E3? How about the C4 convention?

Category: Industry, Posted: 07/07/2008 at 04:12PM CDT by Frank Ling, Editorial Director

c4E3, E3, E3. Everybody is talking about E3. But there was another convention that occurred recently that should get some recognition as well: namely the C4 Expo.

We pause for the scratching of heads...

The 3rd annual C4 convention isn't about explosives, but about fans of the old school Commodore 64 computer. C4 stands for the Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club. The event was held during the last week in Mitchell, Kentucky.

The official website didn't go into details about what was going to happen at the convention, but we do know that the world's first Commodore 64 LAN party was held there. A new LAN game called NetRacer was unveiled and allowed an astonishing 8 players to play together over an Internet connection.

PSN and Xbox Live...hang your heads in shame.

Who needs an Xbox 360 or PS3 when you can have all of this!

So we should divert our attention from E3 to pay attention to C4? Frank I do believe that this time you've gone fully off your rocker.
