It's that time again!!!
On June 15th, 1996 we will be hosting our 8th FragFest event. For
those unfamiliar with the event, FragFest is the one-of-a-kind multiplayer
network gaming convention that has become the Mecca for PC gamers who are
serious about their fun. It's 16 hours of nonstop multiplayer network gaming
competition. We are now sponsored in part by Spacetec IMC, makers of the
Spaceball Avenger 3D game controller.
These days, most PC games being released are designed to not only
support human vs. computer competition, but also human vs human mayhem.
These games don't show their true playability until the target under your
sights is your buddy across the room on his own computer. This is
accomplished with network cards and a length of cable connecting the PC's.
FragFest takes this simple idea to a MUCH grander scale. Our last
conference was attended by over 100 gamers intent on playing their favorite
multiplayer games, including Duke Nukem 3D, Command & Conquer, Mechwarrior
2, Need for Speed, Whiplash, Superkarts, Nascar Racing, Grand Prix 2, Magic
Carpet, Warcraft 2, Descent, Rise of the Triad, Abuse, WitchHaven, Hexen,
Heretic, Quake, and of course, Doom/Doom II. Extreme competition demands an
"extreme game controller", so Spacetec IMC is offering their premier 3D game
controller for a special price at the event and plan to demonstrate their
latest game controller during the day of the event for gamers looking for
that extra playing edge.
FragFest has grown exponentially with every event and this time is
no different. We're holding the event at the Santa Clara Convention Center
in Santa Clara, CA. This is the same convention center that hosts the
Computer Game Developer's Conference. This event is open to all gamers and
we're expecting attendees from as far as Florida and Washington. There are
many hotels near the event for those that are traveling to attend.
