Chiptune Artist Leeni To Perform at PRGE

We are proud to welcome 8-Bit performer Leeni to the Expo! She is bringing her unique style of chiptune music down from Seattle for one show only so be sure to stick around for her 5:00 PM performance.

"Leeni's music takes you into another dimension, perhaps one with only two dimensions, depending where your video nostalgia begins and the real world ends. Leeni's 8-bit world is so believable that you'd swear you were listening to Princess Peach crooning into a 4-track and awaiting the valiant Mario and Luigi."
    Chris Brunelle, Impose Magazine

"Leeni is constantly pushing, morphing, recreating herself and her sound. This metamorphosis brought her to the discovery of 8-bit music, a largely untapped resource on the brink of commercial stardom. 8-bit music captures an off-beat, nostalgic sound that is easy to embrace. It's a new genre, an innovative cutting edge sound with a fresh, fun perspective."
    Excerpt from Leeni's CD Baby description

10-Player Saturn Bomberman Tournament!

Did you know that BomberMan for the Sega Saturn supports up to 10 simultaneous players by utilizing two controller multitaps? It's not often that you see this rare setup and have 9 other willing players in the same place, but we're going for it this year. The game will be set up for free play throughout the show, but there will be an organized tournament with prizes at some point during the day.

In the mean time, check out this video of a 10-player Saturn Bomberman match.
