    Seattle-Based Classic Video Gaming Show Announces Event Dates and
    Location

    SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - February 16, 2004 - Northwest Classic Gaming
    Enthusiasts (NWCGE) is pleased to announce their annual show, NWCGE 2K4,
    will be held Saturday, May 8, 2004 in Seattle, Washington. Come see the
    beginnings of the video game industry and how it has evolved from the
    early days of Pong and Atari to today's offerings from Nintendo, Sony,
    and Microsoft. In its seventh year, the Northwest Classic Gaming
    Enthusiasts Expo is a show dedicated to bringing together video game
    fans of all ages to play classic and modern games, meet historical
    leaders of the video game industry, and see the latest offerings from
    various exhibitors and vendors. Organized by gamers for gamers, NWCGE
    2K4 should be on every video game fan's calendar.

    The highlight of past NWCGE expos has been the Annual Northwest Atari
    Championships, and this year will be no different. More than a simple
    high-score contest, the Northwest Atari 2600 Championship has become an
    annual tradition among local gaming enthusiasts, covering varied skills
    from joysticks to paddles, high-score contests to direct head-to-head
    combat, all through several rounds of play. Prizes are given away
    throughout the competition and the winner will be declared the Atari
    World Champion. As if that wasn't enough, additional contests and prizes
    are slated to be conducted throughout the event on various classic
    systems. Everyone has a chance to win.

    The Seattle area is home to many leaders of the video game industry,
    both past and present. Several of these celebrities have already agreed
    to appear at the show and share their views regarding their
    contributions to the video game industry. The show is a wonderful
    opportunity to rub shoulders with the very people that have shaped how
    we view and play video games today.

    The show is also an excellent opportunity to purchase hard-to-find games
    from reputable dealers and trade and sell games with fellow gaming
    enthusiasts. In addition, several new games for classic systems will be
    released at the show. Rarities and never-before-seen games have
    surfaced at the show in the past.

    The show has traditionally been held in small venues with limited
    sponsorship. This year the organizers have decided to host a much
    larger event backed by well-known leaders of classic gaming including
    AtariAge, Digital Press, Packrat Video Games, the Atari History Museum,
    and many more. This year's event will be held at the Seatac
    International Airport Holiday Inn, a modern hotel with many amenities
    for attendees and those that wish to stay overnight.

    There's no other show like NWCGE 2K4 in the Northwest, and it's sure to
    be a must-attend event for gamers of all ages. For more information,
    please visit the NWCGE website at:

    So waiting to see a Colorado Extreme event just so there is a photo of a big COX poster with some hot dogs on it from Burgertime.

    Yeah. I know you are all waiting too.
    Bomberman is a robot engaged in the production of bombs. Any robot that could escape the underground compound and make it to the surface could become human. Will he ever make it up to the surface? Once there, will he really become human?
