About Southern-Fried Gaming Expo

The Southern-Fried Gaming Expo in Atlanta celebrates all issues gaming.
The three-day occasion options arcade video games, pinball machines, tabletop
video games, and extra. Particular visitors, panel discussions, and workshops are additionally
included, making it a must-visit occasion for gaming fans.

Lauren did not need to miss this 12 months’s occasion, so she took Saturday off.
Her aim was to play some retro video games and take a look at the seller corridor to purchase
video games and films.

As for me, I wished to play among the pinball machines and take a look at
some panels.

As beforehand talked about, we solely attended one of many three days: Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday. We have been solely there on Saturday. Nevertheless, it appeared
like we did not miss out on a lot, as upon checking the Expo’s app schedule,
it appeared that extra actions have been scheduled for Saturday.

Once we first received there, I bought our tickets, after which we have been off to
the gaming corridor, which additionally had distributors unfold out all through.

Lauren was amazed on the costs provided by the distributors. Some have been promoting
films for $1-$5! What a deal! There have been additionally low costs on video
video games.

After procuring, we checked out all the things earlier than deciding what to do
subsequent.

What caught my eye have been the old-school computer systems. All these methods
introduced again recollections of watching my dad play solitaire on his pc in
his house workplace and of pc class in elementary college.

I like how the Expo displayed the computer systems as if we have been coming into a
pc museum. We might additionally try the value of the computer systems again within the day,
which, by the way in which, was very costly!

Additionally, we have been capable of play on the computer systems. 

Bear in mind the Oregon Path recreation?

The Oregon Path recreation was a basic! It was so nostalgic to play it once more
on the Expo. I keep in mind spending hours on that recreation throughout pc class
in elementary college. It was nice to see all of the old-school computer systems and
relive these recollections.

Different video games I performed have been the pinball machines (I am rusty at enjoying),
Nintendo Duck Hunt,
Tremendous Smash Bros, Pac-Man, and so
far more!

After gaming, I attended a panel and watched some
retro commercials
that had me laughing to tears. It is unbelievable how, again within the day,
manufacturers put extra thought into their commercials, creating memorable jingles
and making them playful and humorous. It is also fascinating what number of actors
received their begin with commercials.

Now, the one time folks watch commercials is throughout the Tremendous
Bowl.

I want we might have gone all three days as a result of we had a blast! This
Expo introduced again so many recollections of enjoying numerous video games with my
household, and it brings me pleasure to revisit my childhood with my very own
kids.

Taking part in video games, whatever the sort, supplies a terrific escape from the
world round us. I admire how this family-friendly gaming expo brings
folks collectively for a nostalgic, healthful, enjoyable weekend!
