Putting this back on the front page to gather more interest.

Updated the name of the thread to reflect the place and date.

Bump for great justice.

Also, did we ever get a pretty solid head count?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

We probably won't get anything solid until the week before the meet.

So far it's

I know a few local friends who say they are serious about showing up. One has already requested the day off. Not getting any feedback from the Neo-Geo guys. A couple of people at Sega-16 showed interest. I have a feeling it will be anywhere from 5 to 10 people, realistically. But we'll know more when we get closer.

Revised the games list. Removed a few titles, added a few titles.

I think 3 TVs is good. Enough for one of each system. I'm also thinking a 19" TV may be a good idea - as in 2 13" TVs and a 19". We need to start thinking about stands to put this stuff on, too. If you have a TV cart with wheels that can easily be moved around, consider bringing it. Make sure to let us know, so we don't have 10 TV carts showing up.

Games list thus far... I think we're getting down to a final list.
Genesis:
Streets of Rage 2 (wip3outguy7)
Gunstar Heroes (maybe)
Contra Hard Corps (maybe)

Saturn:
Guardian Heroes (wip3outguy7)
Galactic Attack (wip3outguy7)
Soukyugurentai (wip3outguy7)
Die Hard Arcade (wip3outguy7)

Playstation 2:
Taito Legends 2 (Hobie)
Ghost in the Shell: SAC (wip3outguy7)
Golden Axe 1, 2, & 3 (Genesis collection) (Hobie)
Zone Of The Enders 1 & ZOE: The Second Runner if wanted for Versus mode (Kyo)
Contra: Shattered Soldier (wip3outguy7)

Wow, it is only a month away! Finally, a good reason to bother with Austin.
