Often we become a media sponsor and a show asks us to do some coverage or something. But the Midwest Gaming Classic is a different type of show and so, I thought I would do a 
different type of promotion. So here are my top five reasons to attend the Midwest Gaming Classic March 24th and 25th at the Brookfield, Wisconsin Sheraton (all the details are on their site).
First off, there’s the area that GDN itself is sponsoring, the Classic Gaming and Computer Museum. This is not just a set of old consoles hermetically sealed under glass for you to ogle. Far from it! In fact, it’s almost all playable. This one-of-a-kind museum contains one of the largest collections of systems from the very early computer / tv systems all the way to modern systems such as the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii! There are five areas in the Museum.
- Atari Jaguar Festival - The touring convention makes its latest stop at this year’s Midwest Gaming Classic to celebrate Atari’s final home console.
- Die-Hard Gamer Console Arcade - Covering many of the games and systems from the NES era all the way up to current classics for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
- E2M Museum - Trace the very beginnings of gaming and computing in this wing dedicated to the earliest home consoles and computer systems, and see what made both gaming and computing explode into the phenomenon it is today!
- The Family Game Room - See and learn about games that are appropriate for the entire family to enjoy together, as well as how to tell if a game is right for your child!
- The Underdog Chamber - Explore the world of runner-up and never-had-a-chance consoles, and some of the amazing games that were made for them!
- The Versus Room - The room that is all about huge console network gaming and even bigger multiplayer headcounts!
That’s like five reasons in one to go to the Midwest Gaming Classic. But I’ve got four more reasons for you to go yet.
