No love for old DOS games? Sad. If you guys do some older FPS games for deathmatch, I'd be down to play given I have time to play.

Hehe. We are talking about the majority of attendees being newer generation. They probably have either never heard about gaming in the 90's or at least not put much thought towards it.

As far as old DOS games are concerned, yeah, we are working on it. Just give us suggestions. =)

Good suggestions for older FPS games for deathmatch would be like Doom 2 (dwango5 custom map set for dm), Quake 1-3 (any of them are really good) even older Build engine games like Blood would be pretty neat. There would probably be a lot of people that don't post on the forums, but once they see the older games they'd probably go nuts haha. If you don't have dos machines, you can always use DosBox for playing them (really easy to set up too I can help explain at the next meeting or whenever.)

It would be really cool to play some Doom 1 or 2 on an older machine.

If there is a SNES, then I would like to suggest Kirby Super Star.

With Doom, you can even play it on modern pcs without the need of Dosbox or anything, just use a newer source port (you still need the .wad files, think of them as the game files.) I recommend using Chocolate Doom or PrBoom+, they're easy to set up and you don't need ancient technology to make them run. I'm actually unsure about PrBoom+ lan capability, as it's more of a TAS utility than for co-op, but I do know Chocolate Doom does allow for lan up to 4 players (like Original Doom.) If you want to delve further you can use even more modern source ports like Zdaemon (which needs an internet connection I think?) or Skulltag (don't need an internet connection.) These are based off Zdoom and have a lot of their limits taken off (you can play with up to 32 people iirc) they do introduce mouse look and jumping though (which I personally don't like in Doom and some techniques used for DM are unable to be used in the ports.) If you need to know more feel free to ask me :)

We'll definitely discuss more on the meeting. I wanna see how this will be implemented.

Oh the good 'ol Doom and Heretic times with DWANGO. :D

The tournament list (version 1) will be announced next week. An official thread for eGaming will be made next week. If you want to get your requests on, let us know ASAP.

I guess MLG Setting Halo Reach.

Even though my cries will likely go unanswered...

Or even the Playstation version (anyone got a link cable?).

Please... PLEASE have the Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 game at Fanime this year! Also, I have to agree that a tournament would also be totally awesome :D

The 2nd Naruto fighting game for the ps3/360 is pretty enjoyable. A tournament would be fun; even better, a tournament featuring cosplayers playing as their character! ;P

We need a big Marvel vs Capcom 3 Tourney, Pc gaming, and more Street Fighter :D

I'm almost positive that there will be and MVC3 tourney because if there's not that would really suck. D:

It would lol, but it'll be an even bigger deal than Street Fighter has been over the past couple of years I think

SUPER SMASH BROS. MELEE

We need a tournament for this game. Its more competitive than "Brawl" and far more exciting and fast paced.

Also any of the "GEARS OF WAR" franchise would be a must for being an XBox exclusive. Again, it would be way more exciting than a "Forza" tournament.

Please consider my suggestions, and if completely rejected please let me know as-well so i won't be keeping my hopes up for nothing.

Note that we are still possibly adding more tournaments. In the meantime, please reply here:
