[3] One of the focus areas were visits and panels by industry alumni such as Ralph H. Baer and Nolan Bushnell.
In addition to the expo, Kelly, Hardie and Santulli founded the Videogame History Museum, a traveling museum of classic video games and equipment that is on display at events like E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) and GDC (Game Developers Conference).
The group was a hit and attracted collectors from all around the north east from Canada to South Carolina.

The event was such a success that Hardie and Iida decided to break away from World of Atari and, along with Sean Kelly, created their own show, Classic Gaming Expo.
