Octurbofest
« on: August 14, 2012, 12:08:52 PM »
The Video Game Summit was a blast. It was nice seeing familiar faces as well as new ones. But why wait until MGC for another turbo gathering??

That's right, Turbo Fest is back, but this time with thrills and chills! Behold: Octurbofest!! Now at a new venue, we will be rocking it out at the best and largest arcade in the Midwest, Galloping Ghost Arcade.

Admission to Octoberfest is $5. Upon entering the establishment, ask for Turbo Fest, and they’ll point you in the right direction.  If you want access to the arcade it’s an additional $15, but all the machines are set to free play and you can stay as long as you want. The event will take place on October 20th. The address of the arcade is 9415 Ogden Avenue in Brookfield, IL which is only a few miles away from Chicago. The show will start at 12 PM and end at 7 PM.

Come experience some of the best games on CD and hu card, including the Super Grafx and many more. And of course, no Turbo Fest is complete without the fun 5-player Battle Lode Runner and Bomberman 94 matches. Plenty of turbo/pce systems will be available for play.

Come join us for an obey filled day of fun.

Let’s keep the good times rolling!


SignofZeta: What a quintessentially PCEFX thread. Someone complains about nothing, multiple Bible-length posts discussing who's a bigger a$$hole follow. You're both pretty big a$$holes. Let's call it a tie.

Love the name! I'd like to attend but I'm not sure I could justify the cost of driving halfway across the country for a 7 hour event.

Why aren't any of these events between April-September?  Just figured I would throw out the sugestion, even if it kills the fun name.

It would be a hell of a lot easier to justify the trip if I could get some nice weather fun in as well, specifically a baseball game!

I drove 16 hours for it. :mrgreen:  I can't guarantee I'll be at this one, if I go, I'm probably going to fly. :P

I'm hoping to organize a similar type of get together maybe in the Raleigh, NC area this Fall as well.  I just started a new job, but hope to find a location for the event soon.

Man, I really want to go up to this.  I had a blast this past July.
