Classic Gaming Expo 2K2
Part II
Into The Fray - Booths And Exhibition Hall
By the time I arrived at the exhibition hall Saturday morning a long line had already formed. Shortly after 9:00 AM the doors opened and crowds of classic gaming enthusiasts rushed in! It looked like vendor attendance was up from last year. Well-known names like Carl Forhan's Songbird Production, Intellivision Productions, Digital Press, Atari2600.COM, B&C Computers, Twin Galaxies mixed with some new ones like AtariAge, Zektor, GamingWorldX and more. Also present again was the Las Vegas Pinball Collector's Club and Tim Arnold out to raise more money for charity.

In addition to the booths the exhibition hall also had a band area (for the various live performances), a concession stand and many arcade games (see next part). In the back corner were some original retail kiosks for classic systems and the videogame tournament area. Many of the booths had extra goodies like prototypes, engineering samples, various memorabilia and collectables displayed. Proceed to the next page and check them out!
