+-^CrossBow^- Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Yes! Finally a few update for the upcoming September OKGE. First there has been a relocation for this show. Suffice it to say that I am getting more interest in the show than I had originally planned for so I had to find a larger facility. Good news is the new facility is much larger, nicer, and generally more suited for something like this. Additionally a few more exhibitors have agreed to attend. Including Shane Kukiattikoon who is hosting the $1000 SNES Super Mario Kart Challenge has agreed to bring his challenge to OKGE! We are working on getting more vendors at this point as we pretty much have the sponsorships complete. I also plan to have at least one or two tables setup for those wishing to bring dupes to the show for trade. I encourage all who would like to attend to please look over the website once more and email if you wish to reserve a table ASAP! http://www.ivorytower.emuviews.com/okge Hope to see you all there!

Phosphor Dot Fossils Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 OK, quick question for those attending OKGE and interested in the Odyssey2 (I know, I just narrowed this down to what, thee people?). What O2 games do YOU want to see? I've got some of the rarest ones such as Power Lords, Frogger and Loony Balloon, but which games to YOU want to play while you're there? I don't want to bring the whole collection, but I DO want to make sure that I'm bringing stuff that everyone wants to play. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 OK, quick question for those attending OKGE and interested in the Odyssey2 (I know, I just narrowed this down to what, thee people?). I do have a fairly complete O2 library, but I've never really played with any of The Voice! games. It would be cool to see that setup, although I don't know if it'lll be loud enough to be heard over the din of everything else. ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphor Dot Fossils Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 You'd be surprised, actually, how loud that thing can get on full-blast, so I'll make sure to bring those games. Especially Smithereens - best party game I have in my whole collection, bar none. Gets 'em every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do bring it, I'm sure we'll have a blast! After all, it is the precursor to Rampart (which is also a great game!) ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2600Lives Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Hello everyone. I rarely post on here, and you probably don't know me, but I've been a classic gaming fan for a long, long time. I have sooooo much stuff it's not even funny (including a perfectly working Vectrex!). I applied for some tables tonight, and I'm waiting for a reply, so don't be surprised if you see me in the exhibitors area! I hope to see you all there! The best part? I live RIGHT behind the Hilton! Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2600Lives Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 And I have a question, Crosbow. Wlll televisions be made available to either exhibitors or vendors? If only vendors get tv's, I'll gladly pony up the 10 beans so I can hook up my mint condition Atari 7800 or something for folks to try out. I'll probably be bringing my uber-extensive collection of Commodore stuff, too (I have 22 working Commodore 64's and 18 working Vic-20's, but I think one of each will suffice!), and it'd be cool if I could toss one on a tv and stick a game in it. Thanks in advance! And if you live in Tulsa, maybe we could meet sometime to talk some detail about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted July 31, 2003 Author Share Posted July 31, 2003 The OKGE has gotten some fantastic response! So much so in fact, that at this time, all the tables have now been spoken for! We already have a standby list with those waiting for any cancellations. Please be sure to visit the OKGE webiste and take a look at the Vendors and Exhibitors pages to get the latest on who will be there! It is also my pleasure to announce that Amini's Galleria in Tulsa, OK. has agreed to attend the OKGE and bring some arcade games and perhaps a pinball machine or two for play at the OKGE! In addition Amini's Galleria will also bring with them a complete X-Arcade Entertainment Center and ArcadePC cabinet setups for display and play! Stay tuned ...

Phosphor Dot Fossils Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 One more call for Odyssey2 games to bring...any suggestions? It's pretty much a given that I'll be bringing the Challenger Series games (K.C. Munchkin, Pick Axe Pete, Killer Bees, UFO, etc.), imports and third-party carts, but I'm open to other suggestions. See ya guys in a week and a half. I'm pumped like a Pooka in a hot game of Dig Dug. That just sounds so wrong now that I go back and read it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGurl Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Thanks to my injury which is keeping me home until sometime around Thanksgiving, Sauron and I won't be making it this year. You guys have fun and we'll definitely plan for next year (so long as I don't do something stupid like falling down stairs again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphor Dot Fossils Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Sorry to hear you guys are gonna miss it. I was looking forward to meeting the whole AA gang. But when Jess is already saying things like "first annual OKGE" and "next year," I have a feeling we'll still get that chance. Assuming I don't make it to AGE II first. Get to feeling better. I'm sure abundant pictures will be taken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted September 10, 2003 Author Share Posted September 10, 2003 Since my last posting on the OKGE there have been a few changes. All the tables have been filled for the show and the floor space is gonna be packed to fit us all in there...hehe That aside anyone who has looked at the page recently may have noticed a few changes to the sponsors listed on the main page. First Subway has agreed to some sponsorship along with a local radio station here Mix96 (Largely an 80s music station). Additionally a few copies of the Video Game Bible will be generously donated to the OKGE to be used as door prizes and as part of the main prize package to the winner of the Classic Gaming Tourney. A few more exhibitors and vendors have been added since I last spoke of this show as well. We now have WarpZone Video Games coming down to the show from the distant lands we call Minnesota! They will bringing up as much as they can cram onto 2 tables at the OKGE and will bring with them the Treamcast for display and sell! Also joining the Vendors will be PCs and Stuff from Joplin, Missouri. They specialize in fixing the consoles we use so well. They will have a few dissected consoles on display showing the quality of their work so that we don't have to break into our own! The exhibitors list has grown too much to list here in this post but suffice it to say that nearly all classic systems will be represented at the show in some form or another including the mighty Neo-Geo (Of which I still can't afford..hehe)! StrikeNet has listened to the suggestions of myself and few others and agreed to a smaller tournament at the show to include a 2 on 2 teams Halo Tournament! Too bad I can't play this game to save my life...but the rest of you can have fun! For further details and a complete list of current events, exhibitors, and vendors, please visit the OKGE website.

Phosphor Dot Fossils Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I'll be a-heading out in just 49 hours for OKGE. And here's just a fraction of the stash-o'-stuff I'm bringin' with me! See everyone in two days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2600Lives Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Aye, you most certainly will! Man, I simply cannot WAIT until Saturday. I'm doing all my last minute cleaning and testing and stuff as we speak. See you there, PDF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I am also busy preparing for the show! I have no idea how I'm going to cram all the stuff into my car and how I'm going to fit everything on to the three tables I purchased for AtariAge! ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Not sure if I like those greenish labels. They are just labels made for this show, they aren't the production labels for the games. ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Is that a new Climber 5 or the one from AGE? If it's not and you don't need it the AGE one any more, can I have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphor Dot Fossils Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Not sure if I like those greenish labels. Yeah, but it's Green Country. Besides, I like that last one in the bottom right. Looks kinda nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Is that a new Climber 5 or the one from AGE? If it's not and you don't need it the AGE one any more, can I have it? Same one from AGE. Let's see: Climber 5: Same as AGE Backfire: New (newer than the binary on AA, even) Adventure II: New Homestar Runner: Same Tank AI: Same Bounce!: New Gravity Ball: Same JoustPong: New Space Invaders Collection: New The Backfire label came out a bit blurry in the picture, the real thing looks great. ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8bit4life Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 The Warpzone Video Games van is packed and ready to go. We'll be leaving tomorrow morning bright and early. If anybody wants to hang tomorrow night, I'm sure you'll be able to find us in the lounge drinking heavily and playing on the Treamcast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 How can you not like the green labels? They catch your attention and give you all the informaion you need quickly and efficiently in a nicely designed package. Obviously these were not meant to be sold and as suh they will be rare collectors labels for these one-of-a-kind demo labels. I think they are very nice. Good job Albert, bravo!
