NAVA Gamer Gathering, July 27th: "Bombs Away!"

NAVA = North Atlantic Videogame Aficionados. This is a FREE event bringing gamers together for competition, trading, and chatter.

Previously at NAVA...
- We had many a random encounter at our event themed around random encounters. How random!
- The 6pm tournament was a RANDOM RETRO for Atari 2600. Returning champion Stephanie M reclaimed her title, winning the event's $20 gift certificate.
- The arcade challenge was Namco's TOWER OF DRUAGA. The high score was 104900 scored by Walter A, earning that coveted house champion $20 gift certificate.
- Gamers, collectors and friends shared their recent adventures and sold or traded their goods.

In This Month's NAVA: We're celebrating Bomberman's anniversary! In July of 1983 the game "Bakudan Otoko" was released by Hudson for many platforms in Japan and designed by Shinichi Nakamoto and Shigeki Fujiwara. As of 2023, over 16 million physical Bomberman games have been sold, and we have a few of them here at Digital Press. Come and play the many systems and kiosks we'll have available to everyone throughout the course of the day and celebrate the day with us.

Arcade Challenge: Bomberman is also known in Europe as DYNABLASTER, and Irem put this fine arcade game out in 1991. Be the best at this game on this one day by logging the highest score on our arcade cabinet by 9pm and win a nifty $20 gift certificate. Arcade challenge games are set to FREE PLAY all day, but please remember to let everyone get a shot. If you get the high score, move on, and no hogging the cabinet! Also if you have won last month’s arcade challenge you are not eligible to win this month’s challenge.

6PM Tournament: Let's get to it with four player head to head SUPER BOMBERMAN. on the SNES! Will you "blow everyone away" or will you "bomb"? Let's find out. Sign-ups begin at 3pm, the tournament starts after 6pm in this first-come, first-served and as always at NAVA, FREE-to-join tournament.

We'll help you administer sales and get you set up somewhere in the store to sell your goods, there is no charge for this perk, NAVA is the time for trading!
