[_joshuaTurbo]

The Midwest Gaming Classic is just around the corner. April 8th-10th.
https://www.midwestgamingclassic.com/

TurboFest is an all OBEY event that runs from Friday night @6pm until Sunday night!!  We have the Turbobbers running almost the entire weekend (usually doors locked around 3am-6am) playing all the coolest games and systems known to man!!

And this year we have a special announcement!!-

TurboFest MGC '16- High Score Challenge!! -Will probably take place late afternoon on Saturday April 9th. But that could change to Sunday. You wont know what game you will be playing until the contest starts. First place will get their choice of a sealed New Adventure Island or Air Zonk for PC Engine. Second place will get to choose from the remaining game...or sealed Bomberman. Third place will get the last game left over.  Games for the tournament will be announced at the show, but any requests can be made in this thread!!  The pictured prizes below have been donated by our very own forumite - brrap!!


We also want to mention that if you're able to attend and want to hang out in the Turbo Room, we're looking for a few people to bring systems (TG, PCE, SGX, PC-FX) and some CRT TVs for the show.  We're thinking we'll be able to fit 8 stations so if anyone would like to bring their system sets we'd love to have the help!! 

If you can bring some OBEY to the show, please let either myself or Jodi (brrap) know via PM or commenting here. 

Thanks guys!!

Hope to see many of you at the show!!!

Very nice! Wish I could get out to one of these... maybe one day I will organize an event for Maine, and both of us will show up! (assuming there's at least one other out here)

Wait, what? Hipster Pokémon SNERDs are old enough to drink?

Josh, I can pack a Duo, Beefcase or Shuttle if it helps. Tho, my ROM-ROM is acting up.

Hey dude!  That's awesome!  Thank you!!

So far we're in need of about 4 more TVs.  Anyone else coming that would like to contribute their console/TVs to the room?

There is a 85% chance I am there on Saturday only.

Hardcaw Cru! Good to hear from you, man!

Hard for me to follow up to that. I'm working out the logistics right now, in the same boat as nullity.

And yes, PretendoAge Was drinking Miller light all night, whilst the finest Midwestern microbrews were featured in the PC Engine bathtub.

Josh, I will bring the Tiny 8" Funai and 2 Duos + controllers/hookups if I make it. Going to be short on games, though so probably Xanadu, Mysterious Song (2 HOUR SPEEDRUN FTW), and The Addams Family.

I wish I could come. I have a pair of Commodore 1702 and a 1804 that could be used for gaming displays.
