Parrothead Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 It is with great pleasure that Classic Gaming Expo (CGE) 2014 is announced to be held at the Riviera hotel and casino in Las Vegas NV Sept 12-14! While allot of new features are being added and improvements made to bring CGE attendees a bigger and better CGE with a commitment to repeat performance, CGE is and will remain the same CGE that is the big happy family reunion environment we all love. What will be the same? One of the things that sets CGE apart from other expos is the large and diverse alumi VIP presence, that will be as it always was, our past vendors and exhibitors will be invited to return as well as new vendors and exhibitors. The Video Game History Museum (VGHM) and auction will continue to be a core part of the expo and will be staffed by Joe Santulli, Sean Kelly, and John Hardie just as it always has been. Pricing is also largely unchanged! Vendor pricing is the same as previous years and weekend passes have seen only a nominal change which we have more than made up for with some great room rates and special features! What will change? The VGHM has grown so much that the CGE services staff simply could not opperate both with the attention due, and a new crew mostly made up of RetroGaming Roundup staff has stepped up to help run the expo they love as much as you do. The most obvious change is that a whole extra day has been added to CGE in recognition that many of you arrive in town on Friday and have been left to your own devices. Extended hours! CGE will be open extended hours after the vendor section has closed so that you can spend more time with great gaming and the fellowship that is CGE. More games! The arcade section and console sections now have dedicated department heads who will be expanding those areas with more games and events! The lobby of the Riviera features approximately 40 pinball and video games provided by the Pinball Hall of Fame in addition to the free-play arcade located in the CGE expo hall! If you have ever attended CGE as a guest, alumni or vendor, if you have fond memories of a great year at CGE, or you always wanted to attend CGE; this is your year! So spread the word to every gamer you know and start checking the website and facebook for updates on registration, alumni, and all the other important matters! Visit http://www.cgexpo.com for more information and to register. If you are interested in exhibiting as a vendor click here (spots are filling up fast!) http://cgexpo.com/vendorinfo.php Speaking on behalf of the entire CGE team, we hope to see you all there this fall!

The normal panel format is being thrown out the window, and Curt and I will be recreating the unique group lunchtime chats that Atarian Steve Woita was able to help put together for us over two days during our interviews for Atari Inc. - Business Is Fun. These alumni will actually be sitting around each other in the middle of the audience, discussing their time at Atari with each other and fielding questions from the audience. Alumni to include: Steve Woita Bob Smith Howard Scott Warshaw Tody Frye Keithen Hayenga Aaron Hightower Bob Polaro Rob Zdybel David Crane Don Traeger That will immediately follow with Howard's talk at 5pm, at which Microsoft is attending and will be showing a special screening of their documentary Game Over, covering the myths and story behind Howard and ET as well as the recent dig in Alamogordo.

+Atari_Warlord Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Had a great time at CGExpo and meeting a couple of the folks from Atariage. The 2600 was definitely way underrepresented. I finally got around to opening a Flickr account and here are a couple pictures I took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomjscott Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Does anyone know if CGE is going to be held this year? I went many years ago and keep wanting to go back, but haven't had the time. I was hoping this would be the year, but it looks like it's not going to happen as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 if I was a betting man, I would bet it don't happen this year, if it was to happen this year, I don't think it will be in Vegas! you should come to our PRGE this year. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
