TurboFest Tour 2016 - First stop MGC on April 8th-10th!!

[majors]

Yes, hats(tris) off to Josh and crew for setting everything up. I really do enjoy imbibing while talking shop with fellow like minded obeyers. I usually to not intro myself since that would require the socially accepted response form the other person to tell me their name, that I'd just forget within two minutes. But, shout outs to everyone I met new and old last wknd.

Honestly, I'd have to say that this year's TurboFest (and MGC) will go down as my favorite gaming weekend so far!  It was super great to meet everyone that stopped by to say hello and game with us.  I actually got to play much more than in years past likely due to us setting up a day early this year.  So much less stress!!

I can't remember the names of all the cats that stopped by, but it was awesome to hang with you all! 

Here are some pics from the room and event winners!  Try to put some forumite names to some of these guys!

Some pics of the consoles set up all nice!!




My buddy Meng played Image Fight II almost half the weekend.



Crazy Mary returns!


Quan's pretty sweet Neo controller to PCE mod being tested all weekend!

There wasn't as much tinkering/modding work going on this year, but I am very thankful for Jodi adjusting my lasers on the PCFX and Duo for me!  They work so much better now!!

Overall, it was a truly legendary weekend and I look forward to more gatherings in the future!!

No joke. I'd like to get in on something like this. Anywhere on the east coast would be doable for me. Other places possible. Are there other meetings?

Our good friend Chany runs the TurboFest event at this year's upcoming Video Game Summit in July.  That is held in the Chicago area.

You go to MAGFest? Last year we started a museum area, with more focus on 8 and 16bit consoles and computers. Turbo representation might not be as large(we had 4 obey setups running last year) as Turbofest at MGC but we are getting a larger room for next year. I also bring a couple of turbob to Animazement. Retro section there is only about 18 setups, 2600 to PS1.
