Side Bracket
What is it?
In addition to the tournament,
Evan has graciously offered to bring some of his favorite retro/vintage consoles and games!
He's also lugging along two 27" Trinitrons for that authentic Cathode Ray Tube experience!!
What systems and games will be there?
While this is not an exhaustive list, here are few highlights:
The Doom CD32X Fusion project was born out of a desire to push the limits of the 32X.
As such, CD32X Fusion requires a so-called Tower of Power setup – consisting of a Mega Drive/Genesis, a 32X, and the Sega CD add-on.
In many ways 7 Wonders Duel resembles its parent game 7 Wonders.
Over three ages, players acquire cards that provide resources or advance
their military or scientific development in order to develop a civilization and
complete wonders. What's different about 7 Wonders Duel is that,
as the title suggests, the game is solely for two players.
Absolutely. Contact us if you would like to have it listed here too.
