So, I was browsing the forum, trying to see if there are any meetup posts, i.e. about playing some games together...
But, alas, I did not find said things.
Anyone into playing games together?

Alex as you already know, there are many of us in our area... Don't forget about the VGS in July too!

Sadly, I don't think there are many folks in these parts ;(
There's always the Midwest Gaming Classic in March. That is coming up pretty soon.
I hear turbo will be represented well this year.
About a year or 2 ago, someone (forgot the member's name) from the Boston area had a meetup. I felt awkward about driving 90 minutes to play video games with strangers but kinda regretted it afterwards since he posted photos and it looked like a good time. I don't think there are too many other members from my area but I might have to go to the Midwest Gaming Classic one of these times.

Actually, I did once meet up with someone whose online name totally escapes me, but I met him on the old Yahoo Turbo Grafx club. I think his real name was Art Agreesior or something like that, though it's been years since I've heard or seen him.
Western Burbs of Chicago here.
cleveland meets up every june at ccag to laugh at the sega fans.

You must be talking about bust3d. I think he was having a bbq and game thing. Man I wish I could've gone to that, but a 19 hour drive is kinda long.
Retro Gaming Convention meets up every September in Portland Oregon, but then again, its a little bit of everything.

I live in Wyoming. It might as well be Mongolia as far as my chances of going to gaming conventions or meetups are concerned. ](*,)

What part of Wyoming? Colorado isn't
that far. :D
I live in Laramie. True, Colorado isn't very far, but I don't know of anything to do there, except visit the used game store in Ft. Collins. If you're willing to suggest something, I'd be very happy to listen.
I wouldn't mind having a CO gathering. I know there are a few of us that are members, and I never get a chance to properly geek out about TG/PCE. Even store managers in "retro" stores stare at me like I'm crazy when I mention anything TG related. I'd love to have some Bomberman tournaments, or play through some DE, or whatever.
Cool; if anything like that is set up, let me know. I'd definitely try to make it. :)

Cleveland here, Cept for the ccag their ain't much goings on here.
Bernie are you in VA like Lilgrafx? I believe Ninja Spirit is also from Virginia. I'm here in Wilmington, NC. Not to far from Virginia.
Wow that's pretty awesome didn't realize so many peple were in the mid-atlantic I live right on the border of Virginia so NC quite close
I'm in Fayetteville, NC. I'd be up for a meetup.
Great responses!
I am from the CHI, so I know about the VGS, and the MGC, and I will most likely be there..
I was wondering about informal casual encounters, or just a few dudes hanging out... Nothing weird, you know just gaming... maybe a 5-some....
(I seem to remember proposing a turbo grafx dating something or other, but it didn't go very far)
Maybe we can make a stickie (sorry), for regional monthly hang outs or something?
lol
NYC/Brooklyn.
Be forewarned... I'm terrible at video games but I love them and don't mind watching if my ineptitude becomes a drag.
Kinda far i am near Sacramento

If Wyoming is Mongolia, I live in Mars because I'm from Spain. No conventions, no forums dedicated (obviously) and no one with a TG...
Beat that! :wink:
Forsyth County, NC.
Anyone in the triad, Stokes, Davidson, Rowan or Davie Counties?
BT is near Durham, right? Think he would be interested?
Wish there was some more Floridians on here. I host game days with some of my local friends all the time. We have a blast and usually have my cab, pvm monitor and TV all going at once

I'm game as well, I'm down in Colorado Springs so I'm only like an hour from you Sadler. Gotta do a meetup sometime and maybe get the Joe the Red to show up as well.
BTW-Denver looks like hell today. We've got snow, but it looks like a full out blizzard in Denver.

Sweet man, that'd be awesome! :D Maybe when the weather gets a little nicer we can do a BBQ or something. I'd be happy to host.
As far as the blizzard goes, yeah it's pretty nasty where I'm at. Not sure how it is farther north, but Highlands Ranch is getting slammed right now and supposedly it's going to keep up for another 12 hours! :shock: There's seriously some guy riding around my cul de sac right now on a snow mobile. :D Guess that means I've got no choice but to get my turbo on :D

That's me out there. I'm waiting for you to get lost in your gaming experience so, I can sneak in and snag your collection.

:cry: makes me so sad. I LOVE snow. Yet I'm stuck here in Tennessee where its a balmy 60 degrees... Maybe I need to just bite the bullet and move back to Denver...
Also, if you guys plan something in June I'll be out there visiting (cant remember the exact date) and I'd be game for a meetup :P

am always up for a meetup. just give me a call when you're nearby :)
Anybody else near Wichita, ks? Would love to meet up and play some turbo's. I only meet one other person here whose into pc-engine but haven't ask him to meet up. I think it would be gay just asking a stranger if his wants to basically go on a turbo grafx date, heheh:)

I think he is too scared to ask you to go on said turbo grafx date. You should make the first move.
I'm in southern Maine if anyone in the area is a turbo/pce fan. Anyone? *crickets*

That sounds great but, unfortunately I only have the ten toes transport right now.
It would be nice if there were some kind of shuttle bus that would go around picking up gamers to take to gatherings and conventions.

Ha! I'll be camping in the mid-coast this July. Boothbay area. Family and friends love biking on the coast and seeing the lighthouses and stuff.
Not sure if I'd be able to make any time for TG-16, but there's always a slim chance :)

Wow thats awesome! :) I'm in Wiscasset, which is 10-30 mins from Boothbay, depending on how far into Boothbay you go. Traffic in July can be a nightmare over here. Don't know if you've visited the area before, but hope you guys have a good time! I'll have some 2 Player Monster Lair waiting for ya if you make it over ;)
And that is how this thread should work!

Ha! We go every year. I used to go further north (Bar Harbor, Acadia, Bangor, Canada), but this is plenty north for me, now.
Sounds like we are going to have to play some Monster Lair! :)

Heck yes. Gorgeous. Well, Bangor isn't nearly as gorgeous. I prefer the coastal areas. :)
Agreed, Been to Bangor once and that was enough for me. The coast is nice, farther north you go the more backwoods/redneck/deliverance you get. Towns and roads don't have names the closer to Canada you are :P.

No way.
I have a summer house in Woolwich on the Sasanoa River. I try to get out there every summer, but I miss some years (like last year). You're like, my neighbor.
I wasn't aware that a TG-16 or a PCE existed anywhere in the state!

The Video Game Summit takes place at 665 W. North Ave at the Heron Point Convention Center in Lombard (at the corner of North and Rohlwing Rd). More details will come! I will make sure it gets its own dedicated thread sometime after MGC.

Haha yeah there really isn't! I only knew one kid who had a TG-16 wen I was growing up, and I don't think he bought it in state. My other friends would make fun of me (or have no idea what I was talking about) when I said the Duo looked like a pretty cool system. Thats awesome you have a place in Maine, maybe we'll all meet up someday :) I'm actually hoping to move to Woolwich soon, its a pretty nice little town and I need to get away from traffic on route 1 in Wiscasset before summer.
Ok, so we are meeting at Nat's summer house when exactly? I have to put it in my calender.
