The Midwest Classic is shaping up to be one of the can't-miss gaming events
of 2002, and it is just one week away! If you have not made plans to
attend, it is time to do so! Here are just a few short things that you
will see at the event.

Computers

Classic computers will be huge at this year's event! Attendees will be
able to view tons of classic computers from manufacturers like Apple,
Atari, Commodore and more in the Classic Computing Museum section of the
Computing and Gaming Museum. Along with these computes, attendees will be
able to see a lot of rare and strange computer peripherals. If you
remember the old computers with more than nostalgia, or just want to learn
the evolution of computers you will be able to do it at the Classic
Computing Museum!

Video Games

When the organizers of this year's event sat down to decide exactly what
could be considered a classic, we realized that anything could be so this
year's Classic Gaming Museum section of the Computing and Gaming Museum
will feature everything from PONG to the XBox, GameCube and PS2! Attendees
are in for a huge treat, as there will be many new developments shown for
the TurboDuo and the Dreamcast -- some of which have never been seen
before! If you have ever enjoyed playing a video game, there will be
something for you at the Midwest Classic!

Pinball

The flipper was invented in Chicago in 1947, and the game of pinball
evolved into what we know it as today. The classic silver-ball game will
have a grand showing at the Midwest Classic as Stern Pinball, the last
pinball manufacturer today, will be sending materials to Milwaukee for
attendees to view. The GOAT Store, LLC will also bring along a Williams
classic -- Space Shuttle pinball -- so that attendees may compete against
each other for great prizes. There will also be a special demonstration on
how pinball works during the event. If you have ever been curious about
how these complicated machines work or if you just want to test your skills
against friends, you will want to be at the Midwest Classic!

And much, much more!

On top of this, the Midwest Classic will feature tons of other memorable
events! Throughout the day, attendees will be able to compete against new
friends in tons of games for great prizes from show sponsors The GOAT
Store, LLC, Good Deal Games and Songbird Productions. Attendees may also
visit the Warring Worms Warzone to get themselves exclusive Midwest Classic
Atari 2600 games, meet with Carl Forhan -- creator of countless new Atari
Lynx and Jaguar games -- to get their game boxes signed, proudly sport an
event T-shirt, eat food provided by Chuck E. Cheese pizza and meet
countless new and old friends!

The Midwest Classic will truly be a classic that is not to be missed!
