The first day of the Midwest Gaming Classic for 2008 is over, with just Sunday to go now. It is a bit hard to gauge, but the UC area and the other areas around it seemed somewhat busier than last year. There were times when my area was so full of people, you could barely walk through without smacking into at least 4-6 people. Kept me on my toes most of the day, watching those who were not sure what they are doing (not very technical folks), and catching those that start messing with your setups like they own them.
On the brighter side though, the show was fun, and my area got lots of use. I won’t go into details today, as I’m rather tired, and would like to get some sleep. I’ll be posting a summary later this week, or more than likely, next week.
For now, I leave you with a shot of the few things I picked up at the show today: An Atari Flashback 2 (partly because I needed an Atari joystick at the last minute – and they only sold them in sets – at half the price of the Flashback, so I just bought the whole thing), a copy of Game Room magazine, Call of Duty 4 of the DS (used, but in very good shape, and for a good price), Pitchers Duel for the vectrex (an impulse buy), and the Classic 80′s Home Video Games – identification and price guide (decent book, but not totally what I expected).
Swag from March 29th at the MGC ’08 show
