Turbo Fest (VGS) 2012

Mathius · 06/01/2012, 11:35 PM

Chany, you going to need another Neo again? I have Viewpoint back <<<wink wink, nudge nudge>>>

I have a Turbo CD, Supergrafx, and Duo-R also available.

Is there any other systems you guys would want. I have a fully working Twin Famicom that may invoke some interest.

chany60126 · 06/02/2012, 12:40 AM

Yes! A Neo Geo AES would definitely come in handy again this year Mathius, and especially the Joe Redifer edition of Viewpoint.

I'll let you know if we need anthing else.

Thanks!

Haha! Done.

Everyone else coming to the show please be sure to bring anything you have for trade. I smell a small swap-meet brewing.

Flare65 · 06/05/2012, 11:23 PM

I'll be there for sure. I only live like 10 minutes from Lombard!

Kinda random, but a few pages back there was talk of a mid Atlantic turbo meet up. When are we gonna get that together?

If you don't mind, could you post in the local meetups thread or create a new one instead?

About a month away! Can't wait! Put my name down for the Battle Lode Runner tournament.

You'll do better than I did last year, I'm sure. Load Runner PCE isn't really my thing. I preferred the C64 version.

chany60126 · 06/10/2012, 08:50 PM

BLR is probably my favorite multiplayer game on the PCE game. The game is so easy to pick up and play. It is so cool to fall through a hole in the ground and reappear at the top.

Lode Runner on the PCE, no thanks. But Battle Lode Runner is a lot of fun IMO because of the multiplayer option.

I meant Battle Load Runner.

jeffhlewis · 06/11/2012, 02:06 PM

I'm in - probably taking the Friday prior off of work in case a group is going to hit up Chicago / Galloping Ghost.

I'm bringing some stuff to swap/trade - any need for people to bring consoles/games with for playing?

chany60126 · 06/11/2012, 02:13 PM

Hey Jeff, it was nice to meet you at MGC. I am glad to hear that you will be coming to the VGS as well.

As a matter of fact, we will be taking two groups of people from PCEFX to Galloping Ghost Arcade friday night. We should be arriving between 5-6 PM. The address of the arcade is in the second post of this thread.

Also make sure to join us for some deep dish pizza after the conclusion of the VGS saturday night:

Everyone is welcome to join us for these two get togethers as well.

jeffhlewis · 06/11/2012, 03:11 PM

Sounds awesome - G.G. is closer to me than Chicago so I'd probably just meet everyone there.

What are people doing for hotel on Friday night? staying in Lombard?

I think the Fairfield is sold out for that night. Not sure what other hotels are in the area.

chany60126 · 06/11/2012, 05:13 PM

There is also Comfort Suites that is kitty corner from the Fairfield Inn on North Avenue.

jeffhlewis · 06/11/2012, 05:41 PM

sweet - thanks for the tip. just booked friday night at the comfort suites.

ElSeven · 06/13/2012, 03:25 AM

hmm any chance we can bring back the R-Type tournament from 2 years ago??

I'll be there this year for sure, I was so bummed when last year didn't work out.

roflmao · 06/24/2012, 01:05 PM

My ticket has been purchased and hotel room has been reserved! I didn't run into any issues getting a room at the Fairfield. Can't wait to see y'all!

I'm sure you'd like that, champ. Maybe you could show us your mad skills in Side Arms as well.

Any update on this?

Is everyone meeting up to go to the arcade on Friday? If so, time and place or just meet at the arcade?

We have various plans to run around that day. I think the plan is to hit Galloping Ghosts sometime in the early evening, possibly around 6:00-7:30 PM. Unfortunately, none of these plans are firm just yet, especially as far as timing goes.

Flare65 · 07/02/2012, 10:43 PM

I'd like to join you all. Any final head count?

Not as of yet.

chany60126 · 07/03/2012, 02:22 PM

We would love for you to join us. If you're planning on joining us at arcade on Friday, it might be a good idea to let us know what you'll be wearing since we've never met you before. Don't forget about the pizza meet-up after the VGS on Saturday.

chany60126 · 07/07/2012, 03:14 PM

1 week before the show. See you guys there!

Flare65 · 07/07/2012, 04:29 PM

What time on Friday for Galloping Ghost?

Mathius · 07/07/2012, 07:24 PM

We are all meeting up at 10:30 am at the convention center. It will be an all day road trip with Galloping Ghosts being at the end.

chany60126 · 07/07/2012, 10:55 PM

Flare, we have various things planned during the day on Friday. But our estimated time of arrival is between 5:30 and 6:00 PM at Galloping Ghost.

Flare65 · 07/08/2012, 12:57 AM

I'll see if I can get out of work early that day. I do have Saturday open for sure.

tggodfrey · 07/09/2012, 07:04 AM

What are your guys plans on Friday?

roflmao · 07/09/2012, 08:32 AM

I'll be driving most of Friday (I think I'm looking at something like 9 hours that day) but I hope to at least meet up with y'all at the Galloping Ghost.

I am far too excited about this.

Hey Terry, the plan is for all of us to meet up at Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield friday evening around 5:30-6:00. In case you haven't heard, this is the largest arcade in Illinois. They have an amazing assortment of cabs from the 70's, 80's and 90's.

Ah, that'll be after my trip to the windy city.

Boy, this is the month for meeting up with pcefxers for me! Lilgrafx, I need to hit you up with a PM too to see if you can meet up when I head through VA. It looks like I'll be a lot closer to Bernie, but maybe we can work something out.

Argh. Sorry for hijacking the thread. Please resume regularly scheduled Turbo Talk!

EDIT: I just made a t-shirt with my avatar image on it (big) to wear during Turbo Fest. Aside from being slightly askew, it looks pretty good!

BlueBMW · 07/11/2012, 07:15 PM

Haha! I love it. Sadly, I have no good gaming related shirts or anything to wear

Wear the coveralls from your old avatar pic.

turbokon · 07/12/2012, 10:19 AM

Too late for me this year but I plan on making it next year. Already talk to the wife about it.

jeffhlewis · 07/12/2012, 11:10 AM

I'm bringing some spare games and such to trade/sell - I've got a couple SMS rares to unload (King's Quest, Golden Axe Warrior cart, R.C. Pro Am) if anyone is so inclined.

I've also gotten my completed order in for the Outrun t-shirts I made with an artist from the U.K. (pic below). I've got M-L-XL if anybody wants one - we're selling them at cost pretty much ($20). It's a seven color professional screen print on an American Apparel tee. We went all out for quality's sake.

chany60126 · 07/12/2012, 11:12 AM

Very nice shirts Jeff! I may pick one up if I'm not broke after the show.

Arkhan Asylum · 07/12/2012, 11:14 AM

If I mail out a shitload of the flyers for Aetherbyte to one of you, ythink they'd get to you by Saturday to take to the show?

I probably should have thought of this sooner, since i have that HUGE STACK OF THEM.

fuck!

Mathius · 07/12/2012, 11:23 AM

Not likely, Ark.

You would have to Overnight them.

Yeah there's no way they will get here in time unless you overnight them so they get to me tomorrow. I would be happy to distribute the flyers for you. Let me know if you want to overnight them so I can PM you my address.

Arkhan Asylum · 07/12/2012, 11:31 AM

PM that address brobro

I can at least try to. I won't be home til like 7pm though.

but there is a 24 hour post office drop off doodler box by my house.

Pretty sure that won't work though. They'd be picked up Friday and arrive saturday.

how far do you live from VGS?
