First off, yes, there'll be pics, along with a video. I just got home from the first night, after being there for over four hours.
I'll get the whining right out of the way that I shouldn't have jinxed it by saying on that one post that the Space Invaders pinball had BETTER BE THERE! No, it wasn't, damn it
Maybe it'll be here tomorrow but I doubt it. Played the original Space Invaders game though, but that's not exactly the same 
Well, there was all sorts of stuff, as I played Tron, Bubbles (tabletop version?! I'd never seen one!), Defender, Pac-Man for the first time in over 20 years, Reactor, Phoenix, Krull (whoa...movie supposedly wasn't very good, but I made it through all five stages to the point where it started over!), Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Satan's Hollow, the Joust pinball machine, pinball machines of all kinds and ages (the Avatar one's pretty good), some gambling machines (shame, shame! Gives me a taste for what Vegas is like...minus having a damn cup or sack around my neck...if I ever go), home consoles, lotta stuff.
An Apple II was there, with Oregon Trail. Is that hard to set up? I never played that game. I played Midnight Magic, my first time playing on an Atari XE ever. Interesting. First time playing the ColecoVision version of Bump 'n Jump too.
Well there's a taste for ya. I'm sure everyone will find it sooooo hard to believe my wrists were hurting earlier, along with my legs (standing and shifting around for hours will do that to you). I can still crank it out on the Grid Bug and Tower screens of Tron but that got painful, all the rapid firing of my trigger fingers. Nice to break 100,000 though, even though I had forgotten my Light Cycle and Tank patterns (I could literally get nine times that score back in the day).

So I got TWO!
