Oh this is classic - the consumer games industry gets to the Amusement Trade show... to late!!!
It would be hillerious if it was not such an important show! And just look at all the games that you missed. I wondered why my email had suddenly been hit with a rush request for a run down of the show!

Apparently you have been hit with 'a rush request' because we gave the show a mention. Getting excited about a single request certainly shows enthusiasm though, I'll give you that.
It does suggest that maybe you didn't get a show report done in time though.

Look guys, the arcade industry, as Eugene said, is making a major come back - games like AfterBurner, 2Jucy, BemaniaXD, PumpIt!NX and Chase HQ2 are BIG - and you go and miss it!!!
Excellent news... really, good stuff.

That, however, pal is an advert, for which we'll be invoicing you.

I understand how it reads like a advert - but how do you say, "hey if you would like to see what you missed please read our stuff - as we made it there on time (for all the three days)"?
If you did run news of the event (missed that), I cant work out why you were not able to get there - and why you , and a whole bunch of the consumer media are running around asking for pictures of the show and reports!
I cant say how important this event was - the 2 Jucy gun game from Sega was a major event, as was the news from Konami on their two big releases. But the chance to play the new cell shaded Chase H.Q. 2 made the trip well worth while.
ANything we can do to help was offered back in 2005 to SPONG regarding the arcade sector, but I think the then editorial team was not interested?
