NAVA Gamer's Meeting, February 28th (NOW WITH PHOTOS)

[digitalpress]

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

Previously at NAVA...

- Gamers got to try some rare and obscure PlayStation imports. Pepsiman and Vib Ribbon were favorites.
- Left 4 Dead had been recently installed in the Internet Gaming Center and was clearly the most popular game of the day.
- The store's first Christmas grab-bag took place. Don Evanoff got a clock!
- A multi-game tournament determined the winner of a brand new Mega Man 9 press kit. Big money prize!
- Many games and systems traded hands between attendees.
- Pictures tell it best:

There was no January NAVA so we're expecting a big turnout for this last event of the winter season. Bring your game face, trade box, and "show and tell" items and prepare for a day of gaming shenanigans!

We'll be holding a tournament at 6pm, most likely Street Fighter IV, so if you want in, be sure to be here for sign-ups at 5pm.

When: Saturday, February 28th, 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.

[GrandAmChandler]

Call it what you want, but I am calling it return of the GAC.

I am requesting at least one classic gaming console be hooked up. Anything 8-bit and below is fine with me. I also would not be adverse to seeing a monitor and classic game system be set up in said basement in front of that comfy couch down there for us VIPs.

-GAC-

[Vectorman0]

I should be there, as long as I don't get sick before the event.

I vote for Atari 8-bit action. How about 1 HDTV upstairs, and one Commodore monitor (or the nice Sony one)?

Cool.

How about 2 HDTVs upstairs and a Commodore monitor downstairs? I don't think the table down there can support the weight of the Sony. But there's no reason why we can't set up a system down there.

[Vectorman0]

Sounds good to me. :)

[Apollo]

Is it alright if I bring my own controller for the SF4 tournament?

[digitalpress]

Is it alright if I bring my own controller for the SF4 tournament?

I've always allowed people to use their own controllers as long as there are no turbo/slo-mo etc features on them.

[Vectorman0]

I think I can help you out with all of the above.

As for the SIO2PC cable, I've got at least 2, one of them is even built neatly into a 130XE if you are interested in picking up a new system. This way you only need to hookup a serial cable to the back of the system and not worry about SIO cables at all. (For a bit of history this 130XE was owned by John Hardie and purchased at Philly Classic 2 or 3 - I don't know if this increases or decreases its value). I have SIO cables too, as well as various carts and even a tape or two.

To anyone else, post your wants/needs or send me a PM. I have all but gotten out of console gaming in favor of arcades and pinball. I have tons of stuff that I need to try to convert to cash: Dreamcast, NES, 2600, Genesis/Nomad, Jaguar, Lynx, TG-16. Just about everything except for the NES and Genesis are boxed and complete. I really need to get rid of a lot of this stuff but I likely won't have room to bring everything, so send me a PM to ensure I bring anything you might be interested in.

[Kid Ice]

THE RETURN OF GAC, KID ICE, GOBLIN, ATARI 8-BIT GAMING, THE DP ZINE, AND TREACHERY AND GREED ON THE PLANET OF THE SPEGA CLONES.

[Coldguy]

I shall not be able to attending, working that day, have fun guys.

I hope you can make it.

I'm definitely interested in getting some of that 8-bit stuff. I got my first 8-bit a couple weeks ago, so I am just starting out with it. Just don't let John Hardie get to before me. I also might be interested in R3/R4 and rarer 2600 carts. I really can't spend too much money though, I need to save some for MGC.

Hardie? At a NAVA? Thats just silly.

[ECMex86]

What system is SF4 going to be played on? I'm defenitely gonna be there!

[Dastardly Dylan]

What system is SF4 going to be played on? I'm defenitely gonna be there!

Most likely on the Microsoft Xbox 360 Computer Entertainment System.

[ECMex86]

You should post the info about the tournament on shoryuken.com. There are always tournament announcements there. There you can reach a huge community.

[Kid Ice]

Most likely on the Microsoft Xbox 360 Computer Entertainment System.

ugh, with that d-pad? How' bout a little PS3 love in the DP store? Or maybe someone will bring a joystick or a good controller.

[TonyTheTiger]

I'll bring my Mad Catz FightStick. If we can get one other then nobody will have to use the stock 360 controller.

I'm planning on bringing my Hori EX2, so don't worry about it.

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

That's awesome that it even has a toilet paper roll holder up there on the left...oh. Wait. That's the stick, isn't it? Forget I said anything. LOL

[Vectorman0]

I am also looking to pick up a couple original Atari 2600 power supplies. Ideally I would like to pay $15 or less for two of them.

I also may be bringing a composite/s-video modded 2600 console to sell/trade.

Tell me that "joystick" isn't an analog controller with a long white shaft attached to it.

I can also help you with that. I'll drop you a PM this weekend and we can set up the details. I should also know exactly what 8-bit I'm going to get rid of by then too.

[OMF2097]

I'm thinking about bringing my EX 2 Hori stick.

Also, looking for any Dreamcast (imports/domestic) titles.

Whatever you do, don't sell Robinson's Requiem!

That game is in my permanent collection.

I do have a full set of ESPN titles if anyone is interested though.

That's 3DO for you....hard ta find, hard ta sell.

[Hitman Tyler]

Well, I ended up winning the first round of Gamestops SFIV tournament that was in the store closest to me, and the second round is next Saturday, the same day as NAVA. However, it starts at 2 PM, so I'll definitely show up, I'm just not sure when.

Hey Dylan what exactly are you going to be selling?

[OMF2097]

Anyone have Coleco and Tomy mini arcade machines for sale? I've got the Tron game and I'm looking to build a collection.

[Dastardly Dylan]

Hey Dylan what exactly are you going to be selling?

Some 360 games including Gears of War The Expansion Pack (Gears 2) Guitar Hero 2&3 (game only) some other 360 stuff

a gamecube, and some other games, maybe a NES as well.

I want to say Scrimble owns at least one, if not more. I'm sure he'll be in to comment.

[Scrimble]

I do have a Pac-Man, but it's not for sale unfortunately. It's been in the family since it was new.

See you tomorrow.

[CX2K]

I'll be looking for Atari 8-bit stuff and a working Intellivision system.

If you have 'em, bring 'em.

John

[Goblin]

I've got my stuff packed. Hopefully someone is interested in a boxed Dreamcast collection, a boxed Lynx collection, a beautiful and perfectly working Turbo Express, and other assorted items.

What could you need, you are the 8-bit king? I've have a boxed complete copy of Avalon Hill's B-1 Bomber packed right now. They aren't packed since I was on the fence about selling them, but I have a complete copy of Computer War, and loose copies of Gyruss, Sub Commander, Squish 'Em, and Wizard of Wor. If there is interest and I have time in the morning I'll grab them.

[supergoldzero]

This has been longed delayed bit I got the photos I took at November's and December's NAVA as well as the photos I took from my own "ghetto" NAVA in January.

November: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2120764&id=26107746&l=7058e

December: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2120765&id=26107746&l=9d9d6

January: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2120766&id=26107746&l=82a90

Can't wait to see everybody this month!

[Vectorman0]

NAVA was great yesterday. Atari 8-bit was running pretty much the entire time. Next time, we should do an Archon tournament. (even though I know I have no chance at winning)

Yeah, I think the "old-timer's VIP lounge" in the basement worked out pretty good, let's keep doing that. As long as you guys come up for air and mingle for awhile, anyway. It's no fun for me if my best and oldest friends are downstairs while I'm upstairs.

Pictures coming soon.

[OMF2097]

NAVA was awesome as usual. I was really happy that I found both a Coleco Vision and an Agetec Dreamcast Controller this past weekend. Hopefully we could have a Coleco Vision set up again at the next NAVA.

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

Archon tournament? You boys are so lucky I don't live in New Jersey. LOL

[digitalpress]

Pictures added 03/03!

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

I didn't take a lot of photos, I really had my hands full. Regular customers + NAVA + tournament + experienced backup person leaving early + new person taking over at 5pm = Joe needs a better plan for March.

[kaedesdisciple]

Archon tournament? You boys are so lucky I don't live in New Jersey. LOL

Did someone say Archon tourney?

[supergoldzero]

Pictures from this month: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2122188&id=26107746&l=74000


NAVA was really fun like usual. I probably should of participated in the Street Fighter IV tournament but I chickened out.
