FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Contact Person: Dan Iacovelli Organization: Video Game Summit Telephone Number: (708) 273-6029 Email Address: VideoGameSummit@yahoo.com Web site Address: http://avc.atari-users.net/VGS.html Jagfest planned to retun to The Video Game Summit Chicago, Illinois – (March 3rd, 2008) –On July 19th,1997 the very first Atari Jaguar Festvial (Jagfest) took place 11 years ago in Rosemont,IL. After that it was at various locations in the US. The last time Jagfest was back in IL was 3 years ago at Video Game Summit 2005. While Goat Store's Midwest Gaming Classic had Jagfest from 2003 to this year, and they are doing a good job with it. The VGS Staff felt it's time for Jagfest to return where it's started 11 years ago in IL, specificly at The 2008 Video Game Summit. But we can't do it alone we need your help to make it a success so here is what we are looking for: 1. Jaguars (can't have a Jagfest with out them) at least 8: 4 for network games,2 for cart games 2 for CD games 2. Lynx: Tom L usally supplies the Lynx display,but you are welcome to bring your Lynx collection (were also planning to have DS Party in the Deli all day,more on that come later) 3. Nuon: while it's not an Atari system but it was developed by former Atari employees so it's considered an Atari system,so at leasta couple of them would be great. (we will also need TV's as well) Now being that VGS is small show compared to MGC, we can not give you table spots, you have to pay for your own,but we can make sure the Jagfest section is all togther. If your interested in being part of the Jagfest section e-mail me at VideoGameSummit@yahoo.com Subject: VGS help with Jagfest The Video Game Summit, now in its fifth year,is Chicago's premier Video game and computer trade show that brings together classic and modern generation gamers from all over the country to swap stories, games and to compete in sanctioned tournaments.
