Calendar
Hey All,
The next NY Tecmo meetup will be on Wednesday, June 20th at Raven’s Head Public House in Astoria, Queens. The meetup starts at 6 pm and lasts until whenever. We usually have a theme and this one will be Death by Field Goals. I’ll leave you guys to guess what that means!
We’re going to have a few consoles going and we’ll also have some non-Tecmo games like Baseball Stars and Super Mario 3 for anyone who wants a change of pace. Feel free to invite others along to come hang out and play some pick up and play games!
If you are able to bring any equipment, it’s much appreciated. Also, stay tuned for some official Northeast Tecmo tournament announcements!
Viva Tecmo!
