one of 250 exhibitor displays during a four-day
gaming convention in Indianapolis.

Gamers out, NABJ in.: More than 25,000 video game fans attended the 39th Gen Con gaming convention last week at the Indiana Convention Center, just before NABJ arrived in town. Remants from their gathering were spotted throughout the convention center, including a super-sized Batman.

The consumer science-fiction, fantasy and adventure game convention offered 5,500 gaming events from Thursday, Aug. 10 to Sunday, Aug. 13.

The annual convention, which has been held in Indianapolis for the last four years, featured interactive games, films, robot exhibits, costumes, and contests.

The conference also included celebrity appearances by Richard Hatch who played Capt. Apollo in “Battlestar Galactica” and Kevin Sorbo of “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.” Gen Con will host another convention in Anaheim, Calif. in November.
