Jagfest 1999 held in Rochester,MN on June 18th,1999
Since the first two Jagfest was so good somebody decided to hold another.
Here are some highlights from Jagfest 1999:
Jagfest
1999, held in Rochester, MN, on 6/18/99,
hosted by Carl Forhan (Songbird Productions) and Miach Rowe (AKA ET Hunter on JI)
Carl also did the Website for this fest and Kevin Manne set up a main page for
Jagfest
in general. (The old fest site from the first year got changed into this
one).
AVC was able to attend this one, but we did have two major problems:
1. Due to printing problems copies of the fest issue wasn't available
but was displayed and request was being taken at the fest for them
and 2. due to scheduling problems with Carl and myself
AVC's annual Atari Mania competition for the fest has been dropped
and later used as a on-line competition.
Highlights: BattleSphere (again), Protector and Sky Hammer made its official
appearance at the fest;
Gorf 2k on a BJL was being ran.
The tourney that was held as follows: Tempest 2000,
Breakout 2000, Zero Five (which was won by Clay hands down)
and a couple of 2600 and 7800 tourneys.
Dealers
were also welcome to the fest besides Songbird, Zentanyx Multimedia,
plus some others but weren’t able to attend.
As for the Atari Mania competition it was won by Ratko Jovivic.
Below are some pictures I took at the fest:
