VGS was fun (again). This was my second one to attend. Forum member Jordan (my sister) and I were there all day, and we went out to eat afterwards with the group. See y'all at Octurbofest!

chop5 · 07/15/2013, 01:19 AM

hizaygizirlz · 07/15/2013, 02:14 AM

ha ha I made the pictures in shoe form that's awesome. Great captions choppy particularly the pizza one.

jeffhlewis · 07/15/2013, 09:23 AM

The only photo I captured over the weekend was Majors "powering up" with my celebratory Champagne for Mati & Ash.

Good times had by all, as always! Chicago traffic got us to Galloping Ghost a bit late but we stayed there until about 1 a.m. Show was a little smaller this year but the vending was good for the most part - Chris @ Windy Gaming came with a lot of good shit.

Thanks to Beamer for doing another checkup on my X68000 and for the compact flash SCSI reader! Check's in the mail soon.

Now on to Octurbofest (right?)

Opethian · 07/15/2013, 10:28 AM

OCTURBOB!

Arkhan Asylum · 07/15/2013, 10:45 AM

Mathius · 07/15/2013, 10:53 AM

LOL at chop. The couple's table couldn't hear ourselves think because the manly table wouldn't shut the fuck up. That viking wind is loud!

My pick-ups and wins. SMS Rampage and Tetris DX have been on my short list for a good spell. There where some good deals on commons for sure, much like a flea or garage sale (no complaints there!)

Good times, good games and okay beer. Only had to wait 6 hours in the airport both ways, but well worth it. Glad to get up with obey ppls (Jag and Atari folks that do not follow the church of Turbo are dead to me). I'd like to personally thank Old Style for making Saturday even more enjoyable for me. Shout out to the crew that made it happen.

I finally got to get some time on Pyramid Plunder.

ElSeven · 07/16/2013, 03:08 AM

definitely had a great time this year, glad to see so many pcfx'ers able to make it out. kinda bummed i didn't win that sweet pvm in the raiden tourney tho

is octurbofest officially happening again this year?

xcrement5x · 07/18/2013, 03:36 PM

Looks like it was a blast! All these cool gatherings out in the midwest, we need something for the Southwest ;)

chany60126 · 07/18/2013, 10:30 PM

Thank you all for coming. Definitely one of the more memorable Turbo Fests we have ever had! I didn't manage to take a many pics but here are the ones that I have.

Here is a short video I took of a Battle Lode Runner Match

I will definitely let you guys know once we have a date finalized for Octurbofest. Stay tuned!

Oops. I will try to rectify that asap.

POINT 1: Thank you! Now I can pick DragonMasterDan out of a police lineup

POINT 2: You have chained 10+ photos for 856,432 extra points.

Q1: Is that Sol Feace on the X68000? How does it compare to Sega cart/CD?
Q2: Can we list all the TG-16/PCE games on display at VGS2013? (Puyo Puyo, Pyramid Plunder, Monolith, Jackie Chan, Battle Lode Runner, Rabio Lepus, Raiden? and __________ .)
Q3: Was the Tg-16/PCE area any less popular (dead) compared to other areas of the show?

chany60126 · 07/22/2013, 11:54 AM

I'd say that the turbo was definitely the life of the party as far as the gaming area is concerned. The area was especially buzzing when he had the five player matches of Battle Lode Runner, Bomberman 94 and Revival Chase. The Neo Geo AES station was also very popular. I had to wait a couple of hours for that station to clear out to play Windjammers with a fellow PCFX'er.

Bardoly · 07/22/2013, 12:03 PM

Esteban,
In partial answer to your #2 question:

In addition to the games you listed, the following Turbo games were played at VGS this year that I remember.

Aero Blasters, Bomberman '94, Raiden, Revival Chase, Tatsujin, Sylphia? (I think.), Legend of Valkyrie
