Retropalooza

Yesterday I took the kids to the amazing Retropalooza convention in Arlington, Texas, and boy did we have a blast! There were loads and loads of dealer tables with some very cool nostalgia items on display, classic and rare games galore, cosplayers, and even a few YouTube celebrities. Take a look at some of the fun things we discovered.

The owner of Tendril here was willing to let him go for a meagre forty dollars, making it the best deal I found.

The Star Wars dealer table got a little more love than usual thanks to the buzz surrounding Episode VII.

Came with an old record!

This was my pick-up at the convention. I’ve been searching for a copy of Dungeon! for years now. Wizards of the Coast apparently bought the rights and recently re-released it. Thanks a million! One of my most fondly remembered board games from back in the day. Anybody ever played this? It’s sort of like a simplified version of HeroQuest. All the fun, without as much of the boring setup.
