Several updates to the OVGE website to include current list of known exhibitors and vendors. Flack I still need to know what you want me to put up there for you so I can let the world know you plan to be there! hehe
Look over the website and remember...
ONLY 4 TABLES LEFT!

Crossbow I appreciate your plug for my art website! Right now I'm not sure if I'm going to have a lot of new art for sale, but I will be bringing a lot of my collection and at least one console for free play. Probably my childhood Vectrex or maybe my 2600 with one of my rarer games going.
Also, please keep us informed on the availability of Friday setup. I know it will probably be a last minute thing, but I've got a room Friday night at the Hampton and will get there a bit earlier if we get setup that night.
______________________________________
FYI: pre-orders for the PDF and CGE DVDs for OVGE close on Monday - if you want a reserved copy of anything, get your order in by Monday night! Thanks to those who have placed their orders already.
Pre-order in! Can't wait for the expo!
Just a heads up!
We are now just about a week away from OVGE2k9 and I have a few minor things to announce.
The good news first...
We now have Friday night setup! Yeah!!! I got the confirmation late Wednesday afternoon as I made the final payment for the event space. What time or how early we can begin setting up I don't yet know but I'll send out updates as I know more. At least we have some setup for Friday now!
Bad news...
All the tables require covering of some sort, so even those that paid additional for the table skirting will still need to get some covering for your tables. I've heard that party stores and the like have plastic like large table coverings for really cheap that can be bought. This would be ideal since you wouldn't care if it got torn or anything and you could just dump it in the trash afterwards. I'm likely to go this route myself.
I also learned that we won't be the only thing going on that day in the event center. There will be a charity silent auction taking place in the main arena. Because of this I lost some of my tables and now only have 2 left available at this time. Seems the auction requires more tables than I do, so the event center is taking away some of mine that hadn't sold quite yet. ugh...
Tournaments...
There is of course the standard OVGE classic gaming tourney. I haven't quite decided on which games it will be. But I do know that it will be strictly a 2600 theme this year and I know one of the games will be Centipede. I could use some ideas on two more 2600 games that are easy to play and understand and could get some scoring in during a 3min time frame?
Brad Prillwitz will also be hosting a Pac-Man Collection tournament on the colecovision using the Opcode games Pac-Man collection cartridge!
The layout has been sent to the vendors and exhibitors so they know where to setup in the event space. Any questions etc... please do NOT hesitate to contact me!
Thank you everyone and I'll see you guys in a week!
Might as well plug my own here.Originally Posted by -^Cro§Bow^-

Kaboom! - Paddles
Plaque Attack
I concur with Kaboom! and add my own two opinions: River Raid and Berzerk.
"I am a cipher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce."
Kaboom! and Berzerk! Now those are two of the easiest to understand and play games. I like the way you two think! In fact... you just decided the last two games for the tourney thank you!
Okay.. so the OVGE tourney will be Centipede, Berzerk, and Kaboom!. Now to make sure I got some excellent non-jittery paddles. I don't feel like cleaning any pots but I gots plenty of tuner cleaner if needs be!
Thanks again Gapporin and Vectorman0!
Here's some info about the "Pacman Collection" competition held at my table:
Players with the top three scores will win the following prizes:
First place:
One (new) Pacman T-Shirt "I stopped playing Pacman. It was the worst 7 minutes of my life " (size: Adult XL.)
Second place:
One (new) Pacman official keychain from Namco.
Third place:
One Pacman (cloth) retro patch from the 80's!
I also have 2 other prizes that may be given away: Pacman power pellets candy, and one Pacman tablecloth.
Rules for the Pacman competition:
- Competition starts at 1:00 p.m.
- 5 minute time limit per player.
- Joystick controller used.
- Player must be present to win prize.
- In the event of a tie, a standard Atari 2600 Pacman cart will be flipped, like a coin (label up or not?)

Man is a gaming animal. He must always be trying to get the better in something or other.
Starting to pull together my games for sale and trade and organize my lists of things to look for! I will be setting up Friday night, will anyone else be there? Since I'll be at my table most of the day Saturday I'm hoping to do some browsing early on Friday.

Aw, dang it.
Not sure if I can go. Insurance said my car was totaled from the wreck. Don't think I'll have a car to drive up there now.
Hope everyone else has fun though!
I'll be there Friday night as well, setting up and browsing. Since I'll be there by myself, I'll have to do my shopping Friday night.
BTW--love the Ace Frehley pic.
I'll be there friday as well, though probably late.
I've decided to bring up a selection of PCBs with me, so anybody into arcades should stop by. Mostly Jamma, but some good stuff. Also bringing some really oddball games (NGPC, Laseractive, Gizmondo, FDS, etc), so there will be something for everybody!

And according to the layout I got from OVGE, we're right next to each other. I want to get one of your new books for sure to go with my first one.
Oh, and Ace is still the man!

Sounds like a plan.
I'll also have lots of classic games for sale, including some hard to find ColecoVision stuff.
Are you using a supergun or bringing a cab?
Good call on the pocket color, I'd love to check out what you have.
Neither, just boards for sale. Hoping to clear some space! Off the top of my head, I have a spare Biomotor Unitron, Metal Slug 1, and Baseball I think. Haven't gone through that box yet!
