I'm not entirely sure who on this site is near or from Louisville, KY but this weekend is the Louisville Arcade Expo:

www.arcaderx.com

I'm trying to convince the wife to attend with me this year.

I'll be there bright and early on Saturday! I'm stretching out my fingers now. I don't need any cramps playing all those arcades, consoles and pinball machines!

What did you guys think of the expo this year? It seemed like there were a lot of games that I hadn't seen before. My eyes lit up when I saw CarnEvil! I used to loooove that game. It reminded me of playing games in the old River Falls Mall arcade. They had lots of other good stuff like Get Bass (i.e. Sega Bass Fishing), X-Men vs. Street Fighter, and the elusive Savage Quest. Man, Savage Quest. Much like CarnEvil, that game never received a console port and I'm pretty sure it doesn't work in MAME. But...it had dinosaurs! In fact, here's a new rule. If your game has / had dinosaurs in it, RELEASE IT SO I CAN PLAY IT!!

I don't generally play mobile / tablet games, but Finger Derpy was pretty fun. I also didn't realize there was going to be a Skycurser cabinet. That game is awesome, but reaaaaally hard haha.

It was great. I suck at pinball but love playing so it is a great way to get all the playtime in I want.

This is coming up again! I'm torn because I normally go on Friday, but that's the day the Switch comes out :P

I plan to go on the Saturday. I usually go when it opens on Saturday morning and get several hours of play in before the heavy crowds come.
