NAVA Gamer Gathering, April 26th: "David Crane Day"

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

Previously at NAVA...
- Ninjas and other sneaky types were the theme of the day.
- The arcade challenge was NINJA KIDS. The high score winner Ken put up a high score of 395,850 points, earning the coveted "arcade champion" $20 gift certificate.
- The 6pm tournament was BUSHIDO BLADE. James' sword was the most true on this day, slashing opponents on his way to the $20 prize.
- Gamers, collectors and friends shared their recent adventures and sold or traded their goods.

In This Month's NAVA: In honor of the anniversary of David Crane's Pitfall! (April 20th was its 43-year anniversary), we'll have it set up as well as many of the other games David Crane developed over the years. This includes Atari classics including Outlaw, Freeway and Decathlon as well as memorable NES titles like A Boy and His Blob, even into the 16-bit era's underrated David Crane's Amazing Tennis. We'll bust them all out for a day of truly classic gaming.

Arcade Challenge: in 1995, Sega of Japan translated Pitfall II for arcade audiences. Can you find the hidden gold bar on each level? Be the best at this game on this 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: Get your FISHING DERBY game on! You think fighting games are the only way to find NAVA's greatest gamers? Lets see how everyone does while battling the other player and an annoyingly hungry shark for the deepest fish. Who is the best? 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!
