I help with Rick with this show, this one is going to be better all around. Also, I intend to help run an N64 tourney with some fun added. I look forward to this show being a good one, with lots of great deals as usual. For anyone who wants to go to a great show in the Northwest, this video game show is a hard one to beat.

I might be selling my stuff there. I am not sure yet. Though I have a lot of stuff in my room that I need to get rid of.Though the Nintendo 64 tourney is worth going for me.

I will definitely be there. Are the booths going to be about the same size as the ones we had at jet city retro?

Just don't bring what's his name. I wanted to bludgeon him by the end of the day.

Don't worry, I already did.

Ok, not really. But seriously I won't.

[Matt Antonellis]

Awesome, thanks for keeping us up to date, Rick.
I'll definitely be there, and hopefully manage to bring some friends/family again.
Have you started advertising yet, and if you need some help, let me know.

Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to issue a challenge to all people participating in NWCGE Portland '08:

I, Matt Antonellis, challenge anyone to beat me in the NES tournament this year.
In Seattle at Jet City Retro, I went undefeated, and boasted a final score of 197,000 in the finals (Nintendo World Championship '90 cart).
If you're considering participating in this year's NES tournament, you'll need to practice.

If I can find a suitable trophy/prize, I'll offer it up to whomever takes the title from me.

I'll definitely be there, and I'll probably be bringing some friends along.

I've attended the past two NWCGE shows held in the Portland area (2K7 and 2K6-Vancouver). I had fun, met some nice people, and got some great deals, and I'm looking forward to doing it again!

(I wonder if John and I will wind up wearing Donkey Kong shirts on the same day again...)

You are one of the nicest people on these boards, and I appreciate your kind words. You are always welcome at our shows, and as usual, we will have some serious deals. I look forward to helping put on the N64 tourney...as I thought we could mix it up this year. We will hold our Atari 2600 tourney as usual...

as for Matt Antonellis, we could use any advertising help that we could get...

[Matt Antonellis]

Crap, there goes my winning streak. I suck at Smash Bros., Mario Kart, GoldenEye, and any other competitive N64 games.

However, I still challenge anyone to beat my score on the Nintendo World Championship '90 cart. I've been practicing and managed to bump my score up to 263,000.

[swlovinist]

Have you tried going for the Twin Galxies Record? Now that would be bragging rights....

Thanks John! I like the idea of an N64 tournament, hopefully it'll include one or more of the system's superb racing titles. Hopefully I'll do better in the N64 tournament than I did in the Goldeneye tournament at NWCGE 2K6 Vancouver (I fell behind pretty quickly in the first round, but had fun trying to make a comeback).
