Let's Play Gaming Expo 6/18 and 6/19 Plano Convention Center Texas

Just thought I would plug this again this year. We'll be there this year again with the arcade. Hope to have a 100+ working games this year.

https://www.letsplaygamingexpo.com/

SINCE last year, added Astron Belt, Galaxy Ranger, Tailgunner, dedicated Wild Gunman, Sea Raider, Stunt Pilot, Tapper, Ninja Warriors, Dig Dug, TRON, Frogger, Liberator, and more. Down to the wire but hoping to add Star Trek TOS upright, dedicated Guwange, Death Race (maybe), In the Hunt, Guardians of the Hood, and assuming a surmountable CMOS error, Turkey Shoot.

The contests this year include Galaga. The high score for the weekend walks away with a cabaret GALAGA (60-in-1). Awesome little machine recently shopped out.

JOHN NEWCOMER will be there speaking and will oversee a head-to-head Joust competition, perhaps challenging the victor to a game. Pretty damn cool! We will have (hopefully) 2 tournament upright Jousts, Joust cocktail, Joust 2 and Joust pinball.

Tons of console stuff, board games, vendors, and cosplay as well.

Come find us in the arcade if you get a chance to drop by the expo.

It does wind up being a bit of work, but a great deal of fun. Added Star Trek SOS for sure, Maximum Force/Area 51 combo, In The Hunt, and Starship 1. Guwange underway. May be adding Armor Attack and Death Race looking good. Still no luck with Turkey Shoot.

Just fyi, look to have made the 100+ mark. Did complete Death Race, Star Trek SOS, Guwange, In the Hunt, and get Turkey Shoot working thanks to Mike at vectorlabs. Guardians of the Hood didn't make it though I doubt there'll be a chorus of disappointment on that.

Anyway, if you're can make it, it's this coming weekend at Plano convention center.

This sounds fantastic!

All those games and a Starship 1. That's pretty good.

Post some pics for all the shut-ins like me. :)
 
We will have a ton of pictures and plan to have a walkthrough video before we open as well. It's a great time and a lot of fun watching people play games they haven't seen in decades!

Hopefully we can meet more of the local folks this year. Just look for the light blue shirts and say hi!
 
Just posting a bit of video from last year. We have added this year with only a couple of down for the count losses. Not my video but a good summary of last year and a part of what to expect this year if you can come . . .

Finished up a cool project for the show tonight. Going to have a CPS2 setup running one of the Darksoft kits, so we'll have access to pretty much every great CPS2 game made!

For the folks that are coming, what would be the one game you'd want to play? I'm considering the Hyper SF2 Anniversary edition, but I'm open to suggestions.
