exciting news for northeast gamers, and well, an idea for the rest of ya...
the next new england classic gamer's meet is coming up march 7th here in boston, and this time we're trying out a new contest. since people had so much fun with joustpong last time we're staging a big prize challenge. it works like this, to get in the contest each player has to ante up a game worth $8-14 bucks. all of those games will go into a box which will be the first place prize, 2nd place gets a 2600 ewok adventure and third gets a 5200 paddle controller. the contest will feature 7 games, with low scoring players to be weeded out as it goes along.
the games are to be picked by the select seven, that is our most hardcore members, one each with a mystery final game. we're taking games from all eras and platforms, games that are fun to watch and challenging. so that nobody shows up and gets blown out of the water we're annoucing the games ahead of time. we're also encouraging contestants to bring their own favorite controllers, no whining about my wico sticks please!
as for the ante part, i think $8-14 is bare min. to make it worth winning. it can be a piece of hardware, a loose uncommon game, a nice boxed game, a newer used game or even cash if you're really hurting for tradebait. i'm figuring on anywhere from 12-18 players so it'll really add up. while the ante part is up to you dont even think about showing up with 12 copies of super mario bros or a bare genny deck, we'll flog you with a CV power supply.
so without further ado, the annouced games thus far, do your homework to win big!
super monkey ball mini game MONKEY TARGET, gamecube
QUICK STEP, atari 2600
MORTAL KOMBAT 2, SNES
JOUST, atari 7800
3 more to come...and your hint on the final game
"a TRUE classic, created just across the river"
so if you live anywhere near boston, come on over and show your skills! NECG is open to all, just ask me or clubninja to get on our emailing list. in addition to the olympics we'll be doing our big buffet trademeet, beer slugging, dorito eating, game playing, trash talking, meet and greet kind of thing. the other three games should be annouced by monday evening, with another hint on the final game.
