Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Ok, So... in 2006 it seems they allowed people to bring in consoles for their own freeplay. If i had only known that sooner >.<
Is the same going to be for 2007? And is there a way I can help make this an official event? I would entertain being an enforcer if need be.
YES! COME ONE, COME ALL to COMBAT 2 PWNAGE!
STREET FIGHTER 2, HYPER FIGHTING!
General CHAOS!
HERZOG ZEWEII!
I have to give Martian viking big props for bringing his projector and doing that 10 man bomberman. That was something else. ( mental note, buy projector)

Project 25.01 final message
We were the ones who thought that Melissa was real. Why you might ask.
Let me put it this way, it was an "OH SHIT OH SHIT, THEY FOUND ME
" moment. I wasn't ready. My code wasn't compiled yet. Our plans weren't setup yet!Sentient programs rarely run into other sentient programs.
Some of you have met me, and I understand your concern of my well being. But that time for that boy, that child, are gone now. Viscount Alpha is no longer operable. His functions are now mine.He may post, but I am the one talking not him.My data, my code will live on forever in his servers.

Thats fine. The cooldown party in my room is still a go. I might just keep to a snes, and the genesis mk2.

Okay, this has become sketchy as my bulb just burnt out last night. I'll keep you guys posted on this as PAX approaches.
I have a, albeit huge, projector available, and given that I know Astayonix will be all over Classic Console Night, I can endeavor to bring it with us.

are you interested in doing a combined sunday evening thing? Last year only a few showed up and they were all friends. I hope this year the hotels will be a tad more forgiving for hosting something like this.

Technically we didn't have dedicated space for people to bring their own consoles last year -- I'm going to guess that someone hooked one up to one of the console freeplay stations.
Well, the obvious classics apply, NES, SNES, Atari 2600, Sega Genesis, Dreamcast just to name a few.
It comes with three glue-on pads that take two days to set.

[edit] btw, i've got some pretty cool classic gaming stuff, if you guys think maybe i should bring it. i've got several nes's, including the new model (can't remember the name, it's only been around for a couple years), as well as a very limited edition sharp tv with built in nes. got controllers, an nes advantage, and zappers, as well.
Yeah, but it's better than nothing, a security system you can bypass without bolt cutters.
Also, don't bring anything rare and valuable to PAX. Only tears will follow.

I agree. I will bring my vintage 1st and 2nd generation Sega Genesises..es.es.. ^_^, but they will remain in my hotel room during PAX. Last year, I brought 2 extra TVs to the hotel and we had a grand old time in our room playing old Genesis games.
Regardless of whether or not there's a place at PAX to set up classic consoles or not, mine will remain in my room, and I will probably limit access to friends and aquaintances becuase I don't want my stuff getting lost or stolen and I want controlled access to my hotel room. Don't want people thinking my room is an official public stop on the PAX circuit.
If you want to play some classic Genesis, let me know here in the forums or at PAX07. Sorry, Viscountalpha and ElectricTurtle.

If I end up bringing my SNES, it will be on me all the time. End story.

I miss my childhood.
you got it! i'll definitely be bringin my arcade pad for that action!
Vegas Stakes, I have that game too, I also used to have a version for PC, I think 3DO made it.
Yeah I know it kind've defeats the purpose and spirit of this. But if push comes to shove and theirs nothing else, I can bring it in. Plus come on... when has four player TMNT arcade game ever been a BAD thing?

Get the yobo cheapo nintendo clone. It does the job. The nes on a chip as a bit of emulation issues but for the most part it works just fine.

We have a big screen at the hostel we're staying at, so it's possible to host it there pending the staff saying it's cool to have a fuckton of people there
PS. We got about 20 ppl at the hostel willing to participate I'm sure
if it's actually going down, someone can PM me for my phone number.

I will have street figher 2 turbo. Thats all we really seemed to play. I might bring kirbys dream course but that might just be a waste.
