NAVA Gamer's Meeting, September 26th: "Stimulus Package" NOW WITH PHOTOS!

[digitalpress]

NAVA = North Atlantic Videogame Aficionados. It's FREE, and YOU are invited to attend.

Previously at NAVA...

- There was much Sega Saturn love as a region-free system was in play all day long.
- MSX games got some play, as did Tatsunoku vs. Capcom on the Wii.
- A fighting game tournament featuring obscure Sega Saturn imports took center stage at 6.
- Many games and systems traded hands between attendees.
- Pictures and video tell it best:

In an effort to spark the economy (particularly our store's usual slumping fall sales), we're doing a little "stimulus" promotion. Beginning THIS Saturday, September 19th, you will receive one "ticket" for every $10 spent in the store. On Halloween night, we will draw LIVE at the store. Grand prize is a 60GB backwards-compatible PlayStation 3 system but there are many other prizes including a complete refurbished NES system with a nice stack of games, mystery boxes crammed full of goodies, and more. Start early, hang on to your tickets and prepare for our best giveaway to date.

Tournament: At 6pm we'll host the monthly tournament, tentatively planned to be Street Fighter IV for 360. Be at the store around 5 to sign up. This tournament is subject to change.

Prepare for a day and night of gaming, trading, and kibbitzing. It's NAVA time!

When: September 26th, noon to midnight.
Where: Digital Press Videogames: http://tinyurl.com/yscakm
What happens: Gaming, trading, tournaments, big prizes! Attendance is FREE. Half price for kids!
What can I bring?: Snacks, soda and beer are always appreciated. Cakes have been very popular as well.

For the first time in a while, I'll be going to this. It's been a while since I've been to a NAVA, and I can't wait to see everyone again, as well as some SF4 tournament. Any word on if there's going to be a fee to enter?

[digitalpress]

The only time there's a fee to NAVA members is when it's agreed upon by all and the proceeds are turned around to the winners. I only accept tournament money from "the public".

Ask me now how exactly how one becomes a NAVA member. I'm still working on that one.

[MonoTekETeA]

Word, SF4. I will be attending in that case.

[punkoffgirl]

I will be there to help stimulate the uh... oh.

[fergojisan]

Stimulating! I'm a keen student!

We may be bringing my niece there for a little bit, I'm not really sure what's happening yet. If we do go, she is going to be trying White Castle for the first time.

[Apollo]

If we do go, she is going to be trying White Castle for the first time.

I feel bad for her!

[GnawRadar]

Word, SF4. I will be attending in that case.

I will also be making my pilgrimage to NAVA representing the Next Level Videogames and South Jersey Classic Crew. I'm really excited for this and to enter the SF4 tournament.

Are there any traders that will be attending this meeting who knows or has any kinds of copies of any Resident Evil 2 beta's with the debug menu or anything about the rare Resident Evil 1.5 prototype? I'm attending this meeting for my very first time and was told that this is also the kind of place where I could meet people who could lead me in the right direction for these sorts of things. Thank you and hope to meet you all at the NAVA!

I am considering attending again... Anyone there interested on CV games? I can bring new copies of Sky Jaguar, Yie Ar Kung-Fu, Magical Tree, Road Fighter or Pac-Man Collection.
And doing its first ever public appearance will be the newest version of the Super Expansion Module for the ColecoVision with such exclusive games as Donkey Kong Arcade, Knightmare and Goonies.
Joe, do you know if John Hardie will be attending? There is something I would like to discuss with him about the next CGE. Or it would be you, not sure if you're still involved with the show...

I haven't heard "no" and John is usually present, though he missed a big gap of events earlier in the year. I'll touch base with him tomorrow to find out for sure.

[DKTheArcadeRat]

Does anyone have a 4GB or 8GB Memory Stick Pro Duo that they are looking to get rid of?

[Vectorman0]

I will be there.

I am looking to buy a PAL copy of Phantasy Star Online v.2 for Dreamcast. It's an odd request, but I have seen much crazier things change hands at NAVA. I may be willing to pick up a Gamecube version of PSO 1&2 as well, if the price was right.

I'll also have my eye out for DC, 2600, and Atari 8-bit stuff, as usual.

Definitely bring some of your games, especially the Pac-Man Collection. I can't afford all of them, but I should be able to get one. I also look forward to trying out DK Arcade any everything else you have.

[Dastardly Dylan]

I'll be there, sounds like it's gonna be a great time! and SFIV for the tourney makes it even better! I might join in on the fun!

Anyway, as usual I will be trying to sell some of my random stuff, mostly Xbox 360 to GC games I have to many of. I might bring my DVDs that are pretty much new that I don't need, TV Seasons of Heroes, The Simpsons, and Lost (not sure what season Lost is though, I'll double check). and maybe my Mega64 version 1 DVD, the Mega64 DVD is quite rare as this is the FIRST OFFICIAL one before the DVD got revamped with new features about a year later.

At a random request- I'm wondering if ANYONE has a Dreamcast AV Cable, I recently lost mine and I thought that the PS2 cables would work (siince I use my PS2's power cable in my Dreamcast). If anyone has that, it would be greatly appreciated!

[supergoldzero]

Would it be cool if I brought my Japanese PS2 with Pop'n Music again? If I can, rest assured, I will only play Pop'n on my smaller controller which makes next to no noise compared to the bigger one [which I can let other people play on]. I can also bring a good amount of descent Japanese PS1/PS2 games like Gunstar Hero Treasure Box, Fantasy Zone Collection, Metal Slug 3, Vib Ribbon, Keyboardmania, among others. Also, like I said in the previous NAVA thread, I got a PSP camera now so now I can take pictures and movies in color and compare and contrast them with my Game Boy Camera pictures/movies. Word!

Hey Joe, have you checked your private messages lately?

[Davedeadly]

I'll be stopping by tomorrow for sure. Last month i bought Endwar for ps3 and it came with a headset. Its funny cause i know that the kid who sold it to me had bought it at Target due to it being on clearance. Anyway, if anyone will be selling a DS or DS Lite, please PM me and let me know.
