About The Author
Classic Gaming Expo, the annual retrogaming event - if you're
into this stuff at all, you've either already attended CGE
or, like me, you're jumping in the starting gate, ready to go there. This year,
despite the odds, despite having to fight like hell just to get time off from
work for it, I went. And what a year to go to my first CGE! Hanging
out and talking shop with Bill Kunkel, hearing Atari war stories from Dan
Kramer, Steve Woita, Ed Rotberg, Franz
Lanzinger and others, actually meeting
Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, buying way too many new homebrew and used
cartridges, playing so many old arcade games for the first time in 20 years, and
meeting dozens of new friends who had only recently been nothing more than names
on message boards and e-mail. And, in my off-time, royally screwing things up
in the 24th century at Star Trek: The Experience. This is my story - some of it
shared experiences that you will remember too if you were there, and some of it
the kind of wackiness that only happens to me...
