I am not shilling for AVGC, but if you are in the area (Parsippany, NJ) this weekend, I don't mind hanging out in the parking lot and talking TURBOB or whatever.

PM me for contact info. Email me. Anything. Goddammit.

:)

* If you **are** attending, then you MUST see me, if only to  awkwardly say "Hi...bye..."

I will snap at least a few photos and post them here. Promise.

POSSIBILITY: Grabbing food at diner Saturday night? Yes, that could happen. You don't need to attend AVGC to join us.

I was looking forward to checking this out again this year but, unfortunately, it doesn't look as if I will be able to make it. :/

Well, if you are in the area, don't hesitate to contact me...if only to grab a coffee or eat Doritos in the parking lot.

Thanks, I probably won't be but if I do wind up in the area I'll keep that in mind!

Esty I will be around later in the day. and What New Jorseyian says no to diner food?
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Spenoza: The wannabe masculinity just overwhelms.

I'll be there today and possibly Saturday.  I was too shy to say Hi last year.  I will try to not be so this year and say hi.

Awesome! There will be a table of PCE consoles+ Saturn Bomberman (10 chairs) in the corner of the vendor room. I will be at the table (PCE consoles) or playing MEGAZONE (arcade room). My goal is to beat MEGAZONE (I have little chance of doing so, but I've made it my mission in life).

I'll be there 10:30am-closing today.

Check your PM for contact info.

:)

I think I want to check out some of the silly YouTube folks who are presenting today, but every time I say that, I end up playing MEGAZONE instead.

Ninja_Spirit has been here at PCE table for 1-2 hours. We swapped out CDX for NEOGEO he brought.

Too short of a notice to come out this weekend (and far from the city!), but maybe next year. Turbo times are always fun times.

The Super Cassette Vision, on the other hand, was rightfully trounced, and isn't worth a fraction of what it costs on ebay. A neat oddity, but way to expensive to justify owning.

But it has a Lupin game.....

I never owned Lupin, but the games weren't the issues. It's the controller more than anything. I just hated the controller. The console itself was dubbed my wife "the microwave." Felt cheap and too toy-like, just like the controllers.

I did find the balloon effect when there's no game in it to be kind of cool, but that's about it.

And Astro Wars was too tough and not fun enough.

As I said, it's kind of neat to own, but wasn't worth keeping as a console proper.

I really enjoyed the quirky ASTRO WARS II... it was tough, but the enemies had some interesting behaviors and I like the "boss" battles.

I agree with the controllers, though. Crazy.
