zombiecraig Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Is anyone going to be attending the Midwest Gaming Classic just outside of Milwaukee on May 22 & 23? I went 2 years ago and didn't stay for too long, maybe half the day. But I figured that it has become a bit larger from 2 years ago and thought I would give it another go. Plus my birthday is that weekend, so I thought the wife and I could make a mini trip out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpmxxipt Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I'll be skulking around. I have a (unfortunately non-atari) project that I'm hoping to time to correspond to the MGC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goatdan Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I'll be there There are some huge announcements that I have to make once I get time (need to rebuild the darn computer first, I love Microsoft! ) but I'll let everyone in on a few of them here... - Two new Dreamcast games will be released, and a bunch of future releases will be demoed for the first time or in greatly updated form at the event. - A Golden Tee machine will be given away to a lucky winner. - Huge LAN party to play in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Yes, I will be there. I will be bringing my Lynx with BattleWheels, and I hope others will too. It would be great to get some 6 player linked Battlewheels action going. See you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hey is there a website for this event I can browse? I probably can't make it but I'd like to at least be envious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought several items from you guys two years ago, so I look forward to doing more business with you this year! Glad to see the MGC is getting some support from Atari Age members. The more the better! Look forward to seeing you all there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Iacovelli Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 AVC will be there also (just made a banner using ms publisher 2003) (it has been said also has it that AVC will not only have the final jagfest issue for sale there but they do plan on returning the Atari tribute table that they did in 2001(It might be hidden in the jagfest section though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaQiuPai, a MahJong game with a few neat twists. Inhabitants, a puzzler with tons of different playmodes and even a fourplayer mode. They're both really quality games. We'll have more up for them soon at the GOAT Store, LLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Rogue Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Guy's don't forget to head on over to the Midwest Gaming Classic forum to vote on what games you want to be able to play in the museum area. The MGC Museum is one of the few museums where everything is available for play, and there will be actual seperate console and computer play areas in the museum (so don't forget to vote for computer games as well).

punkoffgirl Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Wasn't Digital Press going to be a sponsor at one point also? What happened there? That's a little disappointing... Yes, Digital Press was a sponsor, but the organizers were strong-armed into dropping their sponsorship when certain attendees said they wouldn't come otherwise.

ozyr Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Yes, I will be there. I will be bringing my Lynx with BattleWheels, and I hope others will too. It would be great to get some 6 player linked Battlewheels action going. See you there! I'm bringing a minimum of 6 Lynx units, with various multiplayer games (I think I only have 5 battlewheels carts though). Brings yours along- and there will be a 6 player setup for sure!

Retro Rogue Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Besides Lynx networks, don't forget we'll be having the original GenCon Midi-Maze display of networked ST's as well! About the only thing we'll be missing out of networked Atari systems is a battlesphere network of Jaguars like we had as Jagfest in 2001.

Tempest Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Besides Lynx networks, don't forget we'll be having the original GenCon Midi-Maze display of networked ST's as well! I want to see a networked 8-bit Midi Maze display. That would be neat. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatdan Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 If anyone wants to bring along some TVs to lend to the event, we could get a networked game of Battlesphere goin' on! Speaking of which, we actually are really in need of some TVs for the event. If you happen to have any that you could bring, please PM me and I'll work out something cool for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
