Saturday night screening with Bill Carlton after? Sweet! I'm excited. This year should be great. I hope I can make it.

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

Oh, and we checked TG records at Jet City Retro this year, and there was no record in their database as of yet. I'm thinking I'll be the first person to submit one.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to do this as of yet because whenever I try to access the site, it's either horribly laggy, exceeded monthly bandwidth, or some such.

I would tape a playing and send it in. I hope you can make our show, and spread the word to others that might be interested!

Man-oh-man, I wish I had found out about this expo a few years ago! Anyway, I'm reaaaaally looking forward to going! One question: is there a lot 'free play' going on? Meaning, will there be lots of consoles hooked up for people to play? Do we bring our own? What's up?

[coreys429]

I think there will be free play at some of the booths at least. I know I am going to have a lot of my systems hooked up so people can test before buying...plus when bored I have something to do.

[Eric Dude]

Hmmm, sounds good. I might bring some consoles just in case.

That said, I am putting out an open challenge to anybody and everybody at SF2 Turbo and NBA Jam on the SNES. I truly feel like I am nigh unbeatable at these games; it's time to find out.

many of the vendors will have 1 system set up, we'll also have 6 or so systems set up in the back for people to play games. atari 2600, NES/SNES, N64, vectrex, VB...ect

Thanks for the info guys!

Lol, actually a friend of mine gave it to me in a trade, but I am willing to test a ROB or Bubble Bobble 2.

Sounds like a good plan. Are you bringing mike with you?

[coreys429]

Yeah he's coming with me, *looks around* though I am dedicated for staying at my booth to sell what I have.

I'm open to some NBA Jam. Speaking of which, there was a tournament for the Genesis version at NWCGE 2K6 Vancouver.

[coreys429]

I am thinking about doing a Tetris High score challenge. I am addicted to this game already.
