Events within an Event
Many collectors of unique and exciting aspects in electronic gaming like to call the Midwest Gaming Classic home when it comes to showing their favorite stuff to others. These collectors, communities and creators come to the show focused on letting others know about the unique role that they play in the world of electronic gaming collecting. Whether it is creating something entirely new for a system that may be relatively forgotten, or just enjoying some of the most popular games, these unique insights form the basis for special "Events within an Event" at the Midwest Gaming Classic.
Events within an Event are an important part of the Midwest Gaming Classic -- the show was founded originally as a celebration of the Atari Jaguar, and this specific focus has been the basis of one of our annual Events within an Event. The goal is to try to make each experience something that would be worthy of its own event outside of the Midwest Gaming Classic, and then incorporate them all into the overall theme of the show.
In 2010, the Midwest Gaming Classic will host the following Events within an Event:
