NAVA Gamer Gathering, January 25th: "Mercenary Mayhem!"
NAVA = North Atlantic Videogame Aficionados. This is a FREE event bringing gamers together for competition, trading, and chatter.
Previously at NAVA...
- Everyone celebrated "the re-gifting season" in a wrapped gift exchange.
- The arcade challenge was BERZERK. The high score winner was Walter A whose 4740 score earned the coveted $20 gift certificate. PLUS Walter got on our champions scoreboard!
- Gamers, collectors and friends shared their recent adventures and sold or traded their goods.
In This Month's NAVA: It's Mercenary Mayhem! Celebrating the TWENTY YEAR ANNIVERSARY of Resident Evil 4 and its famous "The Mercenaries" mode, there will be games to play all around the store that raise a glass to the nameless mercenaries who fight for honor, glory, and cold hard cash.
Arcade Challenge: When you hear "mercenaries", what's the first arcade game you think of? The correct answer was Konami's 1987 run and gun shooter CONTRA! The game hit its stride on the Nintendo Entertainment system but the arcade cabinet. On this day, you're going solo. 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: We're celebrating Resident Evil 4's "The Mercenaries" mode, so why not PLAY Resident Evil 4's "The Mercenaries" mode? This is a solo challenge but we will have two consoles set up for a unique head-to-head challenge. Can you score the most points before the chopper arrives? 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.
Remember, you can bring a box or two of your trade goodies. 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! Also, if you have a Digital Press or NAVA t-shirt, wear them for a for an additional 5% discount on the store's already low-low prices! If you don't have a Digital Press t-shirt, ask us how to buy one while you're here. It's NAVA time, people! Let us all GAME ON.
