  • Classic Gaming Expo 2005 !! ! Wow
    San Francisco, California August 20-21, 2005 $5.00 Welcome to Classic Gaming Expo 2005 !! ! Wow .... eight years! It's truly amazing to think that we 've been doing this show, and trying to come up with a fresh introduction for this program, for eight years now. Many things have changed over the years - not the least of which has been ourselves. Eight years ago John was a cable splicer for the New York phone company, which was then called NYNEX, and was happily and peacefully married to his wife Beverly who had no idea what she was in for over the next eight years. Today, John's still married to Beverly though not quite as peacefully with the addition of two sons to his family. He's also in a supervisory position with Verizon - the new New York phone company. At the time of our first show, Sean was seven years into a thirteen-year stint with a convenience store he owned in Chicago. He was married to Melissa and they had two daughters. Eight years later, Sean has sold the convenience store and opened a videogame store - something of a life-long dream (or was that a nightmare?) Sean 's family has doubled in size and now consists of fou r daughters. Joe and Liz have probably had the fewest changes in their lives over the years but that's about to change . Joe has been working for a firm that manages and maintains database software for pharmaceutical companies for the past twenty-some years. While there haven 't been any additions to their family, Joe is about to leave his job and pursue his dream of owning his own business - and what would be more appropriate than a videogame store for someone who's life has been devoted to collecting both the games themselves and information about them for at least as many years? Despite these changes in our lives we once again find ourselves gathering to pay tribute to an industry for which our admiration will never change .

  • August 21-22, 2004
    San .Jose, California August 21-22, 2004 $5.00 Welcome to Classic Gaming Expo 2004!!! When this show first opened in 1998 no one really knew what to expect. The concept of "retro" gaming was still relatively new and was far from mainstream. It was a brave new world , where gaming fans worked to bring everyone together for a fun-filled weekend reminding us of how we got so excited about videogames in the first place. This year's event feels like that first time. For the last six years Classic Gaming Expo has taken residence in the glamorous confines of sin city, Las Vegas. It was a great run but recently we began to notice that Las Vegas is, in fact, an island . We could promote the show 24/7 for months but the one thing we could not change is that there are very few native gamers in the area. Everyone attending Classic Gaming Expo was in Las Vegas specifically to attend this show - so unless you were prepared to take a vacation on that weekend , you were going to miss it year in and year out. The move to San Jose not only brings the excitement of a fun-filled gaming weekend to a brave new world, but this brave new world also happens to be the home of videogaming itself. The roots of everything you know and love about this industry sprang not far from this very building. We think it's time to sow some new seeds and build a new home. A place where we can all experience the games, the people, and the excitement that filled our youth, all over again .

  • Participate in Creating Their Own Content Through Message Boards and Online Chat Areas
    Media Selling, 4th Edition Chapter 20 – The Internet By Vincent Thompson and Paul Talbot As an advertising medium, the Internet is complex and measured differently from traditional media. Also, online advertising buys are often difficult to execute and to implement. So why are marketers switching billions of dollars to the Internet? Because the Internet is one of the most disruptive innovations of our time and represents the most fertile environment ever for marketer-consumer interaction. Disruptive technologies transform societies – the way people live, think, and conduct business – and the Internet has been as disruptive and transformative as movable type, the telegraph, airplanes, and the computer have. The History of the Internet Most historians agree that the birth of the Internet occurred in 1969 when computer scientists from the government and universities linked large mainframe computers together with the objectives of sharing data and distributing information over a network. This groundbreaking work came from a desire to ensure the safety of government data during natural disasters or war and to allow university researchers the ability to share information. Prior to this project, networks were set up like phone systems with information traveling through vulnerable centralized hubs. With the invention of the distributed network, information could be simply routed along any of the networks’ many connections until it found its way to its final destination. Aiding in this concept was the use of packets. Packets allow small chunks of digital data to be sent into the network independently and then reassembled at their final destinations. Once the initial computers at UCLA and Stanford Universities were connected in 1969, other Universities followed suit and with each addition the network gained more power and provided more value to its users.i Over the next five years scientists developed cornerstone technologies such as e-mail, the ability to access the network remotely, and the ability to host multiple chat sessions.

  • Digital Press Issue
    Fifty II. Editor’s BLURB by Dave Giarrusso DIGITAL e had a lot of big plans for our 50th issue (“DP# 50: Wfi fty!” just in case your short term memory functions a bit like mine does as of late) and fortunately, most of ‘em made it in. UNfortunately, due to time and space constraints, and a mischievious orange tabby by the name of “Pickles”, a scant few of ‘em got left on the cutting room fl oor. The one portion of the 50th issue that we (okay, actually John) were working really hard on was the “alumni moments” section - a section devoted to all the PRESS game designers and artists who shaped what we’ve come to call our favorite pasttime. As you can probably imagine, it was a big undertaking - too big to make it into the pages of issue #50. DIGITAL PRESS # 52 MAY / JUNE 2003 BUT - guess what? John kept nagging everyone in his most convincing voice Founders Joe Santulli and eventually, with nothing but the most polite coercion, managed to round Kevin Oleniacz up the troops. In fact, everyone had such a blast working with John that we wound up with tons more material than we had originally anticipated having. Editors-In-Chief Joe Santulli Dave Giarrusso Which brings us back to THIS issue - the brainchild of John “Big Daddy” and “I’ll Senior Editors Al Backiel get to it when I get to it” Hardie.
