angusjake Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Thats great news!! I want to strongly recommend this event to everyone in the Pacific Northwest. I have made the trip from Vancouver for the past few years and it is well worth it. Rick, Lee, and the others who organize this event do a great job in putting on a really fun event. There is something for everyone so be sure to spread the word and I look forward to another great event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angusjake Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 How about AA making the trip up this year? I'll even offer to bring some genuine Canadian back bacon and maple syrup as an added bonus - anyone? anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjessop Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Sounds like a great event. The problem is it's the weekend just before E3! Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 How about AA making the trip up this year? I'll even offer to bring some genuine Canadian back bacon and maple syrup as an added bonus - anyone? anyone? Considering it, it's going to be a busy spring! PhillyClassic 5 is coming up in a month, and then Midwest Gaming Classic is two weeks before NWCGE2K4. That's a lot of traveling in a short amount of time, and we're also making preparations for AGE2. I've never been to Seattle before (closest I've been is to Portland), so that would be fun. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackratVG Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 If anyone is still wondering whether or not they should attend NWCGE 2K4 in May, here's another reason: These and several other games will be released at the show! Sincerely, Jarett Waite Owner Packrat Video Games www.packratvg.com P.S. These are only prototypes, so the final versions may differ slightly. Also, X3V0LuX will have an end label .

I picked up a bunch of not-so-rare carts along with Skeleton+ and NWCGE Invaders. Sorry I missed you, angusjake, (and sorry I didn't meet the lady in your avatar.)
