This was my first year there and it was a blast playing these original games on free play.  I got my money's worth with the Star Wars Trilogy game alone!  Here's a video I shot of the event:

I'm in the video at -0:23.

My son and I (also in the video) won one of the pinball tournaments. It was the parent-child tournament where the parent controlled one flipper and the child controlled the other. My son is 15 and has played pinball on my machine at home so he had an advantage over most of the kids there.

It got really crowded about 5:00 so we left.

I recognized 2/3s of the people in it... maybe I should have gone.   :-[

Thanks!  I knew none of the people there.  The only person I recognized was Keith since he's been in the previous year's local TV coverage of the event.  Speaking/writing of which...  did any of the local TV stations show up this year?

Also, the hotel they picked was great for something like this.  Plenty of parking and lounge areas to relax between gaming sessions.

By the way, who ended up winning the Zaxxon raffle cab?
