Are you in the Waco area and looking for some retro gaming fun for the whole family? On January 20th and 21st, the third-annual ATG Expo will be held at the Waco Convention Center. The convention was founded and operated by Retro World Series director Hal Hawkins.
There will be cosplay, robotics competitions, retro gaming competitions, modern fighting games, tabletop gaming in the form of Pokemon TCG and Magic the Gathering, vendors and indie developers.
Media guests include: voice actress Jeannie Elias (Super Mario Bros. Super Show, the Jumpstart computer games, As Told By Ginger), David Crane (founder of Activision and the creator of Pitfall), Dan Kitchen (an early employee of Activision), the Pesina brothers, and Paul Niemeyer (of Midway fame) and Houston personality G-to-the-Next-Level.
It all starts at 10 a.m. on January 20th. The Vendor’s Room will close at 7 p.m. on Saturday. After 7 p.m., the event will move to an after party at Putters (an arcade/sports bar in the Downtown Waco area) and will go on until 2 in the morning the next day.
