Terry Diebold and the Nintendo PlayStation Prototype Documentary
On December 30, 2020, the Midwest Gaming Classic was informed that longtime show guest Terry Diebold had passed away. Terry first attended MGC in 2016, where we were honored as the first location in the United States to showcase the Nintendo PlayStation prototype he stumbled upon at a previous employer. More important than the prototype, Terry became a friend and a fixture at the MGC. For anyone that met him, you know that he was always smiling and ready to share with everyone. Upon learning of Terry's passing, we wanted to do something to celebrate his time with us, so after consulting with Terry's son Dan, we are excited to use Stories of the MGC to do just that.
