AVC Online
US Tour
It was
about 5 years after AVC stopped going to the Ti-fairs and about 2 years after
the Mars Merchandising video game swap meets that the First annual Jagfest has started
at the Ramada INN
at
Here are some highlights from Fest'97:
Jagfest 1997,the one that started the whole thing ,held in
,
for the Atari Video Club. AVC also had the honor of holding pre-fest
dinner at a local Burger king in
Jagfest'97 official hosts were: Jeff Grimshaw, Kevin Manne and Wes Powell
(with Chad Ridgeway maintaining the first fest website).
Highlights of this event was seeing Battlesphere being played in a
network play
(this was before it was finished), hearing Tom Harker talk about Battlesphere
and AirCars, hearing that a new company called Visual Dimensions 3D was
interested in making games for the Jaguar and Lynx.
Besides the games I mentioned a couple of Telegames games were
also being shown like World Tour racing, even though Carl Forhan
wasn't even known back than as he is now he had some body show
off his new lynx games Ponx, SFX and Planar Wars.
Some com-lynx gaming was going on with War Birds and Cal. Games.
We even got to see the first Movie by Fard.
I didn't stay long though I had to leave at 4pm.
I estimated about 40 people have attended for this event.
