hell, maybe we could find the "perfect" place for a forum get together, something between all of us.

Omaha is pretty close to the center of the US, which is in Lebanon Kansas.  :mrgreen:

Of course, the only bad part about that is... well, it's Kansas. :D

That's why I suggested Omaha, not that that's really any better.  Unless maybe you really like corn.

I live in the middle of a field of corn. Does that count???

i hope you're prepared to sell your organs for that one.
i saw one at MGC, marked $350

Let's just say I didn't pay him $350, but I ended up picking up all of that other stuff and that dropped the price rather significantly.  :)

Anyway, I got off the phone with Dan last night and I'm officially transitioning to another role and no longer doing the giant game room by my lonesome next year.  Plan is that I will continue to stock the Versus Room and organize the museum in general, but that's about as far as I'm willing (and able) to go now.

Since I'm not stocking the larger game room any longer, we'll of course need some people to step up and fill it.  Turbo Fest would be one thing that can go in there, but we also need a lot of other game consoles and games since the room is supposed to fill in everything from the NES to PS3.

A few of you mentioned that you would be willing to provide game systems and games next year beyond the Turbo... Well, since it is fresh on the brain now, I'm interested in learning just what stuff can be covered right now. 

If you're willing to bring something next year, feel free to message me or post something here.

Later.

As stated I could bring a Neo Geo AES along with some of my games. I only have about six, and none of them are the uber-expensive ones. I also have a Super Famicom, a Twin Famicom (identical to the one at this year's show), Saturn, etc. The Twin Fami's disc drive needs to be replaced though.  :(

I can supply the following less common systems...

Turbo Duo
TG16/CD
Supergrafx
Laseractive (sega and pce pacs)
Nuon

And maybe my Atari 800 if desired

I could easily bring Saturn/ Turbo DUo/ and Atari 7800 goods for showing!  I'm actually contemplating bringing them all for this years VGS to test out how hard it would be for me to bring and maintain that many systems at a time.

And JD, anything else you think I could do to help would be fine with me.  I felt so powerless on Friday night when you looked like you were dead tired with so much more work to be done.  I would totally be available to help out with setting up/ carrying/ play testing/ transporting consoles/ 'cades/ games the day before, and early Saturday morning.

I was looking for something to do, Christ TurboFest was pretty much set up around 8am Saturday anyway!  :)

Since I will be going next year, I could perhaps bring a couple of consoles and screens along.

Well, John, as you can see it looks as if the Turbo community is willing to stand up and help in any way possible. You came to the right place my friend. :wink:

I finally had a chance to view this! You have to tell me who was playing DIO in "MGC part 2". Was it one of the PCFX crew?
