No Robes required, but you can bring your favorite gamer costume. I saw Chun-Li two years running, will she be back? Who else will be there, help us out and wear something cool!
There are many many tables filled to the brim with memorabilia, games, strategy guides, collectibles, vintage gaming consoles, prizes and lots of cool stuff. If you plan to potentially make a purchase, bring some cash with you ahead of time. Support retro gaming, meet the Geeks and many other cool people who love what gaming is now and love even more what it used to be, a wise person once said: “know thine roots” and he means play old games!
………..Deckard out!
