I might go. Did you know about the Turbo Fests that turboSage and I held at the MGC in 2007 and 2008?

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I heard about you guys. The guy who does Jagfest, who is also the promoter of the Video Game Summit, said that a of couple guys used to do a Turbo Fest at the MGC a few years back. He was the one that suggested the name "Turbo Fest." Very interesting. Just curious, what type of activities did you guys do at these Turbo Fests?

It wasn't anything too extravogant. All we really did was have a bunch of Turbo systems and games on display (Turbo Duo, PCE+CDROM2, PC-FX, Super Grafx, Turbo Express). Me and one of the coders here (tomaitheo / Bonknuts) made a special Pong demo for the 2008 fest called Turbo Pong . If you're able to get in touch with tom, he may be able to make a 2010 edition :) (we had a bunch of ideas to add to it, but didn't have enough time to implement them).

You can find some pics of the previous Turbo Fests on these articles I made: MGC 2007 , MGC 2008 .

Definitely going to look into coming to the VGS!

Thanks for those pics Keranu. They are fantastic! I would love to showcase a 2010 version of Turbo Pong. I would appreciate if you could give me Tom's contact info.

One of my buddies is actually taking apart a SFIV arcade stick and transforming it so it will become compatible with the T-16. He is even putting a button on each side for some mad pinball action! It is coming along real well from what I heard. I will post pics of it later on. He is going to bring it along so that we can showcase it.

This is how far he has gotten at this point. The Turbografx PCB is all soldered up, he just needs to wire it in with the PS3 board. Then he'll start on a wood case after this.

Will everyone have to use the same controller for the Bomberman tournament or can I bring my own custom controller?

We will have regular controllers, Turbo Sticks, a Python 4 controller and possibly this arcade stick available for use. But you are more than welcome to bring your own controller. Each match is going to have 5 players on-screen. It is going to be awesome :)

We will be playing on a Turbografx+Super CD unit.

Too bad everything west of New Jersey and east of Los Angeles = wastelands of Southern Canada :)

Still, it's a shame I can't make it TurboFest 2010 :(
