Turbo Fest (VGS) 2015
« on: May 12, 2015, 01:01:47 PM »
You heard the rumors, you saw the flyers, Turbo Fest is returning to Chicagoland!! The summertime classic is back with more fun and more games to play. Come take part in our exciting 5-player Battle Lode Runner and Bomberman 94 tourney matches. Then try to navigate the treacherous obstacles Dragon Spirit throws your way in this high scoring shooter tournament. 
 
Tournament times are as follows:
 
Battle Lode Runner: 11 AM
Bomberman 94: 1 PM
Dragon Spirit: 3 PM

The event will take place July 11th at a newer and bigger venue which is the Midwest Conference Center. The address is 401 W. Lake St. in Northlake,IL. Northlake is located a couple of miles west of Chicago. Turbo Fest is part of a retro-gaming convention called the Video Game Summit (VGS). The show, as well as Turbo Fest, will run from 10 AM-6 PM. There will be many people selling retro games and many other tournaments for other consoles as well. Arcades will also be present.
 
Admission is $10, but the price is well worth the admission. Entrance into our tournaments is 100% free. We would love to meet fellow T-16 enthusiasts such as yourselves. 

In comparison to MGC, the VGS is smaller. However, you will find that the gaming area is very spacious and can do a great job accommodating the awesomeness that is Turbo Fest. If you have any questions, please let me know.
 
Come spend the day with your PCEFX brethren.

Let's keep the good times rolling!

I also want to point out some of the cool things Chicago has to offer in terms of gaming.
First off, Galloping Ghost Arcade is an absolute MUST-SEE. It is technically the second largest arcade in the US, and comprised of mostly retro arcades. It has got some pretty obscure cabinets such as Galaga 88, Street Fighter 1 (Fighting Street), Splatterhouse and many more. Feast your eyes on the amazing cabinet list:

If you're in the mood for buying turbob games, you should check out the stores below. They have a decent selection of T-16 games.

Way to spin it.

Dat D. Spirit tourney...making me want to make the trek, so temping. Good thing I do not have to book my flight until 24 hours before hand.

Not liking the hotel situation...need to figure some transport and roomy.

Woo! Can't wait for this in the summer. MGC didn't quite work out for me but this should be no problem at all. I don't do much on Sundays, I'll start planning ahead. If you need any systems/controllers/tvs/etc. let me know. I'll be happy to help out in any way that I can.

In the meantime, I'll be practicing Dragon Spirit aplenty in hopes that my high score is somewhat substantial. :mrgreen:

Do you need any extra systems, controllers, everdrives, etc? I'd be willing to help out in any way necessary. Going to put in my request at work tomorrow (this is a written reminder for myself). Can't wait!

If you could bring a Duo and its cables, ED  and controllers it certainly wouldn't hurt.

I sure wish I could make it this year, but it's not in the books.  I hope you guys have a good turnout.
