Sounds nice need to think about to come/join

Are Emulators allowed for this? Mischief Makers would be the only games (PAL Version) i could offer otherwise.

What other games do you play? If you mainly play N64 games I can probably provide a few (PAL versions though). I live in Berlin and will come to see the speedruns live even if I don't end up running anything myself Wink

well i play a lot SNES RPG's (terranigma, secret of evermore and Lufia II for example)
I wouldnt offer the most of my games, some of them are heavy affected by RNG, so there is no guarantee to get a run first try. Thats not a Marathon Spirit.

Anyway, here the games i could offer: Kirby's Dream Land 1 (Gameboy NTSC), Yoshi's Island (SNES, J-Version), Teleportower+ (Flashgame, actually thats not a problem), Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (SNES, NTSC version) and Mischief Makers (PAL)

So i have all this games (dont mind teleportower) in PAL, but for speedrunning i prefer NTSC, Mystic Quest is the most special thing because there are some stuff only possible in the NTSC version, and Yoshi's Island is just totally different in movementspeed in PAL/NTSC

So if emulators are allowed: No problem i just could bring them on USB-Stick and everything is fine.
If emulators not allowed: Basically i only can give Mischief Makers, thats not my best game Tongue

and/or Teleportower (Short Download or something, its a Freeware game, but i think no one knows the game at all)

Ofc i know its impossible to bring all games in, i would prefer Kirby's Dream Land, Mystic Quest and Teleportower. That would a combined estimate by a bit more then 3 hours about.

Wouter Jansen mentioned this in the NLG chat group, so I'd take a look.

Hell yeah Meridian! NLG crew ftw!

I also have a pretty good time on Monkey Island 3 on Mega Monkey, got about 1 hour during a race if anyone would be interested.

HYPE!

Its good to see that you are interested so much in the marathon. We will do our best to give you a superb event like last year. I talked to A-M too and he considers to visit it on Saturday. AdamAK will attend to probably. The final time for the game submission will be the 28th of February. Smiley

Sounds so awesome, i really want to go there and..maybe run something? Oh well.

I gotta see if i can attend maybe even without running something. I hope other plans dont interfere with it.

Emulators are not allowed for the Gamefest due to several reasons unfortunately. You can submit Mischief Makers instead.

just out of curiosity - VC is not considered an emulator, I hope.

and who in here is taking a MFG? (German for "Mitfahrgelegenheit" -> taking a ride)
somewhat from frankfurt or fulda or something like that? so I'm not completely alone?

I guess we will do a separate thread for that later. VC is allowed of course.

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

Will this concentrate solely on speedruns or are 2D shooters like Ikaruga also welcome? I'd participate if yes, since I'm not a fully-fledged speedrunner myself.

Thanks in advance for the answer! Smiley

Oh my god. Its nice to read your name again! Our contact tore apart years ago! I am one of LuCypha good buddies. Smiley

I will talk about this with Mahrla and Freak but it might be a cool idea to show different games even though its a Shmup.

FFXIII and Mario Games, yup.

Changed my priority list in my games post due to having gotten a new PB thats 37 seconds off WR, since I'll spend some time into improving that. Tongue

Starting to get hyped about this.

btw - will we have a practice room? I might have to get used to the TV's and in worst case even to some small route changes cause there were so many changes atm in MM and OoT

Beliskner

I'd also like to know if we get practice TV's and what TV's will be used during the event if that information is available already Smiley
