I thought maybe it was xray, mad at Ninja Spirit for not buying one of his acrylic signs.

I didn't check this thread! I should have. :(

I spent a good amount of time by PCE tables, but I also was trying to beat Mega Zone all day, too.

So, 35-40% chance I saw you :)


I should have said hi on Saturday or Sunday but I don't know what anyone looks like.  I didn't want to be the weird dude going up to people asking if they were on the PCengineFX forums. 

It really was a great set up though, I spent a bunch of time there on Saturday and Sunday playing the Super Grafix and trying out Henshin Engine. 

Also awesome photos and write up on it all!


Of course, we understand.

There is a chance you might recognize some of us from the photos majors and I posted.

I am going to post this *stupid* picture of myself only because I was so surprised that a certain, mythical object was being displayed, on Sunday, right next to all the PCE tables...

In fact, when I first arrived on Sunday to say "Hi!" to the pcefx crew, I didn't even pay attention to the new table. "Who is this old guy, and what is he doing here?" I asked myself, my eyes never focusing on him or the items displayed on the table.

After a few minutes of blathering with majors and rob, I glanced at the old man and then my eyes LOCKED onto the CUROUS OBJECT resting in front of him...



I felt like a little kid holding that thing.

Yes, I have problems.

That old dude was really nice and it was fun talking to him. Also, I can't believe the prototype SNES CD was available for everyone to touch and hug. If you remember, it had been encased in plexiglass for its debut at a conference/convention in Hong Kong.

Anyway, if you saw the smiling idiot above, you saw me.

I was probably cursing at a certain arcade cab...

I'm right out in Flanders, small freaking world.  Though I swear NJ is like a secret haven for video gamers, and retro gamers specially it seems.

No, haven't heard of that one. What's the name?
Maybe I'll check it out thus weekend.
Yestercades is great. I think over 60 games in Somerville, byob past 9pm, and it's all free play, but u pay $9  per hour. They have a ton of consoles too.

It's called Morristown Game Vault.  They have a ton of games, and Pinball machines, only an NES or two hooked up.  Similar set up though that everything is set to freeplay, and its like 10 dollars an hour.
