The weekend-long gamer’s paradise, Midwest Gaming Classic, will return to the Baird Center April 5-7.
Attendees will have the opportunity to play more than 10,000 games, ranging from vintage to new releases, including classic pinball and arcade games and every generation of console, tabletop games. There will also be live entertainment and meet-and-greets with pop-culture personalities.
“Our goal is to create a fun and welcoming environment where people of all skill levels can gather to enjoy their favorite games and discover new ones,” event co-founder Dan Loosen said. “In addition to hardcore gamers, a common sight on the weekend will be parents sharing their childhood favorites with their kids, such as Oregon Trail, pinball games, Pokémon cards or NBA Jam.”
The annual event has drawn attendees from throughout the Midwest and even some from around the world, including those from Japan, South Korea, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany and Spain. Last year’s event drew 23,000 people and even more are expected this year.
