Pre-Labor Day Atari Event Slated Returns to Bridgeport
|
|
|
|
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (May 25) - The largest East Coast gathering of Atari
|
|
computer and video game system users will return to Bridgeport,
|
|
Connecticut, on Saturday, August 27 and Sunday, August 28. Connecticut
|
|
AtariFest '94 promises a state-of-art exhibition of products and
|
|
services for Atari desktop and palmtop computers, video and portable
|
|
game systems, software, peripherals and accessories for the fourth
|
|
consecutive year.
|
|
The event, to be staged at the Bridgeport Holiday Inn in downtown
|
|
Bridgeport, is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday (Aug. 27) and
|
|
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday (Aug. 28). The sponsor is ACT Atari Group, a
|
|
network of computer clubs from Bridgeport, Danbury, Hartford, New Haven
|
|
and Wethersfield areas, Central Connecticut and Western Massachusetts.
|
|
Since its debut in Bridgeport in 1991, the show has attracted thousands
|
|
of Atari system owners and onlookers from around the U.S. and Canada. In
|
|
1992 and 1993 the show was held in the Greater Hartford area.
|
|
This year, organizers expect consumer attention to focus on the Jaguar,
|
|
Atari's 64-bit game system that many industry observers believe
|
|
surpasses the technology of Nintendo and Sega, among the most
|
|
widely-sold systems in the U.S. CAF '94 features New England's biggest
|
|
electronic games competition, as well as bargains on hardware and
|
|
software and professional seminars and demonstrations of computer
|
|
graphics, desktop publishing, telecommunications, electronic music, home
|
|
and business applications, and more.
|
|
Admission is $6 for adults, half price for children under 12. Two-day
|
|
passes are $10. An all-you-can-eat, buffet dinner on Saturday is
|
|
available for an additional charge. The Holiday Inn is located within
|
|
two blocks of Interstate 95 (Exit 27), Route 8 (Exit 2), and Amtrak rail
|
|
passenger and Long Island ferry terminals.
