    Default Midwest Classic Pictures!

    Here are some of the pictures I took at the Midwest Classic in Milwaukee on June 7…nice to have a driving time of 30 minutes to one of these things:


    Half of the museum at the show featured classic computers.


    The other half focused on classic gaming.


    Lots of people to talk to and things to see.


    A well stocked table,…in front of a table run by Super Monkey Ball 2 addicts.


    “Would you take $50 for that PDS?….should I take your laughter as a no?”


    My contribution to the display…with prominently featured Collector’s Closet clipping.


    Plenty of free pinball for the guys…


    …while the ladies, of course, were drawn to Ms. Pac-Man.


    The developers of Feet of Fury, releasing their new game for the Dreamcast at The MWC, sign show copies.


    A brave soul tries his feets at Feet of Fury ( Sadly the Dance Pads were rated at 225 lbs. so I had to pass ).


    The Ajax Arcade unit raffled off at the end of the show. I heard it was won by a father and son in matching Hawaiian shirts….so that’s how the next generation gets the bug!

    Holy crap! An IMSAI 8080 in the flesh? Color me impressed with whoever's kept that poor old thing knocking around!

    Damn that looked like a neat show. I would have loved to try Feet of Fury... but alas I'm just over that 225 limit myself *cough*.

    Thanks for the pictures, Rich! I've been trying to figure the size of this event, this clears things up quite a bit. Looks like fun!

    From what I heard the IMSAI wasn't functional but I think that one of the museum caretakers was going to be repairing it.

    forgot all about it, between limited internet and moving, it just blew my mind.

    blah.
    My life and perception has changed, but my principals are the same.
