For the second year in a row, the Midwest Gaming Classic will host Warhammer 40K & Fantasy tournaments in the lobby area of the Sheraton. Details will be coming soon, but I can announce that the tournament is prize-supported and there will be *NO* cost to play in the tournament!!! How cool is that?!?

A few details have sprung up here: http://www.facebook.com/events/221957041227050/

More details should be announced later this week.

one question for the video game soundtracks listed for sale on the ticket page. Is there a track list for the games on each cd? Also, will they be available for sale at the Sheraton?

Just throwing it out there.... definitely see A TON of games from my childhood.

Now this is a list I like to see there..

Strider II will be in the Die-Hard Gamer Room if anything. Sadly, however, Killer Instinct got voted "off the island" as it were by the DHG Room staff, so hopefully it shows up in the Retroids room.

We'll make an announcement about what games will be in the Die-Hard Gamer Room soon along with a whole lot of announcements for stuff that we just got ironed out today!

Later.

This went live on the MGC website a little while ago: http://www.midwestgamingclassic.com/...vania-Tribute/

This year the Die-Hard Gamer Room will feature a special area on Sunday to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Castlevania's first North American release! The area will include at least eight of the best games from the series' history including the rarely seen MSX2 and X68000 versions of the original! Check out the link above for more details!

Wondering if anyone wants to hit the Delafield Brewhaus on Friday night again? If so, I'll start a separate thread and take care of the reservations etc.

PS Nation is doing a meetup at a place close to the hotel on Thursday night as well, and lunch in downtown Milwaukee at the Rock Bottom Brewery on Friday (so we can cross the bridge to get pictures with the Fonz statue too.)

Thursday Night - New Berlin Ale House
Friday Lunch - Rock Bottom Brewery
Friday Night - Delafield Brewhaus
