What if there was a good game show about video games. A GOOD one, not like “Video Power” (meh) or Nick Arcade (awful!). What I’m saying is, what if something like Starcade came back and they used retro video games and the first game played was Mega Man 1 for the ca$h and prizes.
I imagine the theme song might go a little something like this.
I also imagine that the cast of RetroforceGo might have to be banned from the show since they would probably own everyone’s asses.
Or maybe they could host the show…Come to think of it “RetroforceGo” is a great name for a retro video game game show. (hmmm….) Oh well, time for more Orange Box.
Please don’t mind me…I’m just a little random sometimes.

This is the 2nd year of the tournament, and we have the use of a much larger facility, 2000 sf, with ample parking and easier access from the Maine Turnpike. Last year was a huge success, with a strong field of 40 entrants in the main event and over 75 people in attendance over the 3 days. We had players from all over the country, including the reigning New England Champ, Chris Wamsley from Ohio. This year promises to be even better.
Hope to see you there.
