DEBRO Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 That ad is so perfectly 1982 EG Magazine! Congratulations to the designer. I guess we'll be seeing that in a Manci Games magazine soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adams_ale Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I couldn't make it to the Philly Classic as expected. Well, maybe I could have, but my el cheapo Ford Escort wagon is making screeching sounds in the lower gears and is not accelerating like normal. Time to spend my saved extra cash for a tune-up and any other perfunctory repairs which may have been neglected. I sure thought I would be able to go, but I can't ignore these recent and ominous car sounds when taking a 14 hour round-trip drive. By the time the next classic comes along I'll hopefully have a new car and will certainly be more prepared than the scant two weeks knowledge I had this time around. I really wanted to meet Stan, MegaManFan, Albert, Tantone 56, and numerous others(list would be longer, but I know these people went ). Hopefully I'll see you'll there next year.

bjk7382 Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I guess we'll be seeing that in a Manci Games magazine soon. I got the first issue here at the show, and read thru it and I have to give them credit on a job well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vb_master Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 In the first picture Allan posted, my parents and I were in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMegaManFan Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Okay - for all of you folks waiting anxiously: All of the PC5 photos we have taken (so far) are in a new thread that MMF just started. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Did Albert ever get the latest Homestar RPG demo working? Last I heard he was having problems, and I'm sure he's too swamped to catch up with emails right now. I'll post the ROM to the 2600 forum anyway, but just curious if it ever got up and running at Philly. -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke 4ever Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I also picked up "Once Upon Atari" for a good $20 and got it signed as well by HSW. Ill post the picture of me and him later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tantone56 Posted March 21, 2004 Author Share Posted March 21, 2004 I went both days and it was really cool. I think that a ton of stuff was over priced making it really a sellers market. As far as seeing friends from this site it was really fun. When ever someone went to call out tantone they said hey it's the Carl Winslow guy lol. Well it was really really cool I am just a little sad that I missed the chance to see howard scott warshaw and ralph baer was suposed to be there but his wife ot very sick but he did send a replica that he made of the brown box and people where free to play it...I kicked my dads ass at paddle ball Well besides the gamming convention the computer show next store was really cool also and I ended up spending alot of $ in there. At the gaming show I purchased a 7800 complete and four games for it also I picked up like five 2600 commons. I went looking for a colecovision but they had none so when I saw the 7800 set for 45.00 I snatched it up. Well I had a lot of fun and will surely go back next year.

vb_master Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 The Japanese guy who showed me the brown box didn't know what the "English" button did. I was confused too, I forgot to stop back to ask the builder how to play, oh well . I was suprised that there were no Starpath Superchargers there. I was out to buy one, but nobody had one. I also saw a 130XE that I didn't buy. I was about to buy the Magicard/Video Life (I did buy it for a minute, but I returned it. I should of kept it! ) like I said, but after showing me the manuel I was confused. Another point was a $5 7800 ProSystem that I should of bought! I was scared when I saw a 5200, way too big. Some nice Vectrixes were there. VideoGameWiz had a $26 2600 Development kit, I don't know how it worked (how did you burn the EPROMs without a burner?). There were so many things at the show I should of bought, but I didn't. I was angry at my decision on my way home that night. I don't know what to do with my Philly Classic money now (I can't come back next year). It was a nice show overall . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjk7382 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I also got in addition to the stuff I already posted, a Competition Pro 2600 (working) for .50 cents. And a few other 2600 and nes controllers for a 1.00. And I got an Adam computer for 35. (not as good as Tempest's boxed one he got from Curt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even had it on the big screen TV at the front of the booth. MMF says it drove him really insane to see it on the display TV (it was exactly like ours) instead of his own TV.

I might of missed it because I was just zooming around looking for a long cart with a cable coming out the end. Where was Trade-N-Games? Near the AtariAge booth? Neat Pack Rat Video Games? Next to VideoGameWiz? Where! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Every year at PC, I always wish the con lasted just ONE more day.. but I guess that always gives me a reason to look forward to NEXT year.

It's a shame I couldn't be there. It would have been really great if I would have talked to CV fans and gathered some feedback... By the way, did someone participate in the Ping-Pong tournament? I mean, I am not sure if/when it happened.... I am stuck here, completely in the dark... <snif> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maibock Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I miss the Atari "Race Drivin' Panorama" already. What a sweet machine that was. It's now a must have for me. I taught my kid how to drive stick shift yesterday And who was the guy who beat me in the Warlords final? I knew I was in trouble when I grabbed the controller to the upper left corner. Good Game though! I want a rematch I spent most of yesterday in the arcade area - what a blast playing classics shoulder to shoulder again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
