MAGFest - Alexandria, VA

Post by Heiligekuh »

Zero notice on this. I found this reasonable gaming convention (MAGfest - magfest.org ) in my backyard, and brought my 360 VOOT setup (with one set of twinsticks) down. If any of you Oratan folks are in the area, I'd love to play some local matches!

I also have two DCs, VGA adapters, 2 VO:OT discs and a Link cable, but no sticks for that system. :(

Interesting. I may drop by, I live only 10 minutes away.

If you do look for the Speed Demos Archive team. They're holding charity speedruns there.

I was there Sunday afternoon and evening, and it was a great convention. Unfortunately, I did not see any Virtual-On, but I did get my fill of Mario Kart and Smash Brothers (both retro and current versions). I also was not able to locate the SDA team. So I either went at the wrong time, or didn't look hard enough. I spent most of my time in the console room, as I have never played many PC or arcade games. It still was a blast though, so I'll have to put it on my radar for next year, and actually stay at the hotel instead of just driving. I highly recommend it to anyone willing to make the trip.

I met up with one of the guys on the MAGFest staff at an arcade party for another forum I go too, and I should be able to go next year and bring my VOOM cab. Anyone planning on going next year? :lol:

Absolutely. I'm going to have to go for all three days next time because it was pretty awesome. I have no excuse either since it's virtually in my backyard. Virtually...get it? Nevermind... :roll:
