JagFest '98 Newsletter #3 - 5/13/98 Second Annual- /// JagFest 98 is just around the corner! Just to bring everyone up to date, and inform those who haven't heard, here's the vital JagFest info: Quick details: JagFest 98 will be held on August
1, 1998, in Corfu, NY. /// Media Blitz Telegames has agreed to send out Fest flyers with orders! I should send them out later this week (hopefully tomorrow), so look for some flyers like the one I have on the JagFest page with your orders from Telegames. Too bad I didn't think of this sooner so they could be sent out with Worms. Oh well... ***** Brian Rittmeyer (bcr@servtech.com) posted this at Jaguar Interactive: The Star-Gazette is a Gannett newspaper in Elmira, N.Y., about a two hour drive from the site of the second annual Jaguar Festival in Corfu, N.Y. I will be writing a story in advance of the festival on the interest in Atari and the Jaguar, and plan to attend and cover the festival itself. The stories will appear in our paper and possibly others through our wire services. I am interested in interviewing Atari/Jaguar collectors on what they like about Atari, the Jaguar and the idea of an "underground" game movement. (I'm familiar with some of these things myself as I am a 2600 and Jaguar owner.) If you happen to live in our coverage area I would be particularly interested in talking with you. Please e-mail me with your name, the city and state where you live, and a phone number where you can be reached and I will contact you in the next few weeks. I'll try to respond to everyone, but if I get a flood of responses to this post I may not call all. While I am currently planning on contacting Telegames about their Jaguar projects, I would also be interested in hearing from other companies or individuals developing games for the Jaguar or other Atari video game systems. Our advance story would likely run in late June or early July. Thanks for your attention. If you would like to learn more about our paper, follow the link below to Star-Gazette Online. http://www.star-gazette.com ***** Look for the Fest in the following publications: Jaguar Explorer Online Fandata The Atari Zone FanMan's ConFormation Guide /// Tournament Time... Many of you probably don't know what to expect when you show up in Corfu, NY, on August 1st. Aside from meeting people that you'd recognize from Jaguar Interactive, Atari Times Boardroom, usenet groups, and so forth, there are many fun things planned. One of these is a series of tournaments that will test your Jaguar skills. We will test your speed, strength and ??? (yep, there's a mystery tournament that most of you won't be able to prepare for!). The tournaments are currently in planning stages, but they are already guaranteed to have lively competition. Everyone who attends should feel free to enter the tournaments, even if you're not a "pro". ;) Further details on the games involved will be disclosed next week. /// Prizes We're still getting the prizes together, but here's some of the things that are in the works: Behind Jaggy Lines (BJL) Modified Jaguar /// Jaguar Voice Modem Prototypes! Yes, it's true...the hardware Guy has come through again. On display and in use will be a prototype Atari Jaguar Voice Modem! This is one thing any true Atari/Jaguar fan won't want to miss out on! Hopefully we can set it up to play against someone who has another modem and isn't able to attend the Fest. I'll pass along any info I get on this. /// Annihilation Time ...and so closes the third issue of the JagFest Newsletter for 1998. Things seem to be going really well, and I am very pleased with the response I have received about the Fest from everyone so far. Thanks to Dave Homenuck for helping write this issue, since I've been finishing up school it's been tough to get updates done. I've updated the Guest List, but if you're not on there please let me know...you may have gotten lost along the way. My appologies if you were. Whack-smackin ya in the crania with a BS cartridge,
