Video Game Summit Registration Announced
Chicago, Illinois - (December 31st, 2007) - Remember how much fun you
used to have playing
Atari, Nintendo and all kinds of games on your computer? Well, you
will have the rare
opportunity to play these great games again at the Video Game Summit,
a video game and
computer trade show. In fact, several dealers in retro games will be
on hand offering games,
controllers, systems and memorabilia and will be prepared to buy or
trade for the games you
have held onto since you were a kid. Who knows, you might just have
an Atari cartridge worth
$1000 or more collecting dust in your attic.
"Retrogaming," the playing and collecting of vintage video and
computer games, is more
popular than ever. In fact, a dedicated group of programmers still
issues new games for game
systems, such as the Atari 2600, last seen in retail stores over
fifteen years ago.
The Video Game Summit, now in its fifth year, brings together
retrogamers from all over the
country to swap stories, games and to compete in sanctioned
tournaments. The event is open to
the public and people of all ages with an interest in video games or
computers are encouraged to
attend. According to the event's organizer, Dan Iacovelli, "we plan
to have several gaming
consoles set to free play and a trade room where collectors will be
free to swap their extra
games." Best of all, admission is free!
The Video Game Summit will run from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. and will be
held in the Heron Point
Building adjacent to the Fairfield Inn located at 645 West North
Avenue in Lombard, Illinois.
Registration is open now at http://avc.atari-users.net/Events/VGS_files/register.html.
