NAVA = North Atlantic Videogame Aficionados. It's FREE, and YOU are invited to attend. Previously at NAVA...
- The tournament was "Typing of the Dead" and former DP employee Raj out-gunned (out-typed) all competition.
- Kid Ice brought his Air Raid game, complete in box. You really have to check out the pictures.
- The store's previous high score on Congo Bongo was smashed. Over 69,000 on a single quarter, using an 8-way joystick!
- Games and systems traded hands between attendees who brought their own trade boxes.
- Pictures tell it best:

The summer is almost upon us and we're ready to EXPLODE with anticipation. How ready? How about a whole day of explosive game competition. No really. Literally, games with lots of bomb action. We never do anything subtle around here.
For starters, This month's arcade high score challenge will be City Bomber. It's one of those games that you never hear about so I don't expect a lot of City Bomber masters turning up. However, you've got a few weeks to practice at the store or on MAME, and it really IS a fun game. It will be set up on FREE PLAY for the whole day at NAVA. The person who logs in the highest score by 8pm will get a $20 gift certificate for the Digital Press store and will be added to the new "house champion" tournament plaque on the Wall of Fame located just above the arcade section of the store. Get your practicing in now!
We hinted at getting a 10-player Saturn Bomberman game going last month, but this month we're gonna do it for real. If you've never played Saturn Bomberman with 9 other lunatics, you haven't lived. This will be set up all day long, with a climactic 6pm tournament to find who's the best at conquering complete chaos. In addition, we'll be running mini-tournaments for Kaboom! and Canyon Bomber, both great excuses to bust out an Atari 2600 and some paddles.
Get your trade boxes in order. Get your game face on. It's NAVA time!
When: Saturday, April 24th, noon to midnight.
