Well,
as it stands right now I only have digital imagery on one of our Network Gaming 'Fests.
This particular session took place almost a year ago on the weekend of May 15th,
16th and 17th, 1998. This page has a LOT of pictures on it, and this Web server is a
little shy on bandwidth, so I apologize in advance for the long load time. As time
goes by, this area will grow and you will see some more of the folks who "Play to
Win" !!!
 |
In this photo you see Jack and Steve performing
preliminary Checks and Network tests as Steve's wife Norma looks over their shoulders. |
 |
Jack and Steve are still working out the kinks in this photo.
Sometimes the preliminary tests can be fun too !!! |
 |
Believe it or not, Steve is not on the phone with Domino's®.
At this stage of the game (no pun intended) we only have three players, so Steve is trying
find out where everybody is and to drum up some interest by recruiting some "Fresh
Meat". |
 |
Great! A new arrival. Ken joins the gang, so now we've
got just enough players to make things interesting. In this shot you see Steve,
Andreas, Ken and Jack. In the background you can see Tracey putting the finishing
touches on the refreshments which will be served later. . . |
 |
Here we find Ken and Andreas preparing for the first round of battle.
. . |
 |
Steve takes an early lead. Meanwhile, Jack, Ken and Andreas are
still getting warmed up. . . |
 |
Ken still hasn't quite warmed up yet. Well maybe if the rest of
us would leave him alone for more than five seconds. . . . . .one Thousand
One, one Thousand Two, one Thousand Three. . . Bang, Pow, Zap !!! Sorry Ken. .
. See ya' next life. . . |
 |
Believe it or not Jack has been known to kick some
serious butt in spite of his unorthodox keyboard position. . . Of course having a
full load of "Multiple Fire Rocket Launcher" doesn't hurt. |
 |
Speaking of unorthodox, here we catch a partial
glimpse of Andreas's Net'gaming posture. Right hand on his joystick, left on the
throttle. Of course with all those buttons at his disposal (26 in all!) you'll never
see his hands leave the controls to reach for the keyboard. . . |
 |
As you can see in this shot, Andreas has a bit of advantage over Ken
due to the fact that he can peek over his monitor to see what Ken is up to. . . |
 |
Fresh meat arrives !!! |
 |
Randy and Larry are up on the "Net" in record time.
As Larry finishes his joystick configuration and testing, Randy waits patiently for the
next game to start. |
 |
Well, now that Randy and Larry are finished setting
up their "Hard Core" gaming machines, now the "REAL" fun can begin !!! |
 |
Now that the whole gang is here, gaming their asses off, and killing
each other, here's sort of a "Birds Eye View" of "Network Central". .
. |
 |
The camera just loves Steve. As you can see in
this scene, the feeling is definitely mutual. . . ;-) |
 |
Tracey prepares the credenza for and feast fit for a King. . .
O.K. a Prince then. . . |
 |
Roy doesn't play Forsaken® (he doesn't know what he's missing),
but he sure serves up them dogs mighty nice. |
 |
Norma looks on as Jack and Steve defend themselves against heavy fire
from Ken and Andreas upstairs. |
 |
Ken gets a "Hot Streak" and takes the lead. . .
for about five seconds. . . ;-) |
 |
In the end Steve reigns victorious. . . again. . . |
 |
Father and Daughter ham it up for the camera. |
