Who would have figured that another group of people will get together to host another Jagfest.
Here are some highlights from Jagfest 1998:
Jagfest
1998, held in Corfu, NY on 8/1/98,hosted by Kevin Manne and Dave Homenuck.
(Chad was again in charge of the fest site).
I wasn't able to attend this event but I appointed
Dane Stegman as AVC representive for the fest.
It also marked the first Atari mania competition for the fest
(The second annual Jagfest issue was also available).
Highlights: Battlesphere and Air cars were again back for showing.
Other new games were being shown: Worms, Iron Soldier 2, and Zero 5.
This year also marked the first of Jagfest tourneys
(scheduling problems made tourneys impossible to hold last year with
exception of a pong tourney between Kevin and Wes).
The tourneys are as followed:
Tempest 2k(which was used for the Atari Mania
competition which was won by Wes Powell), Super Burnout (won by Wes Powell),
Ultra Vortek (another tourney won by Wes),
and Psychedelic Pong Championship
(won by Kevin Mosley).
Jaguar dealers were allowed at this event like Dantec and
Dark Knight games.
(TNT terry for the Lynx was also being shown,
as well as Gorf
2k on a modified BJL jaguar)
Attendance for this event was estimated at 40 to 50
people
