SteveW Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Sah-weet. I've been waiting for this one. Especially since the Dallas VGXpo was such a dud. Time to get some locals together for a carpool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icbrkr Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I haven't missed a year setting up and I don't believe I'll do it this year either! On my agenda are to bring the A4000T, a C-One (so if you've never seen one before, this may be your only chance There aren't many of these around). I haven't decided on my other items yet but I'm open to suggestions. And if I can get a signal, I'm running the webcam again Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazy_kamino Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I might show up, i have a serious choice to make between going to OVGE, or staying in wisconsin, allowing hot chicks to stay at my flat, and get drunk (it's the same weekend as irish fest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2600Lives Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hot chicks and video games do NOT mix, ok? It's like oil and water, my friend. If you tried in any way combining those two, the world as we know it may just implode in a ball of fiery death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2600Lives Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Well, the new Oklahoma Naz...I mean Gaming Bill went was passed into law. WITHOUT any sort of involvement from the voters, I might add. Wonder if this means we'll have state investigators at the show to make sure everything stays decent? Investigator - Now, now. You must turn off this game. The violent imagery will scar little Timmy over there for life. Random guy at convention - But Mr. Jackboot sir, this is Super Mario Brothers! Investigator - Yes, and when Mario jumps on those little mushrooms, they obviously die! Violence, I say! Wait, mushrooms?? Drug use as well! Indecency! Blasphemy! You're coming with me... Seems we've entered the next stage of hell, folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuzzed Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I've got this event marked on my Calendar! I missed it last year, due to a cranky girlfriend.... This year, the girlfriend has been dumped and I'm heading from Oklahoma City to Tulsa. I can't wait! Delf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8bitclassics Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I would plan on attending, except it's the wifes birthday on that day, not even that far of a drive (maybe twelve hours). Oh well, maybe next year. Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icbrkr Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I'm bumping this up a bit. So far on my table I've got a Commodore One to display, a couple CD32s probably, and various other C= stuff. I'm going to try to drag all my duplicate carts (200+) and wires/etc. I'm up for suggestions (look through the collection on my webpage). Last year I had an import theme - PC Engine Duo, Japanese Gamecube games, Brazillian SMS games, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) Cool, I've never seen a CD32 in person. I thought about picking one up on ebay a while back, but decided against it since I'd never played one. I'll be checking out your table for sure.

2600Lives Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Dude, you seriously gotta sell me one of those CD-32s. Like, come on and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hmmm, anyone from OKC wanna carpool? I'd have to split the cost of gas with someone and ride with them, as I've only got two seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icbrkr Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Dude, you seriously gotta sell me one of those CD-32s. Like, come on and stuff. Hah, no way. I just bought the second one new on Ebay Its first real workout will be the show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphor Dot Fossils Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 The tables are paid for...and I'm bringing company this time! AltairBoy is planning on being there to show off some of his collection of vintage (and working!) MITS Altair computers at the PDF tables, with at least one 8800 up and running with a game or two, and some vintage computer magazines dating back before Apple came along and revolutionized everything. Now there's something ya don't see every day. I'll have the usual Odyssey2 goodness, and if I can coax it into working again, the original Magnavox Odyssey (again, not something that you can get your paws on every day). There'll also be a real live working Atari Video Music there that you can try out hands-on (along with a nifty mix of game-related tunes and vintage 70s and 80s goodness), as well as the complete Coleco tabletop collection - all with batteries in 'em! - and all those great goodies in the PDF videogame memorabilia collection. If I can get it all put together in time, this year will see the premiere of a new expanded version of the PDF video loop that has proven so popular in years past - with possibly even as much as an extra half-hour of vintage game clips. Oh, and that's just the PDF table. Flack, icbrkr and quite a few others will be there, all with their own displays that are at least that cool. If all this isn't sounding tasty enough for you to head to Tulsa for a Saturday, then I don't know what is! Come on out and play some classics. That number again is O-V-G-E.

Flack Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 If anyone's on the fence about this one, it'll be worth it just to come and check out AltairBoy's Altair collection. At the rate that they (and he) are aging, you might not get another chance to see such dinosaurs together. I know Icbrkr and I have both paid for our tables. It should be an awesome show, can't wait to see everyone again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
