September 2011 marks the 20 year anniversary of Digital Press. If you're only familiar with the store then you missed the organization's previous 14 years of history. Let some of the old-timers tell you the stories of publishing, conventions, and shenanigans. We'll be GIVING AWAY reproductions of the very first issue of Digital Press, published in September of 1991. We'll also launch the 71st issue of this now 20-year running 'zine, a 40-page extravaganza (available for just $3). We will set up the systems we were playing in September 1991 including Neo-Geo, Sega Genesis and yup, Atari 2600. Don't forget to check out the mini-museum in the back if you were unaware of this organization's rich history.
Tournament! Our very first issue of Digital Press featured our impressions of the brand new Neo-Geo game system. As such, we will be holding a Neo-Geo tournament at 6pm. Details will be revealed on game day but expect one of the early fighting games to take center stage. Sign up at 5pm, the tournament starts around 6 and is FREE to join.
Arcade challenge! Surely the most popular game of 1991 was Capcom's Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. So we're going to set it up on HARD and see who walks away with the highest score on the day. The person who logs in the highest score on our arcade cabinet by 8pm will get a $20 gift certificate for the Digital Press store and will be added to the "House Champion" tournament plaque on the Wall of Fame just above the arcade section of the store. Arcade challenge games are set to FREE PLAY all day. Get your practicing in now!
