JAGFEST 2003 - THRIVING IN THE JUNGLE

 

For 2003 Jaguar fans have agreed to hold multiple JagFest events nationwide

to allow other fans the opportunity to attend during this historic tenth

anniversary of the release of the Jaguar by Atari Corporation.

 

JagFest 2003 "Thriving in the Jungle" will demonstrate the Jaguar is still

alive and kicking with numerous hobby game efforts underway nearly a decade

after the Jaguar's first release. Each event will feature demos of lost and

upcoming games, as well as one or more tournaments with prizes for some of

the best Jaguar games out there.

 

At this time, the following JagFest events have been established:

 

JagFest @ MWC

---------------------

When: June 7, 2003

Where: Milwaukee, WI

Lead Organizers: Dan Iacovelli

 

JagFest @ VGS

---------------------

When: July 12, 2003

Where: Lombard, IL

Lead Organizers: Dan Iacovelli

 

JagFest @ CGE

---------------------

When: August 9-10, 2003

Where: Las Vegas, NV

Lead Organizers: Carl Forhan and Scott Walters

 

There's no way these few organizers can accomplish a successful event alone.

We need fans to commit to attend to whichever shows they can. We need equipment, unreleased games, demos of upcoming games, tournament prizes, flyers, web pages, and more. If you're interested in organizing a JagFest event in your region, or would like to assist with other established events, please send a blank email to JagFest-subscribe@yahoogroups.com .

 

Long live the Jaguar!

Not sure who all is coming from the board but I'd imagine there will be several people there. Also, Carl and Scott are working on getting some Jag programmers out there so we can have a keynote presentation on the Jag.

A quick update on Jagfest at MWC and VGS:

 

I will be showing Black Ice / White Noise at both events.

This game although not compleated but is playable(as mentioned in Jaguar forums here on atari age).

I just put my order in and I should recive it prior to MWC and VGS.

 

We are also setting up a Lynx tourney (thanks to Tom L and his may Lynxes) and apossible Jaguar tournery or two.
