Title: Turbo-Fest 2010
Post by: chany60126 on May 03, 2010, 04:50:53 PM
Hey Guys,
for all of those who live near the Chicagoland area, I coridially invite you all to an event that I will be hosting called Turbo-Fest. We will have dozens of T-16 games available for free play. Best of all, there will be T-16/PC Engine tournaments throughout. The featured games will be Battle Lode Runner, Bomberman 94 and R-Type. The winner of each tournament not only gets to take home a Turbo-Fest t-shirt, but also a copy of Chris Bucci's Turbo Views that he generously donated to us. It would be great if you guys could make it. Here is our site.
The event will take place July 17th in Lombard, IL at the Heron Point Convention Center. The address is 665 W. North Ave in Lombard. It is in the same parking zone as the Fairfield Inn. Turbo Fest is part of a retro-gaming convention called the Video Game Summit. There will be many people selling retro games and many other tournaments for other consoles as well. Arcades will also be present. This is the website to the Video Game Summit.
http://avc.atari-users.net/VGS.html
Admission is $3, but the price is well worth the admission. Entrance into our tournaments is 100% free. There is no profit in it for us as we don't make a dime off of this. We are just trying to share our passion for this system. We would love to meet fellow T-16 enthusiasts such as yourselves. :)
I know I am posting this in the wrong thread, but I just couldn't resist. I am very enthusiastic about this event. If you have any questions, please let me know.

That is good to hear Hoobs. The Video Game Summit is from 11 AM till 6 PM. Turbo-Fest will be there the whole time. The tournament times for Turbo-Fest are as follows:
It's our very first appearance at the VGS. Lots of excitement is planned for the day.
In unrelated Turbo News, video game champions, Paul Zimmerman and Andy Breyer, will attempt to break the world record for the 7800 version of Asteroids for Twin Galaxies at the Video Game Summit (tentatively planned).

I heard about you guys. The guy who does Jagfest, who is also the promoter of the Video Game Summit, said that a of couple guys used to do a Turbo Fest at the MGC a few years back. He was the one that suggested the name "Turbo Fest." Very interesting. Just curious, what type of activities did you guys do at these Turbo Fests?

It wasn't anything too extravogant. All we really did was have a bunch of Turbo systems and games on display (Turbo Duo, PCE+CDROM2, PC-FX, Super Grafx, Turbo Express). Me and one of the coders here (tomaitheo / Bonknuts) made a special Pong demo for the 2008 fest called Turbo Pong . If you're able to get in touch with tom, he may be able to make a 2010 edition :) (we had a bunch of ideas to add to it, but didn't have enough time to implement them).
You can find some pics of the previous Turbo Fests on these articles I made: MGC 2007 (http://www.lazerdorks.org/stunningarticles/mgc2007/index.html) , MGC 2008 (http://www.lazerdorks.org/stunningarticles/mgc2008/index.html) .
Definitely going to look into coming to the VGS!

Thanks for those pics Keranu. They are fantastic! I would love to showcase a 2010 version of Turbo Pong. I would appreciate if you could give me Tom's contact info.
One of my buddies is actually taking apart a SFIV arcade stick and transforming it so it will become compatible with the T-16. He is even putting a button on each side for some mad pinball action! It is coming along real well from what I heard. I will post pics of it later on. He is going to bring it along so that we can showcase it.

This is how far he has gotten at this point. The Turbografx PCB is all soldered up, he just needs to wire it in with the PS3 board. Then he'll start on a wood case after this.
Will everyone have to use the same controller for the Bomberman tournament or can I bring my own custom controller?
We will have regular controllers, Turbo Sticks, a Python 4 controller and possibly this arcade stick available for use. But you are more than welcome to bring your own controller. Each match is going to have 5 players on-screen. It is going to be awesome :)
We will be playing on a Turbografx+Super CD unit.

My friend is just about finished with another custom T-16 controller that he will be showcasing for Turbo Fest. Here are some pics of it. What a fine piece of craftmanship if I do say so myself. :)
That's neat, but your friend will be in for an unpleasant surprise when he finds he can't get very far in *any* game without a "RUN" button. :|
oh man!!!!!!
I am pleased to see how all of you guys like the stick thus far. We really appreciate the feedback. :)
The run and select buttons will be on the back next to where the cord will come out. He didnt picture that area because he didnt put the buttons in yet. There are just holes in that spot.

All I can say is that my friend is a wizard at what he does. He can take any piece of junk and turn it into a hot rod. But don't take my word for it, come to the show and test them out for yourselves. He might be open to selling some of his sticks.

Here is a sample of some of the extensive work of other sticks he has created for other systems. It is awedropping. He took a Dewalt carrying tool case and turned that into an arcade stick!! Check it out:

In comparison, how big is this show compared to other 'classic gaming shows'? Like MGC.
Lovin' the enthusiasm Turbostar!! Weren't you the guy who did Turbo Fest with Keranu in prior years at the MGC?
Compared to the Midwest Gaming Classic, the Video Game Summit is much smaller. If you attended MGC last year, it is about 35-40% the size of main floor where people were selling games. This will be my first year attending as a staff member.
It sucks that my Duo all of sudden lost its sound. I don't think I will be able to fix it in time for the show since I lack the techinical expertise, soldering tools and gamebit. I've read the repair thread on this site, but still.. At least I have my T-16 + CD, not exactly the most portable system LOL.
Lots of cool events planned for Turbo Fest and the rest of the VGS.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know. I hope I can bring Turbo Fest back to its former glory. :)

The address is 665 W. North Ave. in Lombard, Illinois. It is the sister building to the Fairfield Inn. It is right behind the hotel. If for some reason, you can't find it, just go to the lobby of the fairfield inn and they'll tell you where the Heron Point Convention Center is.

Hey guys, we are about one week away from the show (July 17th). It's not like the big retro conventions such as the Midwest Gaming Classic, but if you lower your expectations accordingly, you will have a great time. Lots of cool tournaments planned.
If you guys do go, make sure you stop by at my Turbo Fest booth.

Hey Turbo Star, you are more than welcome to bring along your T-16+CD. In fact, that is what i'll be using. I was also going to bring along my Duo, but the sound went bad on me at the last second.. I need to find someone on this forum to repair it for me.
We can test your system any time in between tournaments: Here is just a recap of the tournament times:

Overall, Turbo Fest was a great success. The turnout was much better than last year's convention. The people naturally gravitated to our booth since many of of the members of a website that I moderate decided to accompany me. Thanks to DragonmasterDan, I was able to give my T-16+CD unit breaks by using the DUO he brought along.
Battle Lode Runner was tons of fun as the concept of the game is very easy to understand. It took a bit for people to figure what each power up did. It was an intense match, especially five people on screen.
The five-player Bomberman 94 matches were fun as five human players were facing off in each round. Even though we got our behinds kicked by a 12-year old, we still enjoyed every minute of it.
In the R-Type tournament, hardly anybody was able to get past the first level (without using continues). 12 people signed for this tournament, and it took less than 25 mins for it to be over. LOL. Although one person almost beat the third level, hence, his score was twice as much as the second place winner.
One of my buddies created an arcade stick for the T-16 that was out of this world. It had buttons on the side so that you could enjoy some mad pinball action. It played beautifully with Devil's Crush. Pics of it are posted earlier on in this thread.
Here is a link to some of the pictures of Turbo Fest and a few others of the convention in general.
Bigger plans are in store for Turbo Fest next year. I would like to take this event back on tour to the Midwest Gaming Classic, perhaps with the help of others. I will keep you guys posted in the months to follow.
Thanks to all who came out to support Turbo Fest / Video Game Summit ie Dragonmasterdan, Turbostar, Roy The Sunderer, and a couple more I know I am forgetting.

Good times! It was cool meeting Chany, Turbostar and Dan, among others. I totally choked during the R-Type tournament, go figure- I can do all right at home... Bomberman '94 was a lot of fun. I'm new to the Bomberman games and although Bomberman and Bomberman '93 are cool as single player games, it's a blast with 4 other human players. Plus, I got the opportunity to play Magical Chase and some other games I hadn't played before. Good stuff.

Hey Hey!!
Had a blast Saturday at VGS- I should have pix and vids up soon of the event. It was killer meeting Chany, Dan, and Roy, as well as others that I'm not sure are members of the forums.. lol
I'll be better prepare for next years battle load runner tourney!! I shall get my revenge!! HAR HAR!!
Keranu u totally should show up next year!! We were passing around ideas on doing turboFest next year at both VGS 2k11 and MGC 2011. I think it would be kick ass to take the show on a 'mini tour' LOL TURBOFEST TOUR 2011!!
The main attraction of the show was definitely turbofest. Chany had a cloud of people around the lil turbografx and duo the entire show. Yes, even more than the Atari 7800 dude breaking world records streaming live on ustream! (Which I thought was insanely cool)
Turbo Fest ruled! Can't wait to meet up again for some turbo gaming. I'm gonna bust my butt and pick up a Duo-R sometime between now and MGC next year so we can get more systems and TV's for showing off the awesomeness.
PS- What was the name of the gent that won the R-Type tournament? And is he a member of these forums? As luck would have it, while wondering around downtown chicago we actually ran into him and he got my family a great GREAT special discount!! I call it a Turbo Discount! LOL- anyway, just want to shout out to him that he is insanely cool.
take carez all- -TS

It's kind of funny how the show was mostly Atari themed, yet the little toaster that could (NEC) in the back corner, stole the show. Everything worked out far better than expected. With 2 or 3 tournies happening at the same time, it was hard to predict how many would show up to my booth for my tournies. Fortunately, us Turbo guys always stick together. :)
We should definitely start planning Turbo Fest 2K11. The feedback I got from this Turbo Fest really got me pumped up!!

Yeah I don't know his name either, but I talk to him whenever I'm at the MGC and he's really cool. He's gotta have the biggest Lynx collection, even though he says he's not sure. The Lynx table has always been one of my favorite attractions.

The dude's pretty hardcore, eh? The Little Handheld That Could has some lovely gems and a pretty healthy homebrew scene, so he picked a good system to champion.

Thanks for that suggestion, we'll keep that in mind. I think that Battle Lode Runner and Bomberman should definitely be tournament games again. They are insanely fun games with five people.

Ok, so early planning for TF 2k11 is underway. Looking at possibly doing The video Game summit again AND Midwest Gaming Classic in March. Would anyone be willing to help out?
By helping out, really we'd just need people to come in and play games with people that maybe aren't familiar with the Turbo World. Could also bring in systems/ TVs/ games/ etc for play during the event.
PM's to myself, DragonMasterDan, Chany60126, or Keranu if your interested.
