    The Columbus Retro League will be holding the 2015 NES/SNES Columbus Championships as part of the Columbus Toy Show and Gaming Expo on Saturday, September 12th from 9am - 5pm. The tournament will feature the following Nintendo competition cartridges:

    Nintendo World Championships 1990 (NES)
    Nintendo Campus Challenge 1991 (NES)
    Nintendo Campus Challenge 1992 (SNES)
    Nintendo Powerfest 1994 (SNES)

    This will be the first time (to my knowledge) all four Nintendo multi-game cartridges will be featured at the same time. The overall winner of the event will recieve a Retron 5 courtesy of L1 games, while the winners of each individual cartridge will recieve a prize pack courtesy of the Columbus Retro League.

    Admission to the Columbus Toy Show and Gaming Expo is $5 after 9am ($8 for early bird admission at 8am). All show attendees get one free attempt at the 4 cartridge gauntlet. Additional attempts are available to Columbus Retro League season pass holders.

    I like how your fondest Nintendo memory is the event itself. I think it's time for an emergency NYPWP episode with a reference of Beau Bridges & Christian Slater chasing you around America.

     

    emergency episode was recorded the morning after i got that call. it will not be released until after the finals on sunday

     

    i gave the pr person 2 answers for that question, part 1 was a throwaway joke, part 2 was poignant and therefore not published :/

    Also at CORGScon this year, the Columbus Retro League will kick off their second season with the CORGbuster Video Game Championship - a reenactment of the 1994 Blockbuster World Video Game Championship.

    Entry for this tournament will be free, but the CRL will be selling Season 2 passes for $30. A season pass covers all entry fees for each of the 9 tournaments on the CRL Season 2 schedule (normally $5 each), as well as a Columbus Retro League T-shirt.

    well... here it is.... 4 years and 50 episodes of content boiled down to one three hour podcast.

     

    A huge thank you to everyone who contributed, especially nurmix who helped me out with a bit near the end.

     

    I channel David Letterman in this episode since he will be retiring in May after 33 years on the air. He was my comedy hero when I was in high school in the early 90's, and I am going to miss that cranky SOB.

    I really want this episode to be special, so I hope to hear from everyone on the infamous AA thread.
