Thanks for the kind words. It is appreciated by the much overworked staff behind the show!
As for Cyberball...apologies, but the game list on the website is officially listed as "tentative."
We do our very best to maintain the list and keep it as accurate as possible, but the reality of the situation is that we have many exhibitors each year coming from a large variety of locations, some are known and come each year while others are new. And what each of them decides to ultimately bring to the show is of course their decision. Most exhibitors try their best to let us know in advance, but sometimes life situations beyond a given person's control takes over and their list may undergo necessary changes that were simply not expected, and sometimes they even have to cancel at the last minute (which happened to a couple of folks this year as it does almost every year). These games are also 25-30 years old now in many cases and can thus have failures at any time, and sometimes a game will simply fail too close to the show dates for the owner to have time to fix it.
Thus, without getting into specifics, Cyberball did not make it this year unfortunately. A couple of other titles fell into this "missing" category as well such as Donkey Kong, Jr. due to extenuating circumstances beyond the owner's control. But we did have over 500 games on the show floor this year which was a new record so we hope there were plenty of alternate choices for everyone to enjoy
.
Thanks again for coming to the show, and hopefully we'll see y'all next time!
Happy gaming,
Jon (and the Extreme Team)
