If you miss blowing into game cartridges, Classic Game Fest is for you. Three days filled with bountiful retro video games, panels, and musical performances emanate from Palmer Events Center. Attendees can partake in tournaments for classics such as Halo 2 (original XBOX version), Super Smash Bros., and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (arcade version). Guest speakers include Tim Kitzrow (voice of NBA Jam) and former Atari game designer Howard Scott Warshaw. Babality punctuates CGF on Sunday afternoon with a set covering songs scored for video games. – Derek Udensi
