Thanks for keeping us on topic Tan.
That gaming show really does look cool. The next time the anime convention is in town, I might go with one of my friends. They have lots of import goodness there!
EDIT: Also, the Vectrex kicks some major butt. I've only played one once, and it was $299.99, with 2 games. A bit too pricy for my budget.
Good luck with that. The majority of anime conventions I've attended tend to only focus on the newest comps and games available on the market. Often times the only way you'll get something in older then a PS2 is if there's a BYOG room set up. Many of the larger anime conventions frown heavly on such as the legal issues of responsibility can play havoc on either their or the hotels insurance if they dont word it just right. Plus, sad to say, many modern gamers having never seen some of the more old home console systems just dont realize what they missed out on. Old PC stuff? That'd blow their mind.
The convention sounded like it was rather fun. Dont know if they have any in Texas that are like that but if I ever find one, I'd like to give it a try.
