^ Wedoca's setup for some good ole turbo action. We had 2 Duo's, Shuttle, TG-16 and a SGX. We used crates to lock things down since it is a 24 hour room. That meant folks could not see the shear coolness of the systems. Below is the schedule of games we attempted to follow:

Another dude brought 40 retro setups (mostly on LCD, blech) but he did have one sole RF PCE running Galaga 88 and Pac-Land.

By far the best video game room at any anime con I've ever been to. That being said, it's still an anime con...MGC and MAGFest blow it out of the water.

Once again, i'm jealous! Sounds like another excellent convention showing for the Turbo. That's too bad about the consoled being locked down in crates... its a shame there aren't any readily available & affordable sturdy acrylic cases that could be modded to accommodate the consoles & some kind of locking mechanism.

The "milk" crates were a quick CHEAP solution. We did have one acrylic locking display case that we used for the SuperGrafx. At other cons, where we have more control, we leave the systems out so ppl can marvel at their engineering beauty. Since this was a 24 hour game room AND in Detroit...you can understand our security concerns.

Here is a few more taken by another camera:
