Exhibition(s) in 2011

Classic video-games and professional-software galore invaded Athens (GR) again in 2011, being the country's biggest exhibition of old school home-computers and video-consoles.
The event presented more than 140 consoles and computers from 1977 to the present day.
Much loved home systems and gaming legends such as the Amiga, Nintendo SNES, Sega Megadrive and the original Atari PONG-type offered free plays and great excitement.

The layout was in chronological order and there were great examples of how the tools and the people who used them brought us to where we are today.

Retroshowcase was there too, participating in the awesome exhibitor team, and offering a few systems from our beloved systems collection (such as the Amstrad GX4000, Panasonic 3DO, Philips CDi 450, Sega Master System and more).
The event was a great fun, was a pleasant gathering of friends, was just ... awesome!
A few photos and videos taken by me and PDial can be found below. You can find more photos and videos taken from the fellow exhibitors at www.retrovisions.gr (initiated the event on 2011).
