Well, for Turbofest we start setting up tomorrow morning at 8:30. There is a lot going on now with Pinball, Arcade, Jagfest, and 80s computers being set up. A lot of vendors are here too.

JoshTurboTrollX · 03/26/2011, 08:14 AM

ran into Majors and Mathius last night. Sorry I didn't have chance to chat Matt!!

I came back down to the bar looking around for you.....

Anyway, I'm up early- Turbob Fest is set up right outside the Museum in the hall, I'm still trying to figure out how to use the projector, meaning I don't know if we've got the space for it... :C

COME DOWN and lets play!

Tatsujin · 03/26/2011, 08:18 AM

I second Tat's request. Take some decent photos.

Videos... I don't care about as much

BlueBMW · 03/26/2011, 11:51 AM

Mathius · 03/26/2011, 02:04 PM

Thanks for the pics.

Tats adds,"Please do share more pics." He was too shy to post that himself, apparently.

BlueBMW · 03/26/2011, 04:43 PM

Man wish you all could be here. We're having a blast!!!

Nice to meet you and everyone else. My friend whom I brought with me had some other things to attend to so I left around 3:00 Saturday. I hope the rest of the evening goes well and hopefully I'll see you all at VGS in July.

hizaygizirlz · 03/27/2011, 02:58 AM

Nice to meet you all. It was packed! I wonder what the attendance numbers over the two days will be? I overspent. I picked up:

Hit the Ice
Tiger Road
Champions Forever Boxing
Shockman w/ outer box
Samurai Ghost
Dungeon Explorer (sealed)

Hit the Ice NES Repro

Gargoyle's Quest (gameboy) (box + book) no game

Some Japanese Basketball Game for Saturn From TV Animation Slam Dunk I love Basketball?

Castlevania Chronicles (PSOne)

Warriors of the Eternal Sun (Genesis)

Resident Evil (Saturn)
Bomberman (Saturn) I overspent on this one, I made to many passes through the merchandise room and it caught my eye

I should have picked up Somer Assault, but i decided not to and ended up getting to Bomberman instead, Oh well. I bet if it wasn't so packed and i really looked at everything I would have spent more, but i didn't even really bother w/ NES and SNES stuff.

My friend beat me 17-14 in Hit the Ice, then I beat him 25-22. Next we boxed on CFB and I don't think we will be doing that again but i won. and Lastly i passed the first level of Tiger Road, but i was to tired to continue.

All in all it was a fun day for me and there was some nice stuff at decent prices. Working 2nd shift I couldn't tell you the last time i was up at 7am, but I had alot of fun. Everytime i walked by the Turbo Fest i forgot there was a projector on the back wall and I was ruining someones game. Eventually it would blind me so I had to move.

Nagoyan · 03/27/2011, 01:55 PM

It was nice meeting you guys! I didn't see this thread before I went to the show, but as soon as I saw Air Zonk running on a TV in the hallway I knew I was in Turbo territory. That was a really cool exhibit you had there and I hope it has shown lots of people what gaming on the Turbo/PC Engine is all about.

I found a lot of interesting stuff at the vendor hall this year, especially at the table run by the Japanese guys in the corner. They had plenty of good deals on Super Famicom carts and had some PC Engine cards too, plus the copy they had of Policenauts for the PC-9821 definitely caught my eye but I had to pass on that one.

blueraven · 03/27/2011, 02:24 PM

Dang, I already have buyers remorse for not getting a plane ticket.

esteban · 03/27/2011, 02:40 PM

Wish I was there.

turbogrfxfan · 03/27/2011, 05:31 PM

Such a amazing time!!!! Met all the peeps,everyone was awesome. 9ant wait to do it next year. Its going to be bigger and better!! Got some great games and played tons as well

Duo_R · 03/27/2011, 05:43 PM

Someone pick up a cheap famicom game for me....aww shoot probably too late.

nectarsis · 03/27/2011, 05:55 PM

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Had a blast with some cool peeps (even with having that bastard ts there

)

Looking at Mathius's pics...I SWEAR his old lady DID have eyes at the show

blueraven · 03/27/2011, 05:57 PM

There WILL be TURBOB shirts (and maybe sweatshirts) + MUCH MUCH more next year ;)

VestCunt · 03/27/2011, 08:17 PM

Thanks for the pictures so far. I'm going to seriously try to get there next year. It would be a nice motorcycle trip from Minneapolis if it was in the Summer.
What's the VGS?

The VGS is short for the Video Game Summit. It is a retro gaming convention that is taking place on July 16th just outside of Chicago. We will witness the return of Turbo Fest!! I will make a posting about this event sometime during April. I didn't want to overshadow the awesomeness of MGC.

The VGS is smaller than MGC, but they have a great gaming area with ample space.

Opethian · 03/27/2011, 09:09 PM

JoshTurboTrollX · 03/27/2011, 09:44 PM

Mathius · 03/27/2011, 10:31 PM

To those who didn't make it you guys GOTTA make it next year! I will post more pics and stories after I relax a bit.
