WIN a FREE NEO GEO Advanced Entertainment System Set and XTRAS from The Old School Gamer!!!!

http://www.oldschoolgamer.ca/artpics/5-21.jpg



OSG wants to celebrate and promote Old School Gamer's home on the web, with a bang! What better way, than to give away one of the most sought after and legendary home game consoles ever created! Up for grabs, is a fully OSG upgraded NEO GEO Advanced Entertainment System. This fantastic prize is fully upgraded with an amazing feature set:


One NTSC NEO GEO Advanced Entertainment System featuring:
Ultra crisp, precision tuned S-Video Output with new surface mounted jack
Composite Video Output with new surface mounted jack
Stereo Output with new surface mounted jacks
"SNK Blue" power LED in concealed in reset button
Official Genuine Universe BIOS 2.0 BIOS eeprom, installed in a user upgradeable socket. This allows removal of all regional censorship, unlocking of hidden characters and features, Juke Box function, cheats, and more. It is the ultimate NEO GEO upgrade.

And to go with this fantastic specimen of gaming goodness:

One Original Style NEO GEO Controller
One OSG NEO GEO controller extension cord
Full set of AV cables to connect your sytem to your TV
NEO GEO PRO POW AC Adapter
One game- Samurai Shodown II, one of the finest fighting games ever made - in box to get you started playing *in style*
One Old School Gamer T-Shirt, to keep you gaming in style
And Finally, FREE insured, expedited shipping to you, wherever in the world you are!

And to top it all off, this system has been tested to work FULLY with the !Arcade! Phantom-1 Adapter (NOT included in this giveaway)! This means, that if the winner eventually purchases a Phantom-1, this NEO GEO AES can be used with the much more reasonably priced NEO GEO MVS cartridges, virtually glitch free. This is an example of one of the finest NEO GEO Advanced Entertainment Systems you could have, and a fine example of the kind of High quality, heavy attention to detail console work Old School Gamer prides itself on. A service by gamers, for gamers.

The gaming community has been very good to me, and it pleases me very much to be able to give something back in a big way. Overall, this prize is worth approximately $500CDN ($420USD) to the lucky winner. An interesting tidbit, is that out of all the 'Systems We Service" pages featured at OSG's website, the NEO GEO AES gets more visits than the PS2, the XBox, and the NES. The NEO GEO is the cream of the crop for classic gaming and collecting. Those who stay away due to expense, are still curious about this rare, powerful and expensive system, and still like to read about it's place in gaming history, at OSG's website. This is your chance to turn those daydreams into a reality.

See www.oldschoolgamer.ca for entry details

Entries will be accepted until May 12 2005. The Draw will be immediately held on May 13 2005. Only one entry per e-mail address will be accepted. Duplicated entries will all be deleted.

Thanks All! best of luck to all of you!

What about multiple entries from the same household? Me and my boyfriend would both love to have an AES, and while we have different email addresses, we live in the same house and share the same phone number. :P Heck, his brother who also lives with us would probably want to enter too. o_O

omnedon
04-06-2005, 12:41 AM
Put that in your e-mail (each of you). Both will be left in.

If I get too many like that, I'll stop allowing it tho. :) I want people to be able to enter and have a fair chance. If I feel there is abuse, I'll try to stop it.

It's supposed to be fun! :)

Use your ISP's SMTP server and not your domain's.. you'll never have this problem again. ;)

I entered a while ago.. I took a guess and said "knowing Omnedon, it's probably in the '??????' section" and I was right!

LOL

Yup, that's how I feel. I did win a free copy of an awful PC game called Cutthroats some years ago, but I was probably the only one who bothered to enter the drawing. And they never sent me the t-shirt I was supposed to get. Unfortunately, that is probably the only contest my karma will allow me to win in this lifetime.[/i]
