Atari 2600 Challenge announced for this years show

 

Chicago, Illinois –(4/7/2009) –

The Video Game Summit staff is proud to announce the Atari 2600 challenge featuring the return of Laserman 2k3

and its sequel Laserman and an old time Classic arcade for the 2600, Phoenix.

 

Laserman 2k3 is a hack of Keystone Kappers for 2600,taking place in the future where you

“Laserman” have to catch “Dr.X” before he escapes his lab.

Laserman 2k3 has the similar game play as keystone kappers with new graphics.

This game made its official debut being played on an emulator at our 2004 show

And then in cart form as part tournament/prize in 2005(which was won by Steven Lucas)

 

Laserman is a 2600 game I did by scratch using batari Basic complier, which compliers a

basic program into a 2600 binary file, and it based on my first game I did for the ti-99/4a

also by the same name. This game unlike the predecessor takes place in the past (on the ti version it’s 1984)

to fight off aliens from the future.(they come to the past because our technology isn’t as advance as it is the future

where they have been defeated). We have learned that their base in the Bermuda Triangle. Now here’s the catch, they

are clocked so you can’t see them, but you can see their bombs drop, your objective is to shoot down the bombs.

Both of these games will be in cart form (with a special label being made) and the Tournament starts off with

6 players playing Laserman 2k3, then the top 2 will play Laserman. The player who wins will get a Gift Certificate to the

AVC News Stand (http://cafepress.com/avcnews) and walk away with both carts. The Laserman Challenge starts at 2pm.

 

At the recent Midwest Gaming Classic, Paul “ZimZamm” Zimmerman, has not only rolled the score on Phoenix during a

Phoenix tournament at the show, but has also set a new World Record for the game with s score of 1,124,779.

A month later, at his house, he has beaten that score with a score of 2,344,018, which was recorded and sent to Twin Galaxies.

The 2009 Video Game Summit will be the only place to witness his attempt to beat his two scores and possibly make history as he

tries for three million.

(We ask you that if you plan to take pictures, please no flash photography during his attempt). Those who register online will get to

enter the show 2 hours before the show starts to witness Paul’s attempt from the start (as well as see other challenge games as well

before the actual tournaments)

You can also have a chance to beat his scores or get the high score of the day during normal show hours from 11am to 2pm, in a

walk up tournament, where you sign up at the tournament tables and play (you are allowed 2 practice games before your actual game).

The winner will receive a Gift certificate from the AVC News stand and a prize from one of our sponsors (To Be Determined).

 

(The 2600 challenge tournaments will take place at the tournament tables)

 

 

The Video Game Summit, now in its sixth year, brings together classic and modern generation gamers from all over the country

to swap stories, games and to compete in sanctioned tournaments and raffles. The event is open to the public and people of all ages

with an interest in video games or computers are encouraged to attend.

Experience the return of the 8-bit music revolution at VGS’09

 

Chicago, Illinois–(6/16/2009)- At our first show in 2003, we had our first taste of

the 8-bit music revolution when Bud Melvin played his banjo with a color Game Boy.

This year the 8-bit music revolution returns with two local 8-bit groups:

I Fight Dragons and Chupathingy.

 

8-bit music is music influenced or played by classic computer or video game sounds.

 

I Fight Dragons is Chicago's finest (and quite possibly only) NES-Rock band.

They have very detailed delusions of grandeur, most of

which include gross misuses of Nintendo products in combination with music in the Popular

Rock genre. This February,they sold out Chicago's Elbo Room as they released their debut EP,

"Cool Is Just A Number." They use a talking computer a lot, or possibly a talking

computer uses them a lot.

 

Hailing from Chicago, Chris Duddridge, A.K.A. Chupathingy

specializes in electronic music with the style of 8-bit music.

 

Both of these musicians’ will be present at The 2009 video Game Summit and while they won’t

be playing the music live, they will be playing demos of the music as well selling them.

Chris has also made a special song called “At the Summit” which is inspired by this show.

I fight dragons website is listed below as they are also one of our sponsors

Chupathingy can be found at http://8bitcollective.com/members/chupathingy or

any tables we have open will be sold for cash only at the show.

If you paid for your admission or table,then you know that program is now online

if not, well now you do(it's listed in the menu)

also toanybody who is coming help us out a bit d/l the program and print at home.

we ran in to some tech difficulty and chances are we won't have many at the show.

just want to say despite a few glitches at the show,

it went pretty well, we had more games for play this year thanks to my co-promoter Todd Friedman.

and we had Scott Williamson, former Atari Programmer ( roboblasters on the Lynx) stop by I didn't even know it was him.

report coming soon.
