STICH666 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Now why can't conventions like this happen on Long Island. This place is freaking dry for obscure, retro games and consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Did you happen to play/see Pre Historic Times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyg2181 Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Did you happen to play/see Pre Historic Times? Yes, that's the game where you play a caveman. I would have bought one, but hey were sold out, but I gave them my email address so I can place an order when more are available. The one guy had an NES contest called too many games championships 2009, I was doing good, but then I fucked up on tetris, which is strange because I'm really good at it. I wanted to stay for the warlords competition, but it was postponed and I was running out of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Cool. Thanks for the report! How many people were there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xg4bx Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 i went today too. there were at least 100+ people there when i left at 2pm. i picked up a copy of prehistoric times, the creator seemed to have only brought about a dozen copies with him. the game itself isn't bad. im sure people here have higher standards than i do, but i definitely don't feel ripped off. the game is challenging and fun. i wouldn't pay more than $20 considering the quality of the AA homebrews for that price but for $15 its solid. the creator was really nice too. i didnt score any major finds but i picked up a bunch of 5200 and 2600 games. i got kung fu master for $8 and star wars arcade (5200) for like $12, 2 games i know usually sell for alot more. sadly 7800 games were almost non-existent so no 7800 ikari warriors or alien brigade for me. i also picked up demons souls, an awesome import only ps3 game. it was a solid show. theres another planned for sept. 12th.

eyg2181 Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Is it at the same location? I guess you missed the warlords competition as well. It was a great time, I really wanted that gold nes cart for the tmg championship 2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I went to the first or second TMG show that was held... it was small but a heck of a lot of fun. Glad to know it's getting bigger and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I was at TMG also. I had Colecovision, 5200, 7800 and about three 2600 carts on my shopping list and crossed a lot off of my list with the exception of 7800 carts, echoing their virtual non-existence from a previous forum post. The only 7800 cart that I picked up was Rampage. At the end of the day, I purchased from only three different vendors. I could not find any Commodore 64 games anywhere. Fortunately, they were a low priority on my list anyway. I put a huge dent in my Colecovision and 5200 "wants list." I guess for what I spent at the show I easily saved 200% versus buying "onsies and twosies" off of eBay and CTCW: Colecovision Miner 2049er Front Line Subroc Beamrider Jungle Hunt Spy Hunter Victory Tarzan WarGames PitStop Bump 'n' Jump 5200 Joust Berzerk Space Invaders Qix Pengo Robotron:2084 Kangaroo Mario Bros. 2600 Millipede Jr. Pac-Man Pressure Cooker Stampede 7800 Rampage Lynx The Lynx console itself Rampage Robotron:2084 Joust Paperboy Additionally, I bought Jet Moto II and Need For Speed Playstation games.
