Seen At Classic Gaming Expo 2012
Every year the Classic Gaming Expo sets up shop in Las Vegas. The conference just closed its doors for another year, and its exhibitors are busy packing up their wares, but you can check out some of the expo's highlights in our media gallery.
No fancy greeting at the CGE
A row of classic arcade games line the back wall of the hall. They were all free to play
There are a lot of games for sale at CGE. Here's one about history. It's for adults, probably because children find history boring
The marketing team behind this game may not have know what game they were trying to sell
Artists like 8-bit Weapon kept jammin' throughout the show
Part of the CGE Auction held Saturday night. Some of the proceeds went towards the Video Game History Museum
A view of the expo hall. It's not as glitzy as E3 or sprawling at GamesCom, but it's heaven for a retro gaming fan
Our friend Wreck-It Ralph made it to the party. Fans lined up to play his game. The rest of the arcade games resent him and call him a poser
A shot of the Video Game History Museum's set-up the morning before fans got a chance to wander around. All of the following shots are taken from their collection
Pong never really caught on with animals for some reason
Board games based on arcade classics
A Japanese Atari 2800
The Game Gear had a diverse collection of game box art
Meh, this poster is okay; I'd probably give it a 5.75 out of 10
Seaman of the Sea. We don't know where this came from, but it tasted like sarcasm
If you think diet programs are a new fad take a look at this. Judging from the mustache on the packaging this came out in the '80s ('81 in fact)
Tell us how to love Nintendo
What a unique and fun looking character
One of the designers behind these packages actually knew what basketball was, the other one got picked on a lot in school
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.

Thank you.
