Title: 2014 Midwest Gaming Classic
Post by: Bardoly on January 22, 2014, 09:38:09 AM
So, who's going to the 2014 Midwest Gaming Classic (http://www.midwestgamingclassic.com/)?
It will be on Saturday & Sunday, April 12-13 in Brookfield, WI (near Milwaukee).
Unless something happens to our schedule, my sister and I should be there again this year. Last year was our first time to attend, and we really enjoyed it.

I'm planning on it...and bringing another local (to my area) along to meet the obey heads. Don't worry, he does not drink as much as me. It's been too long since I was able to make a MGC...I canceled a tourney for it...it's serious, yo.
Save the Spotted Cow, I'm coming!

I was planning to finally attend this year, but it looks like it's not going to happen once again.

Barring any setbacks at work, I should be there.

For those looking for more info, please check out the official site here (http://www.midwestgamingclassic.com/) for booking hotels and convention hours/events. It's shaping up to be literally, the BIGGEST event yet!!
This year we're looking for even more input and participation from everyone coming! We're opening up the Museum/gaming area longer for more gaming and enjoyment!
Returning to MGC is TURBO FEST! An entire room dedicated to everything NEC. We're going to have a rokken banner up with promotional sponsorship from Aetherbyte, The PC Engine Software Bible, Epona Soft and a cheap plug for the HuPack's HuCast. ;)
If anyone is looking to participate, loan us games/consoles/projects/books/toys etc or whatever at the time of the convention we'll gladly add them to our event!! Just let myself, Matthius, BlueBMW or Jeffy Lewis know via PM or email. =)
Can't wait to hang out with everything again this year!!

I'm hoping to make it. I just started a new job and want to get a little more "cred" in there before asking for some time off (I'll likely drive up), but I think it's a "probably" atm. Very excited to see y'all again!

If you have a whole room, will you need more systems? Or are doing gun games + turbo in the room? I can pack up a system if we just want MORE. A Shuttle or Duo can fit easy on my carry-on, not like games take up much room.

We could definitely use the shuttle! That'll look super sweet!!
As for a solid list on consoles/games to bring -I'm sure we'll move around some things regarding the plans for the event, but for now the more you guys can bring to be involved, the less crap I have to bring with. ;)

I'm in as always, along with two buddies who are coming to help out with the museum room. I'll be manning the lightgun area again this year, though luckily it sounds like we'll all be in one big area vs. being split off into hotel rooms like last year. This should be the best one yet based on what we've been told by the powers-that-be.
On a sidenote -I've been tasked with trying to get volunteers for an All-Sega and All-Neo-Geo room for the show...I've reach out to a few people to try and get the ball rolling but was curious if anyone either 1.) knew of someone who'd love to help do this or 2.) wants to do it themselves.
For the rooms - what we need is someone to take the reigns and organize the setup of the room (what games go in, sourcing the TVs, systems and games, etc).
Please PM me or respond if you guys know of anyone or if you're interested yourself.

Usually it starts around 10 or 11am on Saturday I believe.
Since we're all in the same general vicinity this year (vs. the distributed room setup last year) we should all meet up at some point. Maybe Saturday night?
Majors - any beer requests? ;)

Roundhead Pizza in Lombard, IL is another top tier one. Not sure if you are aware or not, but we have been going to that restaurant after every VGS and Octurbofest. I like their deep dish a lot more than Giordano's.

Seeing as we'll be about an hour and a half north of Chicago for the show, you're going to REALLY want some pizza to go that far ;)
Everything around the Brookfield Sheraton is chain restaurant central - I think Mati's talking about a Pizzeria Uno that's a block away from the hotel.
If people are interested in exploring a bit, there's much better options when you get outside of the Brookfield area. And if anyone is in town a day early, I live right downtown in Milwaukee and have a spare couch to crash on.

Quick bump. We are a little more than six weeks from showtime! My retro senses are already tingling. Here is some info on areas some of your very own PCFXers are passionately arranging for at this time.
Classic Gaming and Computer Museum
The playable Classic Gaming and Computer Museum is one of the most exciting, longest running exhibits at the Midwest Gaming Classic! This one-of-a-kind museum contains one of the largest collections of systems from the very early computer & TV systems all the way up to modern systems such as the Xbox One, Playstation 4 and Wii U! Unlike most museums where you can just look but you cannot touch, this museum has almost every console for you to grab a controller and play! Whether it is remembering the fun you had with a Colecovision or an NES when you were younger, or if you want a chance to try out a system that you never got to play like a TurboDuo or a Vectrex, the Classic Gaming and Computing Museum allows you to play all of these and more! What Will Be There?
In 2014, the Midwest Gaming Classic Museum will be expanded even more than 2013! The Classic Gaming and Computing Museum even includes many additional displays throughout its hallways. Basically, the mantra of this unique ‘wing’ of the show is that if it can fit a gaming device, it probably will! New for 2014, the CG&CM will feature a new 3,000+ square foot exhibit featuring some of the most popular attractions from years past as well as some new ones! These include the following:
The classic Electronic Entertainment Museum (E2M) museum will return with classic computers and game consoles from the earliest pong machines up until the NES. The popular Midwest Light Gun Association (MLGA) will return with an even larger display full of some of the most popular light gun games including Duck Hunt, Elemental Gearbolt, Crossbow, Deadstorm Pirates, and House of the Dead 4. Prove your virtual street fighting prowess in the MGC Fight Club! Play current and classic head to head fighting games ranging from Super Street Fighter IV and Killer Instinct to cult classics like Astra Superstars. See the best in overseas gaming in the Nippon Import Group’s section where you’ll find classics like the Famicom Disk, oddities like the FM Towns Marty and Sharp X68000, as well as more recent popular imports for systems like the PlayStation 2. The Versus Room returns in 2014 with even more score chasing and tournaments including the popular Midwest Tetris Championship! Console Wars will pit various consoles against one another on Saturday like just who had the best version of Street Fighter 2, and then on Sunday many of the popular platform mascots will make an appearance including Mario and Sonic! A new Shmup the Core! area will be added in 2014 featuring some of the best in shmup gaming like MUSHA, Gradius, and cult favorites like Keio’s Flying Squadron. A new Friends & Enemies area will feature the best in co-op and competitive gaming across most genres like sports, fighting, action, puzzle, and first person shooters.
This area will also feature the return of several standalone title exhibits including 10-player Saturn Bomberman on multiple TVs! The CG&CM will also feature rooms spread across the entire MGC including one of the most popular and long-running exhibits, the Underdog Chamber, with its extensive Quake and Steel Battalion networks. The LAN Room will return with a slate of popular first person shooters and tournaments including Call of Duty: Ghosts. There will also be a number of different fan-led rooms for some of the most popular companies including a room dedicated to Sega and its platforms, the popular Atari Jaguar Festival (Jagfest) will return, as well as additional rooms that will be announced in the weeks ahead! Overall it is going to be a big year for the MGC’s Classic Gaming and Computing Museum, so be sure to watch us in the coming weeks and find out more about how you can join the group that puts the museum together!

Yeah, I usually miss the pizza gathering be it VGS or Octurbofest/Gallaping Ghost meetups. Not to dis your pizza place, but Roundheads uses a frozen crust.... Yeah, I know I'm a pizza snob!

But Stella on tap. For me, the "stuffed" pizza is over...I'll stick with stock pie. It's cooks faster and I'm not left with massive leftovers. Still, noobs gotta get it at least once.
As for the frozen part, I'll wait for Yelp-master Dan to chime in.

Just a few notes, last I knew Roundheads was not using a frozen crust for their stuffed pizza.
With regards to "God Tier". You mentioned four chains which have wide variation from day to day let alone location to location.
Lou Malnati's varies wildly from location to location with some serving extremely soggy over buttered deep dish. Not only that but sometimes you're practically just getting unseasoned stewed tomato's on top of your deep dish rather than anything that resembles sauce. I've experienced non-soggy pizza with actual sauce and soggy pizza with tomato chunks on the top from the same location (near my office) before.
Uno's (the original and Due) are generally pretty good but the franchised locations are completely different using different preparation processes and ingredients.
Rosati's varies wildly from franchise to franchise with some locations making things almost entirely differently than others.
Giordano's has some wide variation as well. I've come across many a burned stuffed pizza there, heavily unprocessed sauce (not to the same degree of tomato chunks found at Lou Malnati's mind you), among other issues. Even the Glen Ellyn location has really inconsistent sauce where sometimes it's a thick mix of tomato flavor with good seasoning and a solid viscosity other teams being a thin layer of red grease coming up from the cheese below.

It's a true [German style] lager as Bernie said, There isn't really anything to similar to it, that I can think of off the top of my head anyway. the best way to describe it is a rich amber like description they use. The original clearly not for the light bear drinker, It's got a slight hoppy, but still dry, sweet unique flavor. Use to go to school and hour away from the brewery. Made a good Saturday run. hmmm fresh beer.
http://www.yuengling.com/our_beer/
They do make several other flavors including lighter and darker beers, but good luck finding them outside the Mid Atlantic. ohhh and Fl. I to believe they have a brewery down there.

Yuengling is a "lager", much more so than the piss water that Miller and Budweiser sell. But don't get it twisted - Yuengling is still very much a bargain bin purchase. I lust after it though because it's not sold in the Midwest and I'm nostalgic for it because we used to drink that back in High School growing up. It's just really good, cheap beer.
Living in Milwaukee has made me the biggest beer snob on earth, though. We have more microbreweries in this town than I know what to do with.

I think I opened a can of worms with this one! I have not noticed the wide variation of quality you listed at all and I've eaten these places routinely for years.
Lou Malnati's - I usually eat at the downtown Naperville or the Elk Grove Village locations. The pizza pie is consistently been the same at both locations. I have noticed that if you order the deep dish to go and let it sit 20 minutes before you eat it, it gets soggy. Eating it fresh in the restaurant is never like this... maybe since it never leaves the hot metal pan the pizza sits in.
Giordano's - Consistant from location to location.
Uno's - Consistant from location to location.
Rosati's - Same consistancey no matter where I ordered from in the Chicago area. I can't speak for any other location outside the Chicagoland area... (I.e. Champaign IL??)
Everyone has their own opinion and I respect that. Sorry you got some bum pies from the places I mentioned as I really enjoy all of them. We live close enough to each other we should meet up sometime and talk games and I'll buy the pizza.

Yep, you're within walking distance of my house. We can definitely figure something out between now and MGC.
Even though Gino's East is a tourist trap shithole, this recipe is actually really really good: Gino's East Style Pizza At Home (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rYatMHC0N4#)
I like Gino's East. But I've run into slight inconsistencies there as well. About 8 times out of 10 it's good, 1 time it will be a little off, and 1 time they'll ruin it.

My fallback goto is High Life. Like 420goat, I also have many personal attendants that keep it on hand and cold for me about everywhere in the US.
A local store starting carrying Stoney's as an alternative to PBR. (http://www.stoneysbeer.com/images/our-beer/products-stoneys.png)
My neighbor who moved down from the north swears by Old Style (http://eatit-drinkit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/can-of-old-style.jpg)
I had *a lot* of High Life back in college so whenever I have drink that now it reminds me of the good/bad/ugly old days. Mostly good.
I used to drink PBR, but I think because its so popular with the hipsters these days, the price has gone up. Stoneys doesn't look like a cheap PBR alternative. I'll keep an eye out for it.
I've never tried Old Style either. The sad thing is the local "discount" beer and liquor store charges more than the local grocery store. And the local grocery store has a pretty limited selection. I have to drive a good 15 minutes away to find a decent selection, and I'm just too lazy for that.
Back on topic, I'm still planning to make it up to MGC this year as well, though the crystal ball is still a bit hazy due to work craziness and me not being with them very long.

Turbokon, any chance I could get you to mod one of my Duos while we are at MGC? Remembering to bring my converter is always a hassle and I am terrified I am going to lose it at one of these shows. I haven't decided if I want to mod my Duo-R or Turbo Duo. I think I need Beamer to open my Turbo Duo anyway to fix something. Hmmm decisions decisions. :-k
If you just want to relax at the show I will completely understand. I'm not hard to get along with. :)

We actually might have a need for some extra systems in the museum area, though if you're running components we'll probably need dedicated TVs for those as the standard sets we have generally are composite. Like Mati said, we can check with the powers-that-be and get back to you.
We try to run better video connections where we can but it gets tricky when not everyone has modded consoles and we have needs for 50+ displays sometimes.

I was thinking more like a persistent Skype session. I could be on a rolly cart someone would push around, or perhaps in the basket of a mobility scooter that someone could ride around.
But beggars can't be choosers! I'll settle for a scheduled type thing. :lol:
That's how I envisioned Tats' "attending" of MGC a few years back. BlueBMW would chaperone this floating head of a Swiss man, living in Japan, around the show. I found that so hilarious to the point of being unhealthy.

Until the show moves to a downtown area and a larger conference space, it's kind of stuck in this weird conundrum of having tons of people attend (think it was close to 7,000 last year) and wanting to grow more, but being landlocked into a medium-sized conference center hotel. The event LITERALLY takes over the entire hotel, from top to bottom. They could probably grow the show by 50% or more in one year with a bigger space.
That said, it's a blast. It's a really unique show in the sense that it's not heavy on corporate sponsorship - really it's just a lot of dedicated fan groups and volunteers who keep it going.
If you live in the Midwest you have no excuse - make the trip!

Curious about if any of you (more of you?) are interested in bringing a console, some controllers or even possibly a game to play for the event. The TurboFest area should be more similar to what we've held in the past at VGS and OcTurboFest. Anyone that brings stuff is likely to be getting some goodies for helping out. :) Let us know.

After talking with JD a bit more on the subject of 'Turbo Fest', it sounds like this year's MGC event will be a lot more like our VGS and OcTurboFest gatherings. We can pretty much just change out whatever games we want to use whenever and play whatever we want.
That goes along with game tournaments or challenge high score things. Any requests/ideas for some competitive games to play?
I always suggest Sonic Spike tournaments, but that's just because I think the game is really fun. :)
Title: Re: 2014 Midwest Gaming Classic
Post by: DHG Hunter on March 21, 2014, 08:11:18 PM
Hey folks,
Sorry about not stopping by earlier!
Yes, the idea is that the Turbo Fest can be placed in its own hotel room this year - much like how we had the MLGA and Nippon Import Rooms last year - where you can fit at most 8 consoles with TVs and basically run whatever you want in the room so long as it isn't like Steam-Heart's or something pornographic. You can also hold a party in the room Friday/Saturday night if you like.
The trick is that since the show is a two-day event, we need people that can bring TVs and game systems that will either be there both days, or enough people that come just Saturday and just Sunday to fill things out. We also need someone to be in the room at all times... Not just to keep an eye on your stuff, but also because we do get people that come in and have questions about the game systems at the show. If that's possible, then I'll set aside a room for you guys to run the Turbo Fest. I will need to know pretty soon if there is enough interest, though.
Let me know who is bringing what, and I'll see about getting you guys in on some of the museum perks depending on participation.
Later.

What Jeff said. Also if any of you end up finding and bringing TVs please consider donating those you don't want to the show for future MGCs/Turbofests. Your TurboKarma would increase dramatically if you should do so. :D

I'm packed and will be leaving tomorrow night. Josh, Beemer, Jeff, Nectarsis, myself and co. are going to have our work cut out for us on Friday. We all need to give these guys a hand, for this year we have climbed the totem pole and have been given more responsibility.
BlueBMW has invaded MGC with his SHMUPS section. Jeff Lewis fires out the Midwest Light Gun Association Bartre is uppercutting showgoers with the 2nd annual showing of Fight Club _JoshuaTurbo celebrates 27 years of NEC consoles with Turbofest And I am importing the best from Japan with the Nippon Import Group
Give these guys a round of applause. They deserve it.

Just got back from the Sheraton - round 1 setup is done. The real fun starts tmrw bright and early. We have a mountain of CRTs in the room.
Our space this year (old arcade area) is a huge upgrade over previous years - we'll finally all be in one spot instead of spread out. should be awesome!
Turbofest is room 178, BTW - if you were there last year it's directly across the hall from where the lightgun/imports/fighting rooms were last year.

We rolled in around 1:30 CST into room 379. I walked down to our area just to snoop around and saw you guys got all the tables up. Thank God! Some of those were such a pain last year.

I showed up about 15 minutes before the place opened and ran into Dragonmaster Dan walking outside. We both pre ordered our tickets and were able to skip the huge line and walk right up to the entrance.
All the guys in the Turbofest room were awesome, as usual. Lots to see and do there. BlueBMW had a loaner prototype copy of Atlantean to try out, which was cool to see. Plenty of other games and systems set up to try. I bought a reproduction Magical Chase HuCard from Chop (Thanks man!).
The convention seemed a lot bigger than last year. I think it has outgrown a the space at the hotel and they organizers may have to find a new venue for next year. Lots of pinball games and arcade games to play. Virtually every home console was there in some shape or form. Plenty to see an do!
I only spent about $16.00 total on some cheap PSP games in the vendor hall. Only about four vendors had PCE/TG16 games. Most of the games on hand were bottom of the barrel crap and Japanese RPGs. One of the vendors had some quality PCE, SNES, and Megadrive games but his prices were on par with ebay or higher. Saw a few TG16 systems missing the rear cover going for $90.00 each at a few tables. No rare USA turbo games at all.
It seems that complete boxed US SNES games are on the rise. I was on the lookout for a complete Contra 3 and the cheapest I found one was $99.99. Looks like I'll settle for a loose one.

I feel like we need nametags next year for the PCEFX'ers; I always miss meeting a few of you guys every year. Tried to make it down to the Turbo room as much as I could but I was stuck running my area in the museum 3/4 of the time. Great to see old and new faces as always.
Regarding the potential to move the show - the show outgrew the Sheraton 2 years ago honestly. Unfortunately there's a number of legit factors that are preventing an immediate move somewhere bigger...I'd probably get killed if I went into detail on a public forum ;) The powers that be are definitely aware of the situation. My hope has always been that they'd move it from Brookfield to the Delta Center downtown in Milwaukee (selfishly so that I could walk 5 blocks to the show). It's a much better, wide-open space and has big-league facilities for loading/unloading. So people wouldn't have to push arcade machines, boxes and huge TVs up stairs, through doors and around corners and whatnot. We'll see what happens.
The flow was WAY better this year - we didn't have nearly as many logjams as years past; hallways were clear for the most part. Moving the vendor hall I think was the right choice, even though it was a freaking monsoon this weekend and the rain/flooding combo pissed off some vendors (rightfully so IMHO). You can't predict mother nature I suppose.
Our museum space was a huge upgrade - we were busy all weekend and Beemer, Mati and Bartre's areas of the museum had a prime spot right out in the main hallway with tons of foot traffic. We had Eugene Jarvis come through and play games in our space which was awesome...spotted some recognizable YouTube/Podcast folks, along with Trickman Terry and Sushi-X from old school EGM.
Lightgun area did awesome again this year, even though I had bad luck this year with equipment (2 dead lightguns, smashed Time Crisis footpedal, dead PCE CD-ROM2). I had House of the Dead 4 running on my 55" LED LCDTV, which was busy pretty much 24/7.
I had to make 2 round trip truckloads to get all my stuff back...that damn LCD took up my entire back seat in the cab. Thanks to Turbokon, Majors, Bartre and Chris (Windy Gaming) for the late night beers after all the packing and loading insanity. I didn't get home until 3:45AM and made the genius decision to go into work this morning on 2 hours of sleep. I still have that 55" LCDTV in my backseat, haha.
Thanks to everyone who came! Pictures to come soon.

Couldn't agree more on the new layout working a LOT better. I still say IF it ever moved into Milwaukee proper the best place would be by the airport, close for flyers, plenty of hotels, food, etc.

Back from the show! What a time to be had! After the 15 hour set-up on Friday I was f*cking exhausted for most of the show but I am certainly not complaining. Had a great time! Probably spent the most I ever have at the vendor hall this year and I'll get pics up soon. It's ridiculous!
Thanks to Bartre, Jeff Lewis, Josh, Beemer, Nectarsis, and my wife for making this year the most awesome classic gaming show that has ever been staged (yes I am biased). Sorry for anybody I missed.
Two points: 1)Nullity, you were there??? Why didn't you introduce yourself, you turd! 2)Chop, why oh why didn't you show me one of your MC repro-hueys?

I got to play it. Its basically a remake of the old Defender game in an underwater setting. Instead of a space ship, you're some kind of mechanical dolphin. If you have ever played Defender on the Atari 2600 or in the arcade, you've played this game.
There was some nice parallax scrolling near the bottom of the screen. I thought they could use more variety for the background graphics though as it repeats a lot as you fly to the left or right. The control of your character feels like a drunk on ice trying to roller skate...

It's always a blast to hang out with you guys. The show was a nice place to have a meet-up.
Having been my first MGC, I can't really comment on the need of a larger venue, though it was pretty packed and spread out. And I felt really bad for the vendors when the entire floor was a giant puddle in their area. And it was freezing out there on Sunday.
My hotel charged me more than the reservation I made almost a month ago and 8 hours into my drive home I got a speeding ticket, but it was still worth going.
Much good gaming. Much good conversation. MUCH good beer. :)

Yeah, I know it's a remake of Defender. I'm the one who is making it, lol.
If you think Atlantean feels drunk, you should play the real Defender at an arcade. I made the whole inertia thing a lot more forgiving.
...did you make it to the mine field or bosses? or the alternate level art?

You could make bank charging for couch space...make moneys during MGC to spend moneys at MGC.

So much. Sucks about the tix and the over charge.
I got back home 8pm Monday. Took a bus from MKE to ORD since the flights looked better for stand by. Was a blast, glad to see all my northern obey brothers, plus meeting new ones. Only dropped $13 in the dealers room on Xserd and Super Daisenryaku, both of which I was looking to get.
Looking forward to Octurbofest and the next MGC already. Any southerners should look to Animazement(self promoting!) and MAGFest (<-lacking in obey, but still a 96 hour party).

We're not Pax or E3 obviously, but that's on purpose. The show is very much a community/volunteer event. Admission is cheap, gigantic vendor space, everyone's friendly and having a blast all weekend. Everything you see in the pics - arcade machines, consoles, etc. are all brought by people who just love to be a part of the show. It's all out there and free to play for everyone.

How are the prices on the games out there? Any reasonable deals to be found? (excluding bargain bins obviously).
If you take prices at face values, the mega rarez are going to cost the same as eBay pretty much - uncommons generally are a little cheaper than eBay and common games can usually be had very cheap if you look around.
The whole trick with the vendor space is to buy in bulk - you have to be able to haggle with the vendors (they expect it) and/or bundle up 5-6 games together and ask for cash off the whole bunch.
For example - I bought about 5-6 boxed Famicom games at the show that would have cost me $55, but I was able to get away with paying $35 because 2 were missing manuals and because I was buying in bulk. Those same games shipped from Japan on eBay would have cost like $60 or more.
If you're after stuff like a CIB Earthbound though, expect to pay and arm and a leg. A lot of times those "showcase" games are listed for gonzo prices and they don't sell (last year some guy had EB for, I think, $700).
Sidenote - the best deal at MGC - if you ever wanted an arcade cab, wait until like Sunday at 5pm and you'll get a STEAL on them - nobody wants to take those f*ckers back home.

Post by: Senshi on April 21, 2014, 05:47:20 AM
Awesome, thanks for the info. I'm not looking for one of a kind, i just don't want to be charged 30 dollars for some common game. The buy in bulk is the way to go for sure. I've gotten reasonable deals at other retro shows that way as well.
