  1. Philly Classic as well by Blackwulf · · Score: 1 · on Retro Gaming Gets Hot
    The Philly Classic Gaming Expo (site is currently a placeholder image for PC6) is just as large, if not larger, than their more famous counterparts on the west coast. Check them out if you don't want to fly all the way out to California for some classic gaming action.

    (CGE just doesn't like the Phillyclassic people for some strange reason, hence why they pretty much deny Phillyclassic's existence.)

  2. East Coast Evidence by Blackwulf · · Score: 1 · on Retro Gaming Gets Hot

    The Philly Classic Gaming Expo has also done immensely well...Back in March there were 2,584 attendees that passed through the doors over the weekend.

  3. One to watch out for.... by curtisk · · Score: 4, Informative · on Atari 2600 Excellence Awards Announced
    if you are into the whole retro gaming scene is the excellent looking (and so far, playing) Adventure 2 for the Atari 5200. Where the 2600 is a bit more on the difficulty curve to program, the 5200 is nice that it is basically the same as the Atari 800 computer, so programming is a bit easier allowing the developers to push it further

    If you happened to visit the recent Philly Classic you'd know that there is a tsunami of homebrew activity on the 2600, which is both good and bad IMHO as some titles feel and play like shovelware

  6. Re:best game in the genre... by kisrael · · Score: 2 · on Snood, the Simple Game

    That said, I'll own you any place, any time. I'm not kidding;

    I don't doubt it.
    Here's my story: I can beat any of the women in my family in most videogames, but not the one that they really get into. (for my mom that includes 2600 versions of Burger Time, Pengo, Ms Pac Man, Missile Command, and then GB Tetris.) And that included Tetris Attack.

    Well, my buddy and I also got into this game, his thoughtful combo-seeking play vs. my "speedbitch" technique, usually with me having a slight edge. We played for months and months. The songs and shouts started to drive my girlfriend (who still became my wife sometime during this all) nuts. And at the next family reunion...BAM! I was champion of the family, after previously being humiliated by all of them at seperate times.

    So I was pretty psyched when I went to a classic video game show and saw they had a Pok.Puzzle League tourney. I knew I there'd likely be a few freaks there who could beat me, so I wouldn't be champion, but it would be interesting to see how I did...

    I got clocked in the first round. By someone who got schooled in the second.

    People can build up ungodly skills in this game. (And alas, my main competitor has given it up, citing carpal tunnel like reasons, so I'm unlikely to pursue my own skills much futher)
