Rowsdower70 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I'll be manning a vendor booth this year. I've been doing my best to bring plenty of Atari stuff, along with Intellivision, NES, Sega, SNES, n64, etc.I will also have a "dollar bucket" with lots of commons or damaged labels for those who need shells. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I'm pretty sure I'll attend, and I'm pretty sure I'll lug at least an Apple IIe along. I still haven't signed up yet, partly because I'm notorious for procrastinating and partly because I've been dealing with some health drama. But things are looking up and I've already pencilled in days off from work, so, hoping to see y'all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'll get a chance to play one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Getting my consoles set up for next weekend. In the past I've used these Cable IDs: and attached them to the paddles: as it helps people quickly figure out which corner they're playing: However, they have a habit of sliding down the cord so people still had trouble figuring out their corner. So this year I picked up some mailing seals, and printed the color of each shield on them: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Spicewire, those cable IDs are a great idea! Looking at the game list, I see you're bringing two 2600's and a 7800, among other things. I wonder if I should bring one of those along too, in case Albert doesn't make it this year. I'm committed for three systems, but I think I have enough room to squeeze four in my car. I could bring a second 7800 and even some Genesis controller adapters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Thanks! I'm busy getting systems together today and decided to print up some more: Al's not planning to attend this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I've got the INTV III packed up and ready. I made a three page printout of the overlays for the games I'm bringing, and laminated them. I figured it was much easier than keeping up with overlays.Here's a preview: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Al's not planning to attend this year. I'll see about shoehorning a 7800 and another box of games in my car, then. I'll invest in some stickers too so we can keep track of what's whose, in case cartridges start intermingling. Albert, you will be missed! I've got the INTV III packed up and ready.
