My goodies I brought. The two pic's above is everything from my garage minus a gun game. Looks pretty nice all lined up.

I think the arcade area was 35,000sq/f with 250+ arcade cabs. The noise was pretty intense.

Console room had NO OBEY! I call it a failure. I brought my own Duo and PVM to play in my room so all was not lost.

There was some Core's and a boxed Shuttle, but this TG-16 did not last long in the dealers room. Some friends of mine picked up a good chunk of TG/PCE games.

Rest of the pictures.

Gaming and partying from noon Thursday to Sunday night, running 24 hours a day...THAT is how you do a con! Other that total lack of Turbo in the console room, another great MAGFest. I do not think I ran into any PCFX members, but did catch up with some shmups folks.

Wow!  Looks like an awesome time was had.

Looks fun, even without the OBEY.  Were any stray PC-FX goodies being sold?

P.S. - Fuck you, asshole!   <-- just so there's a reason for being on Fighting Street.

;)  - Looks like it was fun Majors, I'll share some pics of a far smaller show I'm helping with over this coming weekend that will no doubt have quite a bit more OBEY involved.

Did you catch the Yuzo Koshiro DJing show? How do those things work? Are they free for all as long as you've bought your way into the fest or does each event/panel sell their own tickets?

Also, how many vehicles did you take? How big is your garage? All of that wouldn't fit in the trunk of my Honda Civic, that's for sure.

what games were you running?

Hehe...I told 16-bit to price it at $300 just so I could take a pic of it but we decided that it might bite him in the ass later on.

I saw some of the show, Yuzo started with with the old school (Bare Knuckle, Revenge) then went into the Wangan Midnight stuff. Badge give you all access, you only pay for what you buy in the dealers room (Joe, you NEED to goto a con!). All my cabs fit in a box truck. I'm doing it again this weekend in Charlotte, NC for an anime con.

There are no cons that are economically feasible to travel to. Even the mid west thing isn't even in the midwest.  Just mid.
