RF Generation Message Board

is anyone going to this event on april 8th. i was thinking about going since ive never been to a show.

I'm going.  |D

I'll be leaving Detroit at around 7 am and hopefully arriving before noon.  I'm going to bring my meager trade box, so if anybody needs any commons, I'm the guy to see.

I wanted to really bad.

I won't be able to though.
Hopefully they run it again next year and not in another 5.
Though another longer might be better off for me....

Too bad it isn't over Spring break.

Then again, I do have alot of scanning and shit to finish over that time.

Where is this event taking place?  I would love to go but this is the first I've heard of it.  Is there any websites about this? thnx

The old thread: http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=classic;action=display;num=1128009383;start=31#31

The site: http://www.cinciclassic.org

Thanks....wow,guess Im out of the loop! I might be going....I have a lot of things going on at home right now, but hopefully I can drive up.  

I'm planning on going.  

I don't know how many of you are on the mailing list, but apparently Good Deal Games is premiring a new Sega CD game there.  Now I have no choice but to go.

hmmm, maybe I can sneak off that weekend too.

Well good luck to Sauza on picking up the new Sega CD game ;)
I am sure Scott is going to want one of those.

If I can save up enough money, and talk my wife in to going, I'm going, too.

I'll most likely be there as well.  

any of you Cinci boys going?

can someone move this thread to the game forum?

I'll be there.

zinnggggggg

Methinks we hit the move button at the same time, Scott.   |D

Anyways, I am not currently intending on going, and if I do you'll be certain to know that Eddie will be drug along with me. If anyone going has the buisness cards, you should pass them out.

I ain't going, collecting old games is lame ;)

Den if you are going and need more cards I can send some to you.

You still going to be at Ray's on Friday?

yup.

I've still got a few hundred left. I should be good.

you guys need to show up. Sauza and I will hunt you down if we don't see you at the show.

hell, admission is free.

WTF Admission is free and they are not going! SLACKERS!!!!!! j/k

I wish I could go.

Well, is it bad that I had no idea where the Fairfield Convention Center is?

Since it is in Fairfield, everyone who isn't from Cincy should take the time to stop at Jungle Jims, which is also on Dixie. It will be a grocery that you'll never forget.

If I can get Eddie to go, I will go.

Off topic replies (the tangent) have been moved to [link=http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=off;action=display;num=1144287977]This Thread[/link] by TraderJake.

I'll be at the event on and off this weekend. Look for me. I'll be promoting intolerance and inciting violence as usual.

:laugh:

Looks like I wont be going one of my co workers is off work due to illness so I cant have any time off.. I hope to make it to a show one day.

I'm going to the show and Pimpin' out the RF

Look I got Quoted :) YEAHHH

Someone should be :)
Thanks for taking it upon yourself ;)

Congrats on being in the news article too :)
Thats pretty damn cool.

We Need to have a RFgeneration Meeting place :)

I say we just hang around the AtariAge booth and bother them :P

you guys and gals that go will have to post some pics

I should print out a bunch of cards or something for this. It'll give me a chance to use my laser printer. I knew I didn't just buy that thing to compensate for the size of my penis.

I'm bringing whats left of the RFG business cards I had made up. I'll give everyone a stack so we can pass them out.

a few more couldn't hurt if you want to play with your laser penis... I mean printer.

That only works if it's a color laser.

Well, even if we can't decide on a meeting place, I'm coming in my Dencorp brand RfGen hat, so I shouldn't be too hard to find (theoretically).

Especially if you have the updated version.
Since we have more than Nearly 20,000 games in the database.
;)

I'll wear mine too.

they look a little something like this:

I wore the hell out of my RFG hat. (thanks Den)

It's kind of grungy at the moment, but myabe if I wash it  :-/ (hmmm)

I WANT ONE :)

Mine is pretty dusty....
I haven't worn it in a month or more at least....

I should break it in more.
(We sould really get opne of those little stores opened up online to sell these ;))

And some shirts!
I like Den's shirt design too  :)

If I show up, I'll be wearing either a Mega Man Shirt or one of my three extremely geeky shirts.

FYI for those heading here from outside of the region:
Gas as of today is between 2.69 and 2.75 in the metro region. As such, look out for cheaper prices, or, if that is cheap, get your gas here.

I just paid 2.85.  Indiana sucks for gas prices.  

BTW, that means fill up before you hit the Dayton area.  Gas is usually cheaper out in the counrty, and there isn't any of that after you hit Dayton.

^ He Speaks the Truth

The Points of No Return (Interstate wise) are:

I-74: Brookville (last exit in IN)
I-71: N: Wilmington (Exit 50ish)
        S: Walton (The 71/75 Merge)
I-75: N: Piqua (Yes, Piqua)
        S: Walton (The 71/75 Merge)

Past those points you are entering Sprawlopolis, and are subject to the prices of sprawlopolis.

Well, it appears as though The Perl, the Evil Leon and I are going to be making an appearance around 1:30ish tomorrow. The Perl will be wearing his RF Generation hat. I'll... be accompanying the Perl. Look for us.

Don't forget to visit Jungle Jim's afterwards!

ooooo I got sooo much stuff tonight
I got my Spiderman 32x lots of gen boxes and some Neo Geo stuff,  also a Vetrix system.  YEAH CINCI CLASSICS

Congrats!!!! Was that the last 32X game you needed?  

Does Vetrix = Vectrex?

Take some pics!!!! How big is this show?

Damn it!  That is an exact list of stuff that I wanted to get tomorrow!   :laugh:  Nice grabs!

there are like 4 or 5 more Vetrix

Stopped by the convention for a couple of hours with TraderJake and The Evil Leon today. We met up with Den and Sauza and also found Shadytool there as well.  Had a great time looking over all the rare consoles and games and chatting it up with our fellow gamers.  And we of course went out for some famous Skyline chili afterwards.

It was great meeting up with the fellow RFG members and finally getting to talk to you all in person.  If this happens again next year, I'd definately be up for going again.  Here's a quick picture we shot of me, Den, Mike, and Dave.  Leon and Rick managed to avoid my camera.  |D

The Cinci Classic was a great time. Sauza and I left Detroit about 7:45 and after stopping for lunch hit the show about noon. I picked up about 17 games which I'll post in the Treasures forum later. I could have bought a ton more. It was pretty cool seeing so much stuff in one place.

I also took a few pictures which I'll post tomorrow.

As Eddie mentioned and provided visual proof of Sauza and I hooked up with him, TraderJake and the Evil Leon. It was a blast meeting you guys and finally getting to put a face to all those names.

I gotta admit, having spaghetti with chili and drowning in cheese seemed a little odd at first but it was pretty damn good. I suspect if I were a Cinci boy I'd be dining at Skyline Chili quite often and most likely weigh about 400 pounds.

I got to meet several other people from here, DP and even the VGB days.

from RFG:

Sauza12 - my partner on this awesome road trip
St0rmTK421 - the great genius himself
TraderJake - doesn't like the spaghetti chili???
The Evil Leon - the name fits folks... trust me
Shadytool - gave me crap about the Lions signing John Kitna
Douglie007 - wants an RFG hat

from DP:

Big Daddy Chester
Downfall
Sniderman
CueWarrior - Sensei Fu over here
Wizdawg

and from the old VGB days

Tekken Mastress

Damn fellas, sounds like a blast!
One of these days I gotta make one of these events.

Eh, I don't eat chili period. I figure if I order a small 3 way every time I go perhaps then I will be able to eat one in its entirety. At least I eat LaRosa's Calzones like they are Candy.

The classic was pretty neat to go to, and I got to see a lot of systems and games that I had never seen in Person before. I also learned that people on synthesizer boards can be really, really shitty, and I need to touch up on my Donkey Konga skills.

yeah, Cinci Classic was the first time I ever saw a real Vectrex. seen plenty of pictures but that was the first time I was actually in the presence of one.

I also saw one for the first time in real yesterday at the Retro Computer Dag...it was running some recently released demo I think.  Pretty cool graphics and sounds :)

here's one to confirm The Evil Leon was in fact there.
he's the guy trying to look like he was not in the picture. (black jacket)

here's a few more random shots of the show.

some home made looking Nintendo units.

.

an Adventurevision. the guy wanted like $5 bucks for it. I thought that was a little high priced so I passed.

.

and a couple balcony shots of the show.

.

:o :o :o

Was stuff over priced?

Thats what i was thinking.

And was that a typo or did you really think 5$s was too much for an adventurevision?

I don't know anything about it so i am just wondering.

It was a joke.

thanks for explaining it to our young friend.

prices seemed fair to me. I wasn't really looking for any expensive stuff. the most I paid was $15. everything else I bought was $6 or less.

here's a couple shots I grabbed from the Cinci Classic site.

anyone still around from the old VGB site may remember Tekken Mastress.

here's one of Sauza and I both reaching for a business card to give to Jeff Thomasson of Good Deal Games.

Damn!

Looks like alot of fun to be had.

Great pictures guys, thank you for sharing. I wish I was able to make it. It looked like you guys really enjoyed it.

 The Black Perl, Dave, and I met up with Sauza and Den and we checked things up and down. I think we all picked up a few games. The convention was pretty big. It's grown quite a bit over the last few years.

Cinci Classic was a blast!  I spent more than I probably should have, but it was a special occasion.  Screw financial responsibility.

It was actually a little overwhelming seeing all of that stuff in the same room at the same time.  I spent most of the time wandering around trying to figure out what to look at first.

It was great to finally meet so many people from the site.  Just remember, if you guys ever come to Detroit we have to hit up a bikini bar or two.  |D

I really had a lot of fun talking to other people at the convention about the site.  Who would have thought that marketing for the site would be an enjoyable activity.  Not only was it fun to meet new people and let them know about the site, it also strengthened my resolve to get more scans and info turned into the site.

Assuming Cinci Classic comes back next year, you can count me in for sure!

If Cinci Classic comes back next year i hope to be there.

the show was a ton of fun, i won the dr mario tournament and got a NEX system out of the deal

Congrats and very nice.

i have to agree about the vectrex, i dont think ive ever seen so many in one room at one time.  my friend bought one for sixty bucks, which may qualify him for deal of the year honors among the two of us

It was pretty cool meeting everyone at cinciclassic from the boards here.

sauza, i believe that a vectrex was auctioned off for around $50 on saturday night.
not a bad price at all.

Son of a bitch.  Why do I have this feeling that Vectrex will haunt me until I'm 80 years old?
