In between the shopping and gaming be sure to check out the movies and panels that CGE is famous for. We will be screening movies which will, in most cases, be followed by a Q&A session with the filmmaker! Attend screenings of classics and new films such as; Video Craze, Gameplay, Once Upon Atari, King of Arcades, Gamer Age, and a sneak preview of footage from the upcoming The NES Club. When the movies are not rolling, the rooms will be filled with attendees listening to panels and presentations from the video game industry alumni that CGE is famous for! Rock out with bands such as 8 Bit Weapon, The Brisitsh IBM, ComputeHer, Evilwezil, and prepare yourself for the comedy of Keith Apicary. Be sure to set aside time to walk through The Video Game History Museum. The Video Game History Museum will be exhibiting nearly 7,000 square feet of rare items like prototypes, limited-release items, accessories, and memorabilia.
