Print tickets got me in OK.

Not bad... although I had expected more vendors.  Were there more rooms that I missed?

Good: Lots of machines on free play, a few interesting vendors; contests looked like lots of fun, and brilliant to see this going on.  Cosplay folks looked like they were having fun too.

Things to maybe work on next time:

1) Not much you can do about this, but I guess I was expecting more cab variety.  With so many of the playable games being sit-down multi-game cabs fixed to a particular game... I dunno, it felt less like an arcade and more like a casino.  I showed my wife (a non-arcade person) pictures and her reaction was the same.  Maybe not much you could do there, of course.

2) Okay, maybe just me, but it would have REALLY helped to have NAMES OF GAMES displayed on the cabs.  With so many of the cabs looking identical--and worse, with many of the "instructions" around the controls being for the wrong game--it was very difficult to tell the name of any particular game.  More than once I would play a game and think "hmm, this is interesting and I had not seen it before"--and literally be unable to tell what the name of the game was (particularly if the game was japanese with little English text!).  Even little placards with name of game, manufacturer of cab, etc would have been great.  There were some great machines there and great fun games, new and old.

3) Old Man Quibble: music seemed way too loud.  Deejays/announcers were even louder.

4 ) I found myself really wanting more information overall--on manufacturers, games, event details.  I never did figure out where/when the raffle was (there's a ticket I won't get use out of).

5) SERIOUSLY not much you could do here: Totally smelled like Stinky Gamer.

So not a rousing success, but still really cool to put on.  Seeing younger generations get excited about coin-op style cabs made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  Good job overall and I'd love to see it bigger and better next year!

Any way to pay on the door? Turns out I may be able to come tomorrow after all....
S0L:
Seconded. Turns out I'm free tomorrow and I'll gladly come down and pop in if I can pay on the door :)
