AVC Online announces the return of two Atari Jaguar Festival items for the AVC newsstand at Cafepress.com

 

Westchester, Illinois – (3:37 PM 8/27/2009) – At the 2003 Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee, WI,

AVC Online showed the cover of the final Jagfest issue and being sold at the show the next year.

 

Three years later, at the same show AVC Online introduced the Jagfest “Tour” shirt in the same

style as the concert tour shirts that lists Jaguar festival dates from 1997 to 2007.

 

Recently, AVC Online had held a cover design contests for Jagfest issues #1 to 6 and has announced the

reworking of what was the final fest issue which now known as the tenth anniversary issue for the

Atari Jaguar Festival. This new book like it’s predecessor will have the reports from past shows,

but it won’t stop at 2003 as it did in the final issue, it continue to 2007 plus it have a Jaguar

rarity guide courtesy of Jason Smith of Jaguar Sector-II (http://jaguarsector.com) as well as a

“look back section” that will reflect on the progress on the show changed over the past ten years

from people who attended it.

 

This new book will only be available via The AVC News Stand in the Jagfest Section at cafepress.com

( http://www.cafepress.com/avcnews/1338959 ) Also to commemorate the release of the new book AVC Online will

also be bringing back the Jagfest “Tour” Shirt with new front design to match the covers of the Jagfest issues.

You can either buy the book and shirt together at a low package price or by them selves also at a low cost (TBD)

The release date for these products is slated for some time in September (TBA at later date).

 

Currently I am looking for the following things to help finish the book:

1) any pictures from the overseas shows (2000 to 2007)

2) reports and pictures from any show from 2004 to 2007

3) reflections on how the show changed since it’s inception in 1997

(Also if you want to include an ad in the book,

please e-mail me first so I can give you some details)

 

I will not be taking pre-orders for the book, but I will be having waiting list set up.

Those who are on the list will receive a ten dollar E-certificate from cafepress.com that

will be used toward the purchase of the book when it is done.

To sign up for the list: E-mail me at [email protected] :Subject: Jagfest waiting list,

[Dan Iacovelli]

Just got started on the rarity guide section with air cars:

this is the basics of how the page looks with a review:

Screen shot of the game

guide listings for the game

Review

(if I don't have a review or screen shot the guide listings

will just be there,so if you want review to be included in the book that

I don't have(I would keep you updated here and on JS-II if I don't have a review and or a screen shot)

let me know)

I already have a review of air cars from wes powell that was used in Jagfest issue along with screen shot.

(if you have a better review for let me know I would replace it)

Also I'm doing the software section in two sections instead of together

one section is for cartridges one for CD's.

Quick update:

The tour shirt goes on sale in Dec

(book has been pushed back due to the fact theres too much to add to it(a late Dec is best I can figure)

if you're on the waiting list you already got my e-mail about getting the first crack at the tour shirts

or waiting for the book so you can get both together(you will still get e-cert for the book even if you

went for the tour shirt before the book)

with that said, the waiting list will still be open but it will only be the book since the tour shirt will be

available before the book.(when book is released the waiting list will then be closed)

[Dan Iacovelli]

[Dan Iacovelli]

the tour shirt is now up in the shop in the jagfest section

(sorry for the lateness, net was bouncy all morning and I finally got the shop set up)

Progress on the book is going nicely, I had some time yesterday when the net was totally down

to add some E-fest pics (2000 and 2003) added dan loosen's look back article (4 pages)

and going to start work on my own look back article today.

(I'm also going to work on rarity guide section as well today, if anybody has a review arena football and like it to be added

those wondering about the page count so far

Jagfest section(main part): 143

Rarity guide section: 6

look back section 4

(I still have add jagfest connection to book but right now I only working on what Ihave then the newer

jagfest stuff which was prob left out of the first final jagfest issue will get added)

[minux]

Hey there, Dan. Quick question for you, are you ever going to do a collection of all the JagFest issues into a single copy?

[pacman100000]

are you going to do the collation on 2600 games

[Dan Iacovelli]

@minux, the new book is a revised version of the original jagfest issue,not a collection of Jagfest issues. though they do have new cover now and available at news stand.

@pacman100000, Sorry there will not be any 2600 games reviews in the book. strictly jaguar games.

[Dan Iacovelli]

first, book is getting pushed back some time jan 2010(no specific date,this is due to work and other matters)

Second Jagfest section up to 161 pages.

[Dan Iacovelli]

I'm looking for reports from Jagfest 2004 to jagfest 2007 now

I also need reviews for Atari Carts,Attack of the Mutant Penguins, and Barkley Shut Up & Jam.

these are carts not CDS, as Iam doing carts first then cds then the rest

Cool...

[Dan Iacovelli]

[Dan Iacovelli]

last 2 days to request your shirts for MGC

[Dan Iacovelli]

Request for Tour Shirts are now Closed those who have requested the shirts will be notified.

[Dan Iacovelli]

T-shirts came today and they look great, thanks to those who have requested their special size to be picked up at the show

[Dan Iacovelli]

I didn't notice on the tour shirts but there is a typo on it: the date for vgs on the shirt for 2004 is 6,17,2k4 it's supposed to be 7,17,2k4.

those who got those considered them as collectors items. when the section reopens the shirt will be fixed.

[Dan Iacovelli]

bumping this topic to announce that AVC Online has opened up the requests for Jagfest Tour shirts (white only) (for MGC and VGS)

go here: http://avc.atari-users.net/Events/News_Stand_Request.html to request your shirts

(it also being used for VGS shirts they won't be sold at mgc though)

[Dan Iacovelli]

with demise of jag sector II, the 10th anniversary book will be put on hiatus since I don't have the price guide from JS-II.

some good news, work is being done on moving jagfest issues to mag cloud if all goes well you can look for them

before MGC (and with luck have it on display at jagfest section)

if some issues fall short of the limit on pages I'll add a few jaguar retro ads into it.(instead of having blank pages at the end)

[Dan Iacovelli]

happen to find the price guide on wayback,copied the information and saved it,so the price guide will continue for the anniversary issue

plus I can do second version of the jagfest isuues with guide inserts instead of jag ads
