JagFest '98 Newsletter #2 - 3/20/98 Second Annual- ///Round 2 Welcome to the second Jag Fest newsletter for 1998. Big stuff is up in the world of the ‘Fest...more specifics, more attractions, and more Jaguar fun! Enough of this boring introductory junk, let’s get to the goods... ///8 Jag Network? You Bet! Thanks to Guy Dupre, Jaguar fanatic extraordaniare, we’ll be certain to have an 8 Jag network for the Fest, with 8 copies of AirCars, as long as ICD delivers before August 1st ;-). In fact, if enough other people bring Jags, we’ll be able to have 2 8-Jag setups running simultaneously! I wonder what the record is? But, we’ll still need TV’s for every Jag, and that’s where you come in. Bring a few, at least one for each Jag you bring, and an extra if possible. The more the merrier! If you decide to bring a monitor, make sure it is one that is CatBox compatible, such as the Atari SC1224/1435, or has composite inputs like the Commodore 1702. Here’s a list of Analog RGB monitors which work with the CatBox: Atari SC1224 If you have questions, please e-mail me at KevinManne@wycol.com. Guy has also agreed to bring his Scuba virtual-reality helmet (designed from the never-released JagVR), and even to make some Jaguar t-shirt transfers if he has the time/capability. Go Guy! ///Dentec Agrees Looking to buy Jaguar games at the Fest? Well you’ll have no problem doing so since Dentec, a Canadian-based company, has agreed to attend and sell their large selection of Jaguar games at the Fest. For more info, check out their page at http://www.dentec.com/WarehouseSale/. They have great prices on even hard to find games like Atari Karts, and may even start carrying the new Telegames titles! Score another for the JagFest! ///Shareware Gets Cheaper Scott Walters, of BJL modification fame will be attending JagFest 98, and with him will come some BJL Jaguars at a special JagFest-only price of $99. So, for everyone who was a bit weary of buying a modified Jag, you can come check out all the games at the JagFest, and then pick one up right there on the spot for a lower-than-ever price! ///Definite Date Set Just in case you hadn’t checked the JagFest homepage since the last update, the date for JagFest ‘98 has been officially set for August 1, 1998. Be sure to mark your calendar.... ///Take My Games...Please! I’m working on getting some Jaguar games and accessories together to give out as door prizes, and for winners of competitions. I only have a few things so far (T-shirts, a Team Tap...), so if you’d like to contribute anything, please contact me (Kevin), and I’ll put your name up in lights on the JagFest page :-). ///JagFest Contributors With Chad unavailable to help the JagFest cause, I took over updating the page (which has an updated look, so check that out), and some others have chipped in to help out. Gotta give a “shout out” to the following kind folks: MHz (Newsletter Dispatcher) - Has agreed to
send out the JagFest newsletters via his Dave Homenuck (Tournament Coordinator) - Will
organize all the game tournaments at Guy Dupre (Hardware Guy) - Thanks to Guy, we'll
definitely have an 8 Jaguar network ///Promotion! I’m getting some flyers printed up this

some full-color laminated posters only for the very special places.
