Super! Bitcon Gaming Convention
quickfingers818:
So just today I got to attend my fifth gaming convention (Retropalooza, Screw Attack Gaming Convention, Oklahoma Video Game Expo, and Portland Retro Gaming Expo are the others) and I thought I'd share some pics with you guys. It was a lot more packed that I thought it would be. I didn't know there were so many retro gaming enthusiasts around where I live, which is only an 8 minute drive from home. Awesome expo with tons of great deals and friendly vendors. Got to see some cool youtube personalites again, such as AlphaOmegaSin and the Game Chasers. They even had a arcade section with all the machines set to free play. I'll post my pickups from the convention in the march pickups thread. As far as how the convention compares to the ones that I went, it is great. Portland Retro Gaming Convention is still the best retro game convention I have ever been to, but this is not too bad, especially since it is a short drive away. Seriously cool event, with live music, indie game developers, and I even got to play with a Retron 5 and got to play Little Samson on it (it actually plays perfect and the controller is much, much better than I thought it would be. Think Neo Geo CD-ish type of feel). The guy at the Hyperkin booth was surprised that I beat Little Samson on the spot and I told him I've beat that game at least 6 times before! Anyways here are the pics:

I wish they had this kind of thing over in Australia, PAL games are always more expensive :(
looks like super fun. If only i lived there and had a huge expendable income.
