Japanese for Fanatic is Otaku.

How about PCE Otaku Fest or something?

I like PCE Fanatics!

The wapanese use "otaku" to describe themselves, however most don't realize that otaku in Japan means you are very mentally unstable obsessive freak. Otaku in Japan are looked down upon and ridiculed.

Regardless of what we call it.

We should all wear Black T-shirts with our PCEngineFX names on it.

And take a big group photo. I want to meet everyone!

Keeping that theme in mind, how about "The Turbo-Mentally Unstable Obsessive Freak-apalooza"?

Hmm... That could work, that could work.

Hmm, how about ... "Turbo Grafx Fest 2007?"

It sounds good to me.

Definately going to be a bitch finding the best place for this to happen. I'm in FL (about 5 hours from Atlanta). Had fun helping out with NeoGeo cons back in the day. I'm more of a FX freak, but I could bring tons of Turbo/Laseractive stuff too. Blue Chicago Blues (in English) is a fantastic game!

PS. save a table for me..I'll send you a slightly used Keith Courage as a deposit!

I think a lot of us aren't going to be able to attend - like me for instance, who is a 7 hour drive north of the Montana border

Well the date and location have pretty much been decided.-

What?:TurboGrafxFest 2007(is that name ok?)
When?:June 9-10 2007
WHERE?:Olympia Resort & Conference Center in Oconomowoc, WI.(Just minutes from downtown Milwaukee!)
A part of?: The Midwest Gaming Classic 2007!

Now we just need to come up with ideas for events. Any ideas?

I think its obvious we could do some Bomberman tournaments, and maybe a Implode HighScore contest.

I am working on a website for announcements and events and other information, but in the meantime I created a TurboFest Forum here- so for those of you interested in being a part of TGF, or just want to chat about TGF or the Midwest Gaming Classic, feel free to sign up and post away!

I think Puyo Puyo and Asuka 120% would be good choices for events.

I thought we were using the name Turbo Fest

? Oh well, TurboGrafx Fest works just as well and more people will probably understand the name that way. Here are some of my ideas:

System set ups (obvisouly). Probably be best to use the four major systems: PC Engine, Turbo Grafx 16 , Duo and Express. Also might be a good idea to include the CD add-ons for PCE and TG16. I can supply hardware if needed.

The Big Games - You all know what these are. Gates, Lords, Dracula X, Bonk, etc... The popular titles.

The Rare/Expensive Games - Sapphire, Renny Blaster, Magical Chase and such to show off the Turbo's pricey side.

Bonk Mascots - Joking.

Demo set ups - Set ups showing off technical demos made by various PCE programmers from around the world. I think it would be neat.

Homebrew booth - This kind of ties in with demo set ups, but focuses more on what's going on with MindRec, Frozen Utopia, or anyone else making full games for the system.

Five player game set ups - Set ups including five player games like Dungen Explorer, Bombermans, Moto Roader, etc...

Spin off systems - SuperGrafx and PC-FX displays.

Also, I think it would be a good idea to use any games with a "caravan" mode in it for competition use. Soldier Blade, Spriggan, Star Parodia, or if anyone has/willing to supply, the rare caravan HuCards of games like Blazing Lazers and Final Soldier or whatever they were.

vestcoat · « **Reply #29 on:** September 03, 2006, 06:15:56 PM »

Yep, I will totally dork it up and come to this.
Here are some other ideas...

everyone should obviously bring any extra games they have or anything they might be willing to sell or trade.

It would be cool if we could find someone who worked at Hudson, NEC or Working Designs to speak or answer questions.

Maybe a showcase of Turbo games on the Wii.

I don't know anything about the Midwest Gaming Classic, but we should try to get as many vendors with TG16 and PCE stock as possible. It would be fun if TZD had a table. It's easy to order from them, but it's so much more fun to buy games in person.

A Soldier Blade tournament using the 2 or 5 minute mode.

Maybe some tables with Turbo games side by side with their versions on other systems...Outrun, Ghouls and Ghosts, Ys....probably not Golden Axe.

This would be a great place to play two-player games like Bomberman 93 on the Turbo Express. It's almost impossible to find a Turbo Link, let alone another person with a Turbo Express and another copy of the same game.
