Atari Kaarts? ;-)

 

Lol, you do know Kaarts is German for Karts :P

I meant of course in "Kaarst". My German geography is not so good :(

 

The twitter message is from 5 October so the decision was indeed made quite recently. But now 10 days later I would have expected an announcement here.

Hey guys,

 

I'm sorry for the confusion and the late "official" announcement. Like "masematte" already posted, the date and the location has changed that much more people can come to the ejagfest 2012.

 

Latest news:

 

I hope to see some of you soon at the ejagfest. A press release will follow later this week. I still wait for some information regarding the shown highlights.

 

cheers,

Björn

 

 

edit: Note: the official website is not updated yet, because I can't reach Lars (who is in charge of this).

+++ Press Release +++ Atari Jaguar Europe Festival 2012+++

*** approved for immediate publication ***

 

 

 

 

Announcement of the Atari Jaguar Europe Festival 2012

 

 

 

The Atari Jaguar Europe Festival, "ejagfest" in short, takes place on November 24th of this year in Duisburg (near Düsseldorf), Germany.

 

 

The Atari Jaguar Europe Festival is an annual festival for all Atari Jaguar and Lynx fans, developers and retailers. Open-minded fans of other video game systems are welcome, of course.

The „Atari Jaguar Europe Festival is a meeting of retro gaming fans from all over Europe. The focus of attention is Atari and all consoles of the cult lable. All of you who would like to play systems like the Jaguar, Lynx, VCS 2600, 5200, 7800 or on a trusty homecomputer of the 80s, this is the right place.

Retro games, homebrew announcements / presentations, prototypes believed to be lost and demos of all kind can be experienced on the ejagfest. Developers from all over Europe regularly take the opportunity to present their new developments on the festival, and sometimes even have exclusive items for sale. Another highlight was the presentation of the only working “High-res Jaguar Virtual Reality Headset” in existence, which was shown for the first time in Europe on the ejagfest in the year 2007.

Competitions such as “Club Drive” or “Kasumi Ninja” make sure everyone has a fun time. Next to these fun competitions, the official European championship in “Checkered Flag” for the Lynx is taking place each year. To make the event complete there are retro game retailers to offer Jaguar/Lynx titles and a variety of other retro games and systems.

 

 

Highlights of this year:
