the idea.

with portable system of choice.

HIGHLIGHTS: Big screen 4-player Dreamcast madness! Big
screen emulation craziness! MAME arcade nuttiness!
Shooting gallery insanity! Shuffle bowling wackiness!
2-player Vectrex bedlam (hee hee)! Classic console

Burgers n’ dogs mayhem!

I believe this is still going on for all that are interested, I am making a great effort to make it!

I'll be there.

Of course, last night I busted out my MAME discs and loaded up DK Jr. to prep for the contest.

Last time, I prepped for about a week on Burgertime. I remembered Burgertime as a game that was a little bit fun, but not terrific. I had enough fun practicing though, and nearly took the prize. (And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that meddling Dave!)

So, this week it's Donkey Kong, Jr. I remember DK Jr the same way - a so-so game, not bad, not great. Once I got MAME installed, remembered the command line syntax to get it going, and copied the ROM to my drive, I loaded it up and plugged in 15 credits. By the second or third game, I was bored, and hadn't even completed the first screen. After five or 6 games I'd made it to the second screen once and my high score was almost 5000. I was still very bored.

I think I gave up after 7 or 8 games. I loaded up Rally X and played that for about an hour.

I'll give it a whirl this weekend, but last night with my CX-40 and laptop are probably going to end up being more time spent with the game than I'll spend on it again.

BTW, to anybody else going this weekend - I'm looking for a working Genesis 2, in case you're aching to unload one.

Noah-

I believe I can have a Working Genny 2 arranged for you...

I will be coming with a rather large trade box full of everything from TI games to Nintendo DS games.

If anyone is looking for any large like Noah (Systems, accessories, etc) Let me know in advance! Check my Collection in my signature at the bottom!

Looking for:

Cash.
Nintendo DS Stuff. <<---Big want
Gameboy Advance Games
XBOX / PS2 / Gamecube Exclusive games
Uncommon SNES / Genny / NES games
Gain Ground Complete for Sega Genesis

UPDATE

-If you didn't get an e-mail invite, PM me with your e-mail address and I will forward the directions. We love to have newcomers...that means new trades :)

-Speaking of trades, I have a bunch of stuff that I was about to put on ebay that I will hold onto for the event. This includes 90% of my Saturn collection (I'm getting out of the Saturn business). I also have a big pile of free stuff...yeah it's junk, but it's *free* junk.

-As Steve mentioned there will be a Donkey Kong Jr. contest. Highest score on the MAME box by 10:00 wins a Supercade book.

-Since a couple of you asked, the house is pet free and smoke free (although I will gladly join you for a smoke on the back deck). Bring your own beverage, I usually provide pizza but if it's a nice enough day I'll pick up burgers and dogs for the grill. Adults only.

-If you have any good multiplayer Dreamcast or Gamecube games, bring them along. I've set up a rather interesting 4-player DC area. Also, I'm on the lookout for Bomberman Online if anyone has one to bring along (or sell or trade).

-If you've been thinking about coming, come to this one! The fall schedule already looks pretty packed, it might be a while before I have another one of these.

I had a great time last night, thanks everyone for coming over. My throat still hurts from laughing at that "game".

Turns out there is a "nude code" for Plumbers Don't Wear Ties... and the max score is -170,000.


That's right, NEGATIVE 170,000!

Thanks for the invite, hope to do it again soon.
