Today is the 23rd anniversary of the... Mid Atlantic Gamers Festival?

With help from @magfest.org and @kohler.bsky.social, we've assembled a collection of archival materials that tell the story of the first MAGFest event from 2002!

archive.gamehistory.org/folder/198d0...

A flyer for the Mid Atlantic Gamers Festival at the Holiday Inn Tanglewood in Roanoka, VA, September 27-29, 2002.

"2000+ square feet main game room. Guest video game voice actors. Industry insiders. Game developers. The first video game convention by fans for fans that is non industry, non trade show."

A promotional booth for the first MAGFest, titled the Mid Atlantic Video Game Festival. They're playing Devil's Crush on a Commodore monitor.

Woah! We forgot to post anything during @magwestofficial.bsky.social! We had a blast taking over the Variety Stage with speedruns, music and panels!

But most importantly, we raised $3,076.77 for the @childsplaycharity.bsky.social!

That’s a hell of our start for our first year going FAST at West!

Had the absolutely heinous idea of " @biscore.bsky.social speedruns Paradise Killer" which would just be me rolling credits in 10 minutes while @neoncowell.bsky.social plays our covers of the soundtrack

...think about it, @magfast.org
