Classic Gaming Expo 2007

Posted by Zonk on from the your-gaming's-so-old dept.

This past weekend Game|Life went to Vegas, to attend the annual Classic Gaming Expo event. They came back with a bevy of tales about the show. The best include a short interview with Pitfall creator David Crane, a look at the classic games museum set up every year at the event, and (of course) glamour shots of dealer swag.

    You think Pong's old? I play chess. Now that's 0ld sk00l for you!

    Seriously, with tons of amazing board/card types of games, why are video gamers content to hijack the words "game" and "gaming" to pertain only to their genre outside of any reasonable context? Or am I the only one who enjoys both Counter-Strike and Settlers of Catan?

      I think i enjoy settlers of catan more than counterstrike. I just don't have enough people to play Catan with. great game- give "Puerto Rico" a try. But classic (video) games are in a different light than other varieties. Think about it- While a lot of people will eventually play chess, or checkers, or tic tac toe- if you missed duckhunt, there is a good chance you'll never play that game, it's weird how technology has made the past... more obsolete.
