First Spear Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 OK, nutty idea of the day. If "Intellivision Day" is Decemeber 3rd, then it would be good to have a kind of "Intellivision Weekend" gathering in July. 36-48 hours of Inty game play. Whether it is a part of an existing 'con or something we can have on our own, I think it would be great to give our favorite console visibility to the uninitiated and also have fun with people who love the same games. Thoughts? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdu Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I've always wanted to plan / have a gathering at FUNSPOT, the largest arcade in the world. It is Laconia, NH. I have never been there. I hear it is great. They also are the home of the American Classic Arcade Museum.... http://www.funspotnh.com/ http://www.classicarcademuseum.org/ I'm not suggesting a convention, but rather I was thinking more along the lines where it be cool to pick a day and set up a room there maybe to have an "INTELLIVISION DAY" event there... a number of us could gather with a whole bunch of Intellivision systems and promote the Intellivision systems and its games... offer free play, answer questions, maybe sell some consoles and games to new Intellivision fans... sort of like an organized swap meet maybe? Just an idea... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thoughts? Although its not in July, I think PRGE is the Intellivision weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 A meeting is not a bad idea. How else are you going to play Sea Battle, Biplanes, and many of the original sports games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Mr. Bee, I agree that PGRE is becoming "the thing". However, from what I gather from the latest Intellivisionaries episode, those that go end up working the booths and can't even get enough time to go to the bathroom without orchestration. I am thinking of something like "Christmas in July" in terms of timing, a way to do something in the summer. Kind of like Kansasfest for the Apple ][ folks, without real product expectations, just playing and spreading the word that the console is alive and well. Plus PGRE is on the west coast which is not super-accessible to the right half of the continent. Although its not in July, I think PRGE is the Intellivision weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humblejack Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 If you are looking for a place that is not East coast or West coast, then how about the middle of the US. Geographic Center of the United States. The Geographic Center of the United States (contiguous 48) is located about two miles northwest of Lebanon, Kansas. Take US Highway 281 north 1 mile, and turn west one mile on K-191 to the maker that has been erected at the end of the paved road. www.kansastravel.org/geographicalcenter.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 But then we'd have to go to Kansas Chicago could be a decent option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1980gamer Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 We need a northeast event! I was planning on going to the Philly Classic ( many years ago ) but it didn't run the following years.. NyC, Hartford, Boston... Any would be nice. Opcode is in the Boston area. Plus you can all visit the place with 10 major champions over the past 15 years. Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox and Pats!

1980gamer Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Deflategate is like global warming. Ask someone with half a brain to do a little bit of science and we come to the truth. Spygate, Filmed from 12 feet away from the designated filming area. ( that is correct, you can film!, it is from a designated area, ) what else you got? Oh, take a look at the Steeler/Giant game this year... Both teams "cheated" Footballs at 10psi and illegal communications during the game. Humm, GoodSmell said that the game temp was 42 degrees and that would explain the PSI.... No penalty, What was the game temp for deflategate? I'll let you look that up..... To bad we win everything, you the rest of you losers are still playing 2600 games! LOL Just having a little fun! Though it is easier when you are on the winning side! Remember, I am a life long Sox fan. Yup, we hated the Yankees like you hate the Pats. It's all good! Let's get an east coast event! Philly Classic 2.0 would be great! Hell, Go Eagles! And 76ers! Remember "Beat L.A. Beat L.A." Phillies too! FUCK the Fliers,,, Bobby FUCKING Clark! LOL Nice Smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+the1hatman Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 lol, I'm no Pats hater. I say take any and every advantage you can because everyone else is anyway. Cheating to get an edge is a football tradition. No sense getting mad when someone else is simply better at it. It's just fun to watch the more insecure Pats fans get all in a tizzy when you bring up their sordid past. They'll post 10 paragraphs of denials and make believe technicalities to dismiss it all rather than just owning it and saying "Don't care, got rings chumps!" like any reasonable group would.
