Octurbofest 2014: 25th Anniversary Celebration: October 18th
« on: August 23, 2014, 03:27:43 AM »
The Video Game Summit was a blast. It was nice seeing familiar faces as well as new ones. But why wait until MGC for another turbo gathering??

That's right, Turbo Fest is back, but this time with thrills and chills! Behold: Octurbofest!! Back for its third straight year, we will be rocking it out at the best and largest arcade in the Midwest, Galloping Ghost Arcade. This year is especially important as we will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Turbografx's release in North America!!

Admission to Octurbofest is $5. Upon entering the establishment, ask for Octurbofest, and they’ll point you in the right direction.  If you want access to the arcade it’s an additional $15, but all the machines are set to free play and you can stay as long as you want. The event will take place on October 18th. The address of the arcade is 9415 Ogden Avenue in Brookfield, IL which is only a few miles away from Chicago. The show will start at 12 PM and end at 7 PM.

Come experience some of the best games on CD and hu card, including the Super Grafx and many more. And of course, no Turbo Fest is complete without the fun 5-player Battle Lode Runner and Bomberman 94 matches. Plenty of turbo/pce systems will be available for play.

Here is a video which featured an epic 20 player Sonic Spike tourney:

Come join us for an obey filled day of fun.

Let’s keep the good times rolling!

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.

I will try to make it but no promises. This is only a couple of months after I arrive in SC and it will be quite a trip but I will try. If not, I'll see y'all at MGC'15. :D

If Old_Rover tries, I gotta try. But I think I have a conflict already, sadly (I gotta confirm).

Just the type of question a product of the New Jersey school system would ask.  :P

Geography, we ain't got time for that!

I may wait for another time, but who knows, MF may show up to this. Seems like a good place to rip open a sealed game and toss it's contents about.

After missing VGS, definitely going to try and make this one. I need my arcade fix for the year.

Need to run through the schedule again to make sure I'm clear but otherwise count me in.

If I make it, I am going to open a sealed game, then toss the card one way, and the box the other. Free for whomever. Can't toss the case, though. That would shatter. I gotta have some sense.
