VGS was fun (again).  This was my second one to attend.  Forum member Jordan (my sister) and I were there all day, and we went out to eat afterwards with the group.  See y'all at Octurbofest!

The only photo I captured over the weekend was Majors "powering up" with my celebratory Champagne for Mati & Ash.



Good times had by all, as always! Chicago traffic got us to Galloping Ghost a bit late but we stayed there until about 1 a.m. Show was a little smaller this year but the vending was good for the most part - Chris @ Windy Gaming came with a lot of good shit.

Thanks to Beamer for doing another checkup on my X68000 and for the compact flash SCSI reader! Check's in the mail soon.

Now on to Octurbofest (right?)

LOL.  I need to actually make it to one of these things too, get some young guys der.  this reminds me I have a ton of time of to take off still since I got screwed out of this last weekend . . . perhaps i need to book out he october event dates and pray grad school lets me have the time.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Windy aka CDamm...making that retro moneys!


Not dealer Chris, so who cares.


O"B"ey room


non obey room "A", so who cares.


My pick-ups and wins. SMS Rampage and Tetris DX have been on my short list for a good spell. There where some good deals on commons for sure, much like a flea or garage sale (no complaints there!)

Good times, good games and okay beer. Only had to wait 6 hours in the airport both ways, but well worth it. Glad to get up with obey ppls (Jag and Atari folks that do not follow the church of Turbo are dead to me). I'd like to personally thank Old Style for making Saturday even more enjoyable for me. Shout out to the crew that made it happen.

I finally got to get some time on Pyramid Plunder.

Thank you all for coming. Definitely one of the more memorable Turbo Fests we have ever had! I didn't manage to take a many pics but here are the ones that I have.


Here is a short video I took of a Battle Lode Runner Match
I will definitely let you guys know once we have a date finalized for Octurbofest. Stay tuned!

SignofZeta: What a quintessentially PCEFX thread. Someone complains about nothing, multiple Bible-length posts discussing who's a bigger a$$hole follow. You're both pretty big a$$holes. Let's call it a tie.
