Photos from MWC this weekend

[Flare65]

Was at the Midwest Gaming Classic yesterday.  Met a few of the forum members while I was there....Braap, Chop, Dragon Master Dan, and the guy who came up from North Carolina....sorry I didn't catch your name, but it was great chatting with you!

It was a little early on Saturday when these were taken, but the room filled up in the afternoon.















The photo above is some kind of custom board that allows two Neo Geo Controllers to be used on a Duo/PC Engine.  I was told it was assembled the night before the convention.












Braap showed me this repro of Magical Chase while I was there.  A lot of love when into designing and creating it - a very high quality repro that anyone would love to have in their collection! 



I didn't catch the lady's name who was wearing this shirt, but she let me take a photo of it to share with all of you. 






This may be a little off topic, but they had that recently discovered Sony Super Nintendo CD system on display.  Got a few pics of that as well.





And below is the most expensive game that I saw in the vendor area.



Id say there was a stronger presence of PCE/Turbo games in the vendor area this year as opposed to last year.  Some of the games seemed to be priced a bit much...  Saw complete in case copies of Splatterhouse and Devils Crush going for $100.00 each.  A sealed Neutopia 2 going for $270.00.  I was hoping to find a used copy w/instructions while I was there.    I spent my money on other gaming stuff which I'll put in the recent pickups thread later on today.  Overall, I had a great time!

How much was the magical chase repro? And who sells it?

That repro looks better than the original.  I would say a million dollar

Thanks for the pictures flare.  I couldn't make it this year

I should have taken more photos of when the place was busy and the scores of the Tatsujen (sp?) tournament.  They were giving away a sealed PC Engine Air Zonk to the winner.  Dunno who won it.

Not sure what the repro of the Magical Chase would sell for or even if they will be offered for sale.  I'll let Braap comment on that.  The high quality of the case, insert, instructions, and HuCard blew me away.  The case looked like it was custom made for the HuCard.  The HuCard itself felt much heavier than an normal plastic HuCard.  I think it was made out of metal.

Nice pictures of the show Flare.

Also, last I knew Nullity was WAAAAAAAAY ahead in the Tatsujin contest.

$100 for a loose Mega Man cart?  Seriously?

That neo-geo to pc-engine adapter was my handy work. Programming for the cpld was completed the night before. I pulled an all-nighter and spent the rest of the time until 5 minutes before my flight to Milwaukee wiring and debugging the adapter. Right now, the switches toggle between 2-button and 6-button modes and are independent for each player. I am currently fielding suggestions as to how it should operate if I put it onto production. I was thinking of changing it to run in 3-button/6-button  mode for switch 1 (both players) and switch 2 will toggle between run and select for button III in 3-button mode.

I didn't know that Super Nintendo CD was there, would've liked to check it out.  I was with 2 friends who didn't give a shit about video games and I already brought them to Galloping Ghost on the way up, so I got dragged out of MGC too quickly.

I heard I missed you, Saibot, and Chop, I was pretty bummed!  Maybe in a year or two I will go back on my own to allow more time and do it right...

...if Beamer goes.

Nullity won that game and I won a sealed Bomberman for coming in 2nd place.

He's a puseee

I vote 6 button mode for arcade sticks using Neo Geo standards with the extra buttons added. Same pinout that Jammanationx uses. That would be handy. And that would be compatible with Neo still.

MGC this year was great.  Some of us remember everything that happened.  Some of us only remember some of it.  I didn't snap any pics but will have coverage of it on the youtube channel at some point.  Found myself hanging out in the Turbo Fest room quite a bit. 

I really enjoyed putting faces with usernames and especially enjoyed playing demos of PC Henshin and Catastrophy.  Can't wait to get my hands on them when they are finished.
