Last Saturday, I had the chance to attend a little video game show held close to the OSU campus area called CORGS-CON 2009. It was being held at the undercroft of a church in the area, and didn’t have a terribly impressive web site. So, it was hard to gather what kind of show it was going to be and how many people would be there. The only part I knew is that I was going to meetup with a couple of friends from Cincinnati making the trip.
As it turned it, it was very much just a swap meet with a few minor events (a couple of high score contests, a quick presentation or two) mixed in. Due to where it was and the cramped atmosphere of it, I made a few laps around the 20 or so vendor tables, picked up a couple of sweet deals, and headed out to hang with said friends from Cincy for the rest of the day.I got:
* Street Fighter PS2 Ken Joypad for $5 (in the box, looks great)
* Atari 2600 Slik Stik for $3
* PS2 to XBox/GC Controller converter for $2
There were maybe 8 or 9 vendors there, and the room was crowded, but that’s more because the room was really small. Nonetheless, I’m glad I went, and I think it could be something that can be built up much more as time goes on. Hopefully, all of that will prove true.
That make me long for cinciclassic we had good times. Let me know if you and bill are working on it again I would love to help
I haven’t helped with CinciClassic in quite awhile, really since I moved. Sadly, as you know, there hasn’t been one in that time either. I hope that Bill Augustine still wants to do one, but I honestly don’t know where he stands on it or if he has time, but I’m sure you could reach him on it.
