Turbo-Fest 2010

[chany60126]

Hey Guys,

for all of those who live near the Chicagoland area, I coridially invite you all to an event that I will be hosting called Turbo-Fest. We will have dozens of T-16 games available for free play. Best of all, there will be T-16/PC Engine tournaments throughout. The featured games will be Battle Lode Runner, Bomberman 94 and R-Type. The winner of each tournament not only gets to take home a Turbo-Fest t-shirt, but also a copy of Chris Bucci's Turbo Views that he generously donated to us. It would be great if you guys could make it. Here is our site.

The event will take place July 17th in Lombard, IL at the Heron Point Convention Center. The address is 665 W. North Ave in Lombard. It is in the same parking zone as the Fairfield Inn. Turbo Fest is part of a retro-gaming convention called the Video Game Summit. There will be many people selling retro games and many other tournaments for other consoles as well. Arcades will also be present. This is the website to the Video Game Summit.

Admission is $3, but the price is well worth the admission. Entrance into our tournaments is 100% free. There is no profit in it for us as we don't make a dime off of this. We are just trying to share our passion for this system. We would love to meet fellow T-16 enthusiasts such as yourselves.

I know I am posting this in the wrong thread, but I just couldn't resist. I am very enthusiastic about this event. If you have any questions, please let me know.

I've gone to the Video Game Summit the past few years, this year will be no exception.

I have 100 hours of vacation time. I might have just found something to use some of those hours on.

It's a Saturday, so if you're in the general area it won't require a day off for most people who work a M-F type job.

That is good to hear Hoobs. The Video Game Summit is from 11 AM till 6 PM. Turbo-Fest will be there the whole time. The tournament times for Turbo-Fest are as follows:

12 PM: Battle Lode Runner
2 PM: Bomberman 94
4 PM: R-Type

It's our very first appearance at the VGS. Lots of excitement is planned for the day.

In unrelated Turbo News, video game champions, Paul Zimmerman and Andy Breyer, will attempt to break the world record for the 7800 version of Asteroids for Twin Galaxies at the Video Game Summit (tentatively planned).

I'm not in the general area so it will require a Road Trip for me.
