I bought a Master System today, and outside of the built-in Snail Maze, I don't have a single game for it. I'll be looking to stock up on SMS stuff at the show.
The system also came with the 3-D glasses - unfortunately, the adapter was missing. I'll be looking for that too.
Two weeks away!
I have some Master System games coming with me to the show.
Awesome! I too would like to increase my meager SMS library. Didn't have one when I came to CGE last year.
Me too. Nothing too earth shattering but some solid titles
The show is less than two weeks away! Please help us spread the word about our show to all who you know that would be interested in coming. The next two weeks we are hard at work at making this the best one yet. There will be a product at our show for most everyone, from Atari to Xbox!
On a side note, there will be several homebrew items at our show this year. Pick any main system and we probably will have it heavily supplied at our show with consoles, games, accesories, and "other" items

Less than 10 days to go!
I just posted the freeplay system list. We have a lot this year.

It's crunch time....next few days I am going to be spending on finishing the price lists for everything I am bringing to this show. I am tired of video games at this point almost. My friends and people who know me don't really realize the effort it takes to price everything piece by piece. I am taking my time and making sure I don't miss anything. This year I am going to have a lot of random stuff.
Blasphemy!
Yeah, I have no idea how much work it is to price things for a video game convention.
My non convention friends that think we've been only working on this at our leisure then. I should of been in more detail. For the being tired part, its like this for me, I have everything priced and boxed and almost ready to go. Then I am getting bombarded with calls from friends wanting game systems. Where were these people a month ago when everything was still on the shelves?
Sounds like your doing better than me Corey. I pretty much have everything boxed up and organized, but only about 1/4 of it is priced I think. I'm gonna have to take a day off this week I think to get caught up. I'm so glad we get to set up the night before.
Nothing is set in stone for boxing up. I still trying to figure out how to get my lit display down to Portland. It's an old hallmark display cabinet that I got for free a while back but its awkward to move. I am glad we have Saturday set up as well.
Does it have wheels? Tow it behind your car. You know what you need Corey? A giant rack for your roof so you can do some serious hauling. But I'm sure if that would be JDM or not.
y-bot
My dad agreed on taking the display in the van. I hope to get a lot of stuff in there. Then the rest would be in my $500 miracle worker my car.

I'm totally excited about the show this year, it sounds like it's gonna be a ton of fun!
At least three of us Pink Godzilla/Gorilla guys will be making the trek down from Seattle on Saturday night so we can hang out at Ground Kontrol for a while and remember what it's like to be in a real arcade. Discs of Tron, here I come!!!
I'm trying to add to my classic console collection this year, hopefully with a nice looking Channel F. I've never failed to find something amazing at these shows, especially the pristine boxed Odyssey 1 I scored from y-bot at Jet City Retro last year.
Can't wait until Sunday!
I'll see you guys at Ground Kontrol late on Saturday if you are still there.
toby
Glad to see you folks coming. I knew that you would. This show is going to be the best place to score games and systems of all kinds, not to mention all the homebrew titles that we will have at our show this year. We have poured a metric ton of combined effort into this show.
I am busy working on project "x" "y" and "z" that will available at the show

I might know someone bringing a boxed channel F to the show.
Sweet! I'll have to keep a look out for that.
So I was looking around on my computer and I found a few pictures of the haul that a friend and I picked up at the 2007 Portland Expo...
That is an entire hotel bed full of awesome. I'm hoping for a repeat this year.
Spent this night fixing and testing Atari 2600 Paddles.
I'm looking for a couple of psx games if anybody coming has them.
I'm looking for:
-Tomba!
-Mega Man Legends 2
I would prefer complete copies but will consider disc only copies for the right price, since I mainly want them to play.
Hopefully we can work a trade for something from my booth but if not that's cool too.
Last year, I scored SOME CRAZY STUFF
I seriously recommend anyone in the area to consider coming to our show, you will not regret it. Here is a picture of some of the great stuff I got from our show. We have a very diverse vendor selection in which you are able to find variety from Odyssey to Xbox. I know of several vendors that are going to have some AMAZING stuff.
