Classic Gaming Expo - Burlingame, CA Aug 20 and 21

Dean · Jun 5, 2005

The big event this year is right next to the San Francisco Airport in Burlingame, CA! Talking to Joe Santulli, one of the organizers and the man running digitpress.com, it sounds like this year's show is going to be bigger than last years in terms of booths and attendance.

If you want info, check the www.cgexpo.com site. Early registration ends on June 15th. Early registration is $20 and you get a personalized name tag that way too.

Who's planning on attending? I'll definitely be there both days and I decided to get a couple of tables on the main floor this year! It'll be 16' of table space in the main room and I'll have power at the table. That means I'll be able to power the 25" PVM-2530 I'm bringing and also some of the systems I'll have. Guess I'll need a couple of chairs too

I want it to be a cool little place for folks to stop by and play, chat, meet, etc. Hell, if DashK shows up I'll let him beat me in 3S for the hell of it.

I'll be posting more here as we get closer. Who is planning on attending?

SNKJorge · Jun 5, 2005

I'd probably be stopping by, even though I'd probably be exhausted from
EVO, but that's ok.

le geek · Jun 10, 2005

Already got my pass, plane ticket and crash space line up. :buttrock:

Looking forward to meeting folks in person, as well as hopefully scoring some NGPC stuff...

Will you be wearing a big Bonk mask Dean?

Cheers,
Ben

Last year I wore a Bonk shirt. This year I may wear my exceedingly dorky D-Lite softball shirt (came before my screenname years ago, inspiring the name)

Damn... that sounds like alot of fun... I don't think I could get monday and friday off work though :crying:

. nuts... I would have brought my amiga and my mvs, cps2, and naomi stuff. too bad... I guess I'll just have to host a hookup.

gemen · Jun 12, 2005

Sounds like a plan, I would like to go there.

300wins · Jun 17, 2005

I'll go, just to patronize and annoy you. :loco:

Robert · Jun 17, 2005

D-lite, do you plan to sell or advertise something or is it just to show what you own and speak with people interested?

Advertise? Perhaps I'll have a thread here and at digitpress about stuff I'll be bringing to sell and whatnot. It's mainly a selling thing since I'll be selling lots of the extra games I have in addition to modded systems.

The interesting twist is I might be bringing some NeoStore stock with me and also so modded Neo Geo systems that *I* did not mod. More details to follow. But I am really looking forward to meeting more people from the scene. Hence I'll have a nice monitor there not only for testing and demostrating systems, but also for gaming!

Funny you should mention that. I have purchased two extra passes for the expo for "helpers". Haven't figured out who those folks will be yet though.

jindo · Jun 17, 2005

Hmm perhaps I'd go too... just to check out d-lite's box of goodies for sale. :kekeke:

FOMOCO&CO · Jun 18, 2005

You know I'm always buying,... so I'll be there, again! :smirk:

SNKJorge · Jun 20, 2005

Are we playing all Puzzle games only? :smirk:

DXMachina · Jun 20, 2005

I may go.

Curt · Jun 20, 2005

I'm not sure if I'll be in SF this Aug 20 or 21. But if I am, I'll probably be there.

I wasn't too incredibly impressed last year, due to a lackluster ammount of Neo/SNK stuff.

Hell, they even had "t3h r0mz" on one of those Hanaho cabs. :oh_no:

Well this year I'm looking to help bring some SNK goodness in. I'm working with Neo Bomber Man on getting a stock of systems for it, some of which I'll probably mod, and also I hope to get a stock of cheap and medium priced AES games from Shawn to peddle, which he has agreed to.

I'll let you be the judge of that. I was thinking strictly ports :emb:

FOMOCO&CO · Jun 27, 2005

bump 4 the after party!

jindo · Jul 2, 2005

I got 8/20 off so now I'm going for sure. I guess I'll see you guys there. :eek_2:

All your homecarts are belong to me.

If it wasn't obvoius by our attendance at the last 4 shows,
let me just say you will indeed find us there doing our thang... again.

SNKJorge · Jul 9, 2005

So what KOF games are going to be available for playing?
Third Strike part of your line up?

aria · Jul 9, 2005

I can totally imagine people with dorky science fair-style poster board displays at this.

In fact, if I can go next year I will make a dorky foam-core display about the Neo Geo and maybe put together a small model of a paper mache volcano just to complete the effect

I really wish I could've gone this year, but as I mentioned to D-Lite when he first brought this up, I'd been planning to take August off for a big, post bar exam, trip.

Not sure which KOF, but rest assured there will be some there. At least 98 and 2000. Probably 2003 too.

No 3S at the moment. I'd love to have the CPS3 here, but alas I do not have it.

Dean · Jul 15, 2005

If someone didn't screw me outta that CPS3 fighter set on here, then perhaps we would have a little 3S.

Ford · Jul 15, 2005

I'll be there as well.
