    Exclamation NAVA Gamer's Meeting, August 29th: "Round One... FIGHT!"

    NAVA = North Atlantic Videogame Aficionados. It's FREE, and YOU are invited to attend.

    Previously at NAVA...

    - Rock Band players rallied together to save Joe's voice in the most god-awful sounding tournament ever created.
    - Pac-Man cookies were, in an ironic twist, chomped.
    - Way too much fun was being had with an NES Konami Laserscope.
    - While attempting to escape from the heat inside the store, Nicole was destroyed by acid rain.
    - Many games and systems traded hands between attendees (just look at the boxes in the photos!).
    - Pictures and video tell it best:

    http://www.digitpress.com/images/store/

    We'll retire the Rock Band set for awhile and give people's hearing a chance to heal. This month, we'll set up a super-customized Wii that can play NES, SNES, Genesis, Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, ColecoVision, Odyssey2 and more. Lots of options. We'll also get our Saturn groove on, with an import-ready Saturn system and lots of shooters and fighting games to battle through.

    Tournament: At 6pm we'll host a Saturn tourney, focused around one or more fighting games. Game(s) TBD, just bring your skills.

    Prepare for a day and night of intense gaming and trading unlike any other. It's NAVA time!

    When: August 29th, noon to midnight.
    Where: Digital Press Videogames: http://tinyurl.com/yscakm
    What happens: Gaming, trading, tournaments, big prizes! Attendance is FREE. Half price for kids!
    What can I bring?: Snacks, soda and beer are always appreciated. Cakes have been very popular as well.

    I'm fairly certain that was the most people documented/on record to be "having fun" with a Konami NES Laser Scope.

    Ever.

    Any clue as to what fighting games? Also, is it worth bringing other fighters or will everything worth playing be covered (I have a mess of them for my Saturn)?

    I'll be the parental-unit-on-duty for both of our screaming-meemies that day, so I won't be able to stay long, and I'll probably have to skip this month's outing altogether.

    Still, I'm going to try and make SJC, so I might see some you down south.

    Have fun everybody!

    Definitely bring what you've got!

    It's whatever YOU bring - this was your suggestion, remember? Seriously though, no problem if you can't make it - there are enough of us with healthy Saturn collections to fill in the gaps.

    The Saturn makes a return! Awesome!

    Here are some of the items that will make a visit to the store:

    • 1x: Boxed Star Wars Evolutions Vader's Secret Apprentice (3 figures).
    • 1x: Boxed Star Wars Evolutions Sith Legacy (Darth Bane, Darth Nihilus, Darth Maul).
    • 2x Boxed Sega Arcade Gallery for GBA

      and much more!

    If I make it up there would be a bunch of lesser known imports that never hit stateside.

    I might come. I'm not sure. I have to see how much I have left after I get a few things and see Halloween II.
