Here This Weekend: ZapCon 2017 Pinball + Retro-Gaming

According to co-founder Wes Cleveland, this latest edition of the annual convention devoted to playing classic arcade and pinball games is definitely bigger than ever.
This year's event – which takes place on Saturday, April 29, and Sunday, April 30, at the Mesa Convention Center – will feature its biggest selection of games to date, including around 200 different arcade titles and 130 pinball games. And every single one of these machines, many of which are loaned to the event by collectors and arcade enthusiasts, are available for free play.

Cleveland says that ZapCon, which originally launched back in 2013, has gotten larger each year due, in part, to word of mouth about the event.
“I think the more people learn about us, the more they want to get involved, and we welcome them with open arms,” he says. “[It] doesn't hurt that pinball and retro gaming is pretty hip these days.”
