

This week we did update some of the tournaments we know were having. We also updated about Game Core Geek Cars. We are going to have a Delorean on the show floor to get your pictures taken with or just check out with Flux Capacitor, Hoverboard and I think 1 or 2 other props. We will also have K.I.T.T. from knight rider there to check out.

We will be celebrating the Dreamcasts 10th birthday at Game Core with a big happy birthday sing along, Cupcakes, Prizes, and tournaments all revolving around the Dreamcast. If you have any ideas or want to help out please let me know.


That being said this event is shaping up to be really awesome I hope everyone can make it.

Well i have to say working with Paul T. over the past few weeks i have learned alot about the retro community. Thanks again Paul for taking time out to answer my Q's and i hope theGXL freeplay Arena adds something that we can build on in the future. Good Luck and Nice Job Booking the event 100%.

Side note, hope to meetup with some of the forum members as well.

Hopefully I talked some guy from Canada in to coming to your convention at PAX. He saw the flyer for The Portland Retro Gaming Expo and was hoping it was in Portland, Maine. He said he went to PhillyClassic before and was wishing there was something like that in the NE. I told him about your show and he was really excited. Kinda short notice though. Best of luck with your show!
