I love MGC. Only convention I know with like-minded people. A convention about old video games? Who would ever come to that? Thousands.

Another theory as to why MGC is popular: We live in cold climates, so many of us played home consoles since it was cold out. Hence no "Hawaii Gaming Classic".

Great MGC. Steve Ritchie came up to me out of nowhere to say hi. I haven't seen him since Expo.

Also got to meet Dirty Donnie, Zombie Yeti, a Stern programmer(I forgot your name, sorry) and the Ferereses for a fun late-night discussion on various topics.

Got to play a bunch of pins I never got to before. Dialed In was great. It felt a lot like a B/W game. Houdini is great. I got the ball stuck in the elevator in Aerosmith. Fun watching it fling a ball in the toy box(and sometimes getting in).

Black Sheep Squadron was interesting. Never saw that game before.

And MGC tradition was respected with an out of order Space Shuttle.
