For those that have been practicing, get to CGE tomorrow! Scores so far in my contest have been relatively low (average ~200k) with the max of 1.6M. I will post some pict links later...
There is a show in Cleveland (Midwest Classic Gaming Expo) or whatever that is usally pretty good. CGE has always been in Vegas except for like one year it was in San Jose.
Ja 2005 was in SF bay area (10 miles from my place), but they said they are never leaving Vegas again. I think it is lower attendance because of local people, higher attendance from everyone else because there is so much else to do. 2006 there wasnt a CGE so they could take a break (and Joe was starting his physical store).

That would have been awesome to go, but it was just too far away. Chances are I would have gotten too nervous playing and scored in the 1 million range.
wow. looks like a lot of fun. Wish I could have been there this year. I guess I get to look forward to next years... who knows what the NES homebrew scene will be like in a year!?

Right on. I've spoken with Al over at NES World and want to try making a game. I don't know how successful I'll be, but if it works out, that'd be cool.
I think 1st won $50 cash, an NWC repro and a USB adaptor, 2nd won the same, less the cash, and third won just a USB adaptor. I was watching it at the end and the top two guys played each other over and over side by side (starting at the same time) right up until the buzzer. It actually felt like a small scale NWC.
And I love how NGD still sports his giant grin even when he's gaming

Did you get the email I sent you with the .zip file? Al
Very cool idea bunnyboy! I think I only played it 3 times at CGE and never really made a good run, 600k was my best I think. The NA guys would have destroyed the competition, lol. That is why we need to make a stronger appearance next year.

NGD stops by! (sad score of 364070) http://sealiecomputing.com/images/ngdnwc.jpg
Er, is his shirt really backwards or did you flip the image deliberately?
My wifes sister playing:
And me getting pitiful score: (yes I was posing, no I don't play like that)
Still didnt get into top 3, which is currently 2M, 1.6M, and 1.3M
Final scores were 2.1M, 2.0M, and 1.6M. My next hardware project is a box to trigger multiple NES systems at once...

Is it the same group as the Las Vegas one?
Thanks for the updates and pics.

Oh, and what did they win? A pat on the back and a kick in the ass?
These must have been folks that have played this game many times before. Are they Nintendoage forum goers?
