Classic Game Fest is excited to welcome acclaimed author and screenwriter, Ernest Cline, back to Classic Game Fest! Cline will be signing autographs and a meet and greet on Saturday, July 30th from 12-2pm ONLY!  You’ll have an opportunity to purchase a book or bring your own copy to have signed.
Ernest Cline is best known for his New York Times Bestselling novels, Ready Player One and Armada. If you have not read these, and you are a classic video game fan, stop what youâre doing, grab a copy of these, get cozy, and lose yourself in geeky wonder.  Ready Player One is set to be a major motion picture by Warner Bros. and has the incomparable Steven Spielberg attached!  Armada is also being adapted into a film for Universal Pictures. Cline actually had his breakthrough in movies when he wrote the cult classic film, Fanboys. And there is no doubt that Ernest Cline is a fan of classic video games. His books are full of references to Atari, arcades, and other retro gaming memories. Check out his Ernest Clineâs website for more information.
Cline is also the owner of a sweet DeLorean dubbed Ecto88 that will also be in attendance at Classic Game Fest. See Ernest Cline, Ecto88, other special guests, free play arcades, over 100 vendors, tournaments, cosplay, and so much more at Classic Game Fest on July 30-31, 2016 at the Palmer Events Center in Austin, TX.
