see ya all soon!

Rick

yay! chunkout 2 competition coming right up! winner of the competition will receive a one and only NWCGE Chunkout 2 cart... that is if it makes it to me in time (tomorrow afternoon).

SO, only way to get this way limited edition cart is fly to Oregon on Saturday, practice up and compete for the cart on Sunday. Just wanted to say thanks to Brian and James for making this Cart happen and I will be sure to photograph much of the comp and promote the hell out of retrousb.

thanks guys.

@rick,
what time is regular setup start? I am thinking of just driving up saturday morning cause I still have A LOT of pricing and testing to do.
Josh

and just wanted to add that if I don't have the cart in hand by tomorrow that the winner will still get the cart... I will just have to ship it to him/her/it

Josh

^ "It"?!? Will robots be competing in this contest? (and furthermore,how astronomical are the odds that a girl will win?)

I didn't want to leave anyone out

You should definitely hop on a plane and be here tomorrow though, this show will rock.
Josh

'It' may be between genders...

Whoops, PM

Chunkout 2 NWCGE limited arrived today. Just the one cart folks... and you gotta win this! big thanks to james and brian for getting me this.

Josh

got to play chunkout 2 for the first time at our show! i really dig games that this, very SWEET game! i got to play it once on sunday before i played it in the contest and got like a score of 180,000 my contest score was over 200,000 i came in 2nd place and got a copy of the game. want to personally Thank all who made this game for our show.

would love to work out a deal to have a special release for next year.

thanks

Rick

Hey, no problems Rick, great to have my game played

On that note, if there's other people willing to host a Chunkout 2 competition at future expos (including AGEExpo hint hint), I'd be willing to donate a limited edition competition cart as a prize. (note I'll only be donating 5 of these carts in total).

Hopefully Josh will have some pics up here soon

Unfortunately my camera was on the fritz... john (aka swlovinist) took a few fotos from DP and I hope he can post them here. I really wish rick would have won this as he really deserved (IMHO). Anyway, the kid who won it seems to have won everything at the show, including my dreamcast kiosk. Rick, stay in contact with him and it will likely end up in your hands. Anyway, Zzap and bunnyboy, THANK YOU! the cart looked great and I am so happy to have had the event and the prize was top notch. I hope AGE holds a competition for an SE cart as well. Chunkout 2 homebrew is BY far the best (in my opinion). Keep up the good work James!
Josh

Bummer to hear about the camera, I hope to see some of John's pics then - is he likely to drop in and post them here, or has he posted them on DP already?

Sounds like the kid was a game whiz, good on him for giving everyone a run for their money

Thanks for the praise, and thankyou for running the contest!

i came in 2nd place in the contest, but i managed to buy the cart off the winner.

once again BIG thanks for making this special cart for our show!  i really love these type of games!  i wonder if this game can be even done on the Atari 2600? seems simple enough.

Thanks!

Rick

lol, I may be able to port it to the 2600...the original Chunkout was on the Gameboy Colour

i'm sure you'll sell many of them if you did! i would buy more then one! 

Rick

And where do I get a copy of this?

Depends if you want a physical copy or not
