Just a quick post about The 2009 Video Game Summit taking place in Lombard,IL
on july 18th,2009:
We are having two Challenge tournaments, one is a Atari 2600 challenge
and the other is the Atari Jagfest Challenge.

The Atari 2600 Challenge games will be: Phoenix and a two game tournament
featuring a hack of Activision’s Keystone Kapers called Laserman 2k3
which debuted in cart form at our 2005 show and a new game
that is currently a work in progress and done by scratch using a
complier called Batari Basic, and is a port of a game I did originally
did on the TI-99/4a called Laserman.

The Atari Jaguar Festival Challenge games will be: Tempest 2000
, Alien vs. Predator (as marine), and Gorf Classic.
Also if you have an Atari Jaguar and a way to network
(Jaglink (1 or 2), Catbox or homemade)
and any or all of the three following games:
Battlesphere, AirCars, or Doom.
Then you can participate in
the Atari Jaguar network gathering that will take place two
hours before the show closes.

Also, we will have a current world record holder who is
also our own tournament promoter, Paul “Zimmzamm” Zimmerman
, at the event.
At the 2009 Midwest Gaming Classic he got the new “unofficial”
world record for Phoenix with a final score of 1,124,779.
Since then, at home, he got an “unofficial” world record of 2,344,018.

The 2009 Video Game Summit will be the only place to witness his
attempt to beat his two scores and possibly make history as he
tries for the 3,000,000 mark.
If you register online will you will be allowed to witness his attempt
from the start (2 hours before the show starts!).
Plus you will get to see the other tournament games as well plus some others.
