We talked with the guys from the CD Game Exchange and decided the best way to handle this in the future is for us to sit down and plan out Saturday gaming nights well ahead of time.

We'll get together over the next few weeks and lay down a schedule for the entire summer. This way you'll know just what to expect more than a few days in advance.

In the meantime, we won't be holding the games. We'll publish a schedule soon, though, so keep an eye out!

Due to St. Patrick's Day we've opted not to have our weekly midnight gaming this Saturday. Don't worry, though. We'll be back on the 24th!

For this coming Saturday's Midnight Gaming, we're bringing a second TV into the store so we can get 8 people playing at a time. Be sure to join us for snacks, prizes and good old fashioned video game violence.

This weekend we'll be playing the Dreamcast Gaming system, a console I've been told was ahead of it's time when it was released. So come pay your respects to a victim of cruel fate and poor timing - and have a fun time doing it!

Featured Games include:
Powerstone 2
Quake 2
Virtual Tennis
Gauntlet Legends

Yes, we'll be featuring a Street Fighter theme this Saturday night. It looks like it'll be mostly or entirely on the PS2 - but we'll definitely have several different versions of the game for your entertainment.

As always, we'll have:
-snacks and drinks
-small prizes for high scores and competition winners

And again, thanks to the CD Game Exchange for their help in making this event possible.

Starting Saturday, February 17, Fantom Comics will begin hosting its weekly video gaming parties on our 42" plasma TV. They'll run every Saturday from midnight until...whenever people start filtering out.

Each week we'll have:
-a different gaming console
-snacks and drinks
-small prizes for high scores and competition winners

For our inaugural night we'll be playing the NINTENDO 64! We'll feature the following games:
Goldeneye (a 1st player shooter)
Mario Kart (the coolest racing game EVER)
Super-Smash Brothers (a fighting game)

Management would also like to thank our co-sponsors for Saturday Midnight Gaming, the CD GAME EXCHANGE. CD Game Exchange will be supplying our consoles and games each week, so if you find something you like, you need to head over to these guys and pick it up for your own self.

Any question, feel free to email us at: fantomcomics@gmail.com.
