    Hey gang,
    It’s the time of year again where we rally the troops and try to beat last year’s game count. At ZapCon 3.0 we were creeping up on 300 games. Let’s see if we can surpass it this year!

    We’re offering the tried and true incentives:
    -a weekend pass for every fully functional game you bring
    -a collectible “Contributor” badge and lanyard that is unique from normal attendees
    -early entrance to the event on both days

    AND we’ve added:
    -A free “ZapCon 4” t-shirt if you bring 5+ games
    -access to the “Contributor Only” game time the Friday night before the event

    We’ve got a couple more surprises in the works for you, so stay tuned!

    Also, if you have a business or product you’d like to get in front of the southwest’s classic gaming community, we have vendor and sponsor opportunities available.

    ZapCon is as much your event as it is ours, and I hope you take as much pride in it as we do. Word of mouth is the best way for people to find out about us, so PLEASE spread the word to other collectors and enthusiasts.

    SO WHAT GAMES ARE YOU BRINGING?

    Quoted from golfingdad1:

    Cant wait ! Will there be a discounted hotel rate for out of town guests like last year ?

    Yes there will. As soon as I get the contract back from the Marriott, I'll post the information.

    The game pledges are coming in at a steady pace, but there’s still room for more! As another way to say thank-you, we’ve decided to give away a FREE ARCADE GAME to one lucky contributor! You will be entered into a drawing once for each game you bring to the show, so the more games you bring, the better your odds.

    email me if you're interested in being part of Team ZapCon!

    Just created the pinside event for ZapCon: https://pinside.com/pinball/events/zapcon-iv-2016

    If you're coming in from out of town or just want to stay close to the action, we finally secured this year's discount room rate at the Phoenix Marriott Mesa!

    The deadline for reservations is March 18th, so don't procrastinate.

    Quoted from golfingdad1:

    Made my reservation. ...
    Hey Wes , is there any possibility of having some food trucks available this year ? There just wasn't any place really around to grab some grub, that I could find, beside the less than desirable bar across the street.
    I figure it would be a good opportunity for the food truck vendors , captive audience.
    Just a thought.

    There WILL be food trucks there both days.

    I have a Star Trek Premium for sale.
    Fully modded , 850 total plays, I may consider bringing to Zapcon

    Please do! I don't think we've had a Stern Star Trek at the show yet.

    Hey gang,
    I just wanted to thank everyone for coming out. This was the best Zapcon yet, with over 300 games and nearly 2000 guests. Thank you for being part of it!

    I took a bunch of pictures at the show. You can check them out here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1183107935033567.1073741833.591319554212411&type=3
