prOk Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Hi All, just thought i'd start a thread for this year's show! Free Play Florida is 3 days of gaming fun in the middle of Central Florida just minutes from all your favorite theme parks. We cover anything electronic gaming from Atari to Pinball and everything in between. Tons of panels, interactive things to do, gigantic arcade games, artists, and celebs. I'll post more as e get closer, but for fun here's our first guest announcement! Returning to the wonderful Doubletree Sea World in Orlando, Florida November 17-19! Tickets are only $25 a day or $65 for the whole weekend of fun! Hope to see you there. /brian 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/267275-free-play-florida-2017-november-17-19/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
neotokeo2001 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I will be a vendor again this year. Looking forward to going again. If anyone on here is looking for Atari or Nintendo NES/SNES games let me know. I will be taking a lot of stuff with me.

prOk Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Heya everyone, thought i'd update with a couple quick things! We are just under 2 months until the show and here's your first look at our official event shirt! Also, as i'm sure you are all just as big of Atari fans as I am i'll announce here first that we've partnered with Scott Dayton, Atari Age, Robb, Albert, and Cybertron Games to make a special complete limited edition boxed game to celebrate the event! Scott has masterfully modded Midnight Magic to have a cool Florida Retro gaming theme. We'll share the final result very soon, as our event is a 501c3 non profit the sales of the game help us put on the event! We have also announced some great guests including the voice of Space Ghost, George Lowe, Walter Day, Billy Mitchell, Todd Rogers, Brian Colin and of course the ever popular Keith Apicary. Thanks for reading and hope to see you there!

BiffsGamingVideos Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 aww man, I'm going today but I have a cold. Can't really talk. Maybe that's a good thing. So if you see me in my BiffsGamingVideos shirt stay a few feet away and learn sign language. For some reaon I always lose my voice when I have a cold.

+SpiceWare Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Nice! From the photos it feels like a smaller gathering, more like the Houston Arcade Expo than Classic Game Fest or Portland Retro Gaming Expo. I created similar system info placards for when I bring my systems to the Houston Arcade Expo (also have them for the 7800 and the ColecoVision) Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/267275-free-play-florida-2017-november-17-19/#findComment-3896577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Oh yes, this is a smaller event but definitely a good one and lots of fun. Those placards look nice!

+SpiceWare Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 The Houston one's fun too, though I wasn't able to attend this year - normally it's early November, but due to a scheduling conflict at the hotel they held it October 20th & 21st and I'd already committed to be on a panel at PRGE. The two VCS placards are because I had one set up with joysticks and another set up with paddles.
