Midwest Gaming Classic 2003
At this time Jagfest ened being a stand alone event
and started piggybacking on other events
and became known as Jagfest On Tour
Well being this my first trip to the Midwest Classic I’ll be brief:
I left my house around 7:30am with my jaguar/CD and most of my jaguar games. (I did stop for breakfast at IHOP but I’m not going to talk about that) I arrived at Jean Nicolet high school where the show is around 9:30am and starting to get ready for the show. I came across a couple problems though: first, me and Terance Williams (Force Designs) needed an outlet to run our jaguars and one wasn’t available that was close so Terance went looking around for power cords he found one but it didn’t reach the outlet luckily we found an open outlet on another cord and we shared that.Btw: Terance showed off Gorf pluz and Mad Bodies both games rocked the Jagfest section. Then, I had trouble with my Jag controller the pins were bent but Terrence fixed it and that helped out a bit. The third problem was getting the table set up to look nice but I think I did a good job with all the stuff I had.
I also thought I wasn’t going get a comlynx thing going but one of the attendees who I talked to on the MWC forums was kind enough to lend me his Lynx and robosquash game and that went well. I also stayed by my table to take request for BI/WN .Battle sphere and Primal Rage (Protector SE was being played most of the day for the use of the tourney)
other things I saw at the show was the pinball machines was cool My sibs played a couple of games while they waited for me toward the end of the day. I also met up with Bohus Blahut ,his table was right by mine(for those who don’t know he is also helping me with VGS) he brought some cool items like a stand up DC store display and various other items. It was cool to see the Japanese fellows who came to Jagfest 2k1 and Jagfest2k2 they brought the same items that they had at both shows. I saw some guys that I know from the boards also.(we didn’t have any name tags so I can’t be sure who they are) I also talked to Matthew Baker (Gunstar) who won the Robosquash tourney (many people played but not entered)
A couple of downsides to the show was that there wasn’t much food available at the show, no name tags (Terence and I was the only people with tags from Jagfest2K1) and as for dealers I only saw Goat store there others were individual selling stuff(they had trading tables set up for people who want to trade). Overall the show was pretty good. I ended up leaving at 6:30pm since it was starting to wind down around 5pm.
