YALSA Video Game Night

This should be an annual event. Game Crazy came and set up:

  • Dance Dance Revolution (Mario mix and Ultramix 3)
  • Donkey Konga
  • Guitar Hero
  • Karoake Revolution
  • Madden 2005
  • Prince of Persia
  • Tekken
  • and more!

Goodie bags including a card game, xbox lanyard, stickers, coupons, pens. A bunch of games got raffled off at 8 PM and then people left for other events.

I played just a few games – LOVE Donkey Konga – and spent a lot of time talking to folks about what they were doing with gaming in their libraries. The coolest idea I heard was a public library in Humble TX that just had a program called Pong, Pizza and Prizes. They used the handheld games shaped like an arcade game with a joystick that sell for around $15 and plug right into the TV to play retro games, and raffled one off to a winner. What a cool idea!
