Jagfest planned to retun to The Video Game Summit
Chicago, Illinois - (March 3rd, 2008) -On July 19th,1997 the very
first Atari Jaguar Festvial
(Jagfest) took place 11 years ago in Rosemont,IL. After that it was at
various locations in the US.
The last time Jagfest was back in IL was 3 years ago at Video Game
Summit 2005.
While Goat Store's Midwest Gaming Classic had Jagfest from 2003 to
this year, and they are doing a good job with it.
The VGS Staff felt it's time for Jagfest to return where it's started
11 years ago in IL, specificly at The 2008 Video Game Summit.
But we can't do it alone we need your help to make it a success so
here is what we are looking for:
1. Jaguars (can't have a Jagfest with out them) at least 8: 4 for
network games,2 for cart games 2 for CD games
2. Lynx: Tom L usally supplies the Lynx display,but you are welcome to
bring your Lynx collection
(were also planning to have DS Party in the Deli all day,more on that
come later)
3. Nuon: while it's not an Atari system but it was developed by former
Atari employees so it's considered an
Atari system,so at leasta couple of them would be great.
(we will also need TV's as well)
Now being that VGS is small show compared to MGC, we can not give you
table spots,
you have to pay for your own,but we can make sure the Jagfest section
is all togther.
If your interested in being part of the Jagfest section e-mail me at
VideoGameSummit@yahoo.com
