Classic console night 2007

Viscountalpha

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)

So um. no one cares?

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

TomExMachina

If needed a got a multi-tap for 3 player SoM or something. Come to think of it I only got 2 controllers...

Moe Fwacky

We should be bringing at least one if not two projectors for 2007.

Hrm. I should bring my rickety old SNES and sole remaining controller. With any due luck, I'll have finally beaten my copy of FFVI I got at PAX.

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.

Amber Fechko

This year we'll actually have space for classic consoles in the freeplay area, if you guys have any requests in that department let me know and I'll see what I can do.

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.

ctishman

I would advise you to buy a one of these for any freeplay console you bring: Kensington Desktop Lock.

It comes with three glue-on pads that take two days to set.

don't put too much faith in those. i've got pocket bolt cutters that can go through those like butter.

[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.

EvilBadman

Someone should take the initiative to bring a ping-pong table.

doctajohn

hey, anybody know an easy place to get my NES fixed? It has just kinda stopped working over the years.

ya kiddin, right? you can get an nes on ebay for WAY cheaper than what it would take for a trained professional to look at your nes. how bout this, sell it to me for $5+shipping, and you can put that towards your new nes! i only ask because i have repaired about half a dozen nes's lately.

Cheeto

Anybody wanna play some Hey You Pikachu?

Sumi

I'll bring my snes. but which games?

Highfire

Super Mario Kart and NBA Jam

shaq fu!!! definitely some mk action, though. i'd say earthworm jim and dkc3, but those are really single player games, as are most good games from back then.

Sumi

Honestly, i've had this intense craving for Super Mario World.

helmet_ok

Who's up for some commodore 64 action?

Chizzer

I will be more than happy to bring my old Sega Master System

Sumi

My aunt used to have this weird vegas game for Snes that I used to play all the time. it used to have slots and stuff. it was ages ago, does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

Psydrith

Who's gonna run through some oldschool contra with me 8-) ?

DJBreslin

Oh man, I was bored one night at a restaurant and downloaded Contra to my cell phone. Then I started jonesin' for the real thing and I went to a game trader store to pick up the cartridge for the NES we have at work. No joy. I ended up just downliading an emulator and the rom and I've been playing it (and Double Dragon and Punch Out) for the last few days.

I miss my childhood.

Vegas Stakes, I have that game too, I also used to have a version for PC, I think 3DO made it.

Koreth

Lets's see here. As far as classic consoles go I have a working 2600, SNES, Genesis Mk. II, Sega CD Mk. II, and a 32X.I suppose the PSX is old enough now to be considered classic, maybe I'll bring that. Maybe If I'm lucky I'll pick up a working Saturn between now and PAX. If I'm REALLY lucky I might find a copy of NiGHTS, or Panzer Dragoon.

MagicallyStupid

I know this DOESN'T quite sound right, but I have a bunch of classic games on my 360 if nothing else. Smash TV, Paperboy, TMNT, Double Dragon, Doom, probably one or two more which I'm forgetting.

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?

skarsol

NES games I can bring if anyone is really interested in playing one (no way am I bringing the whole bag. :P). I'll not be bringing a console as mine stopped working ages ago and I've been too lazy to get a new one.

T&C Surf Design, Track & Field, Arkanoid, Joust, MagMax, Robowarrior, Strider, Skate or Die, Legendary Wings, Karnov, Blaster Master, Dragon Spirit, Super Off Road, M.U.S.C.L.E., Cobra Command, River City Ransom, Bigfoot, Heavy Barrel, Xenophobe

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.

hamburger helper

So fellas, who's running this then? I really want to take part. I'm bringing my SNES and mario kart with me and really want to throw down.

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

phamtq

I'm always up for some Street Fighter action!

Sumi

okay someone has to let me know about this because im bringing not only my snes but also Pong by Atari.

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.
