RF Generation Message Board

This is old news for some of you I'm sure.  I found out a few weeks ago that CinciClassic was a definite go for spring 2006, but never remembered to post about it here.  So, there you go.  CinciClassic is finally back after a few years in the dark due to late planning and other unfavorable circumstances.  It will be happening April 7th and 8th at the Fairfield Convention Center.  15,000 square feet have been reserved.  Go here to see what the place looks like: http://www.fairfieldconventionctr.com/rooms/victoria.htm

You should all come, especially those of you in the Ohio/Indiana/Michigan area.  I'm hoping for RF Gen to have a table of some sort set up at the show.  More news on the show will come to you as I hear it.

Make sure you have business cards by then. Hand those out. Also let me know if you need help getting a table.

Someone get me a plane ticket :P

Ditto on the help.

that's right around my birthday. I'm there.

and I'm still waiting on the business cards. they are ordered though.

What are you guys gonna do? Build a table and ship it here?

Cost ? money ? cash needed ?

Got it wise guy  :P


Edit : Of course me and Scott could probably build a table and send it if you want. But it would probably be cheaper to send funds  :D

Actually I was going to build one.

Or I could order one online and have it shipped to Mike.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Leon got  "Pwnd"

I will try with every fiber of my being to make it.  I'll be out of school then, so that shouldn't be problem, but transportation and a place to stay could pose some obstacles.  I'd better start saving up now.

Work out transportation and talk to me about a place to stay.  I can probably work something out for you.  Of course if other members are going to be coming into town, you may be able to talk to them too.

we should get a large banner made too.

If I come alone I'd share my room. If my wife comes too forget about it.

Damn...
I am really going to have to figure out a way to get more cash.
I'd love to make it but i'm already saving for a trip to Rome in Feb '06....

Its great to hear thats back on though.



Like Old Printer dotmatrix style? lol

Or a "real" banner like made with plastic and stuff?

a real one. I'll look into it.

I was already talking to Rick about that.

Sell me your Coleco!

:laugh: Den must have spys Scott  :ninja:

He posted about what we were talking about  :tinfoil:

I'll be there.  I've been looking forward to this for 2 god damned years.  I shant be missing this.

I might have to :'(

We will cross that bridge when i reach it ;)

When I build a table i can build you a bridge.  ;)

I got nothing of the sort. I was 100% serious.
|D |D |D

I guess they don't have a website anymore?

Okay, transportation will be me driving.  Vlad might be joining me, so I'll let you know what's going on with that after I get word from him.  As for a place to stay, I guess I'll leave that to you.  There's no rush, and if you can't get anything worked out, that's fine, I'll get a hotel room.  Let me know if you figure something out.

They do, but it has moved (at least temporarily).  Go to http://www.cinciclassic.org/ instead of the old address at .com.  Apparently the domain on the old one expired this month and the guy that has the ability to renew it is unreachable.

Oh now I see, I tried searching but only came on the .com & it didn't work anymore. I couldn't even get a direct hit for it though, I was finding it linked from other sites.

I'm a little surprised seeing Hozer listed as a vendor. And he's got a webpage setup again.  He was the topic of a large debate a couple years ago on Atariage, when he stopped paying royalties to homebrew Authors. He ended up taking his website offline, stopped responding to all email and only dealing via snail mail. He's never gone away, but he did leave the online communities. So now he's got a simple page setup & coming to Cinncy, should be interesting as news spreads.

I am very doubtful that Hozer will be a vendor at CinciClassic.  That website is not maintained at all.  Several people (including myself) have offered to take over the reigns so it actually is up-to-date, but whoever has it doesn't seem willing to give up the webmaster title.  Anyway, that list of vendors is for CinciClassic 2002.  Take a look at the page again.  They just haven't changed it in that long (which is a shame).

What site are you guys talking about? Who is this person?

If I remember correctly, Hozer Games produced homebrew and hack games in cart form for sale to the general public.  Any game you wanted they would burn to a rom and send it to you with labels, boxes and manuals (I think).

Then a little while ago the guy that ran Hozer was accused of cutting out the authors of the games from any profits that he was getting for the sale of the cartridges.  There was some vile words thrown back and forth, and if I remember correctly, a lawsuit was threatened.  In the end he just closed up shop and hasn't been heard from until now.

It was a shame that it came down to that, because that was a great service that he had that no one else has replaced.  I would love to see an all new Hozer on the scene again.

Thanks for the info.

I'm still surprised he has a web page up again though:

http://www.hozervideo.com/

He use to have a full website with all the games & services he offered, but then he took it all down. He has still been around via snail mail for people wanted to get games made that he offered, but not many people want to hassle with that. He would send CD with his webpage content on it, & pics & prices of what he offered to people that requested it via snail mail. email itself was not an option. So maybe that is an old page, I see now the 02 date at top, but still Randy has a web page up & running again, and email, which I thought was interesting.  

car pool?

I just wanted to give the heads up to those not on the Yahoo mailing list that the new site is up at http://www.cinciclassic.org .  I mentioned that site earlier, but it was just a carbon copy of a page that hadn't been updated in two or three years.  The new site has been completely redone.  It's not the greatest, being that it is done with a PHP Nuke clone, but it is still a massive improvement of what used to be there.

I don't know. I hear these kind of events attract the wrong element. that guy with the upturned collar looks pretty shady to me.

What a waste of wall space i migth add.

Yeah that is an oooooold picture of me.  I'm kinda surprised you noticed it there.  A very select few of you may remember the person standing next to me as a former poster back in the VGB days.  Remember Tekken Mastress?  That's her.

ah yes, I do remember Tekken Mastress. that is a name from a while back.
