YALSA Video Game Night
January 21st, 2006 by Beth GallawayThis 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!
