NAVA = North Atlantic Videogame Aficionados. This is a FREE event bringing gamers together for competition, trading, and chatter.

Previously at NAVA...

- We celebrated the world of puzzle-based videogames.

- The arcade challenge was TETRIS (Atari). The high score winner Alejandro scored 93,787 (without continues!) earning the coveted "arcade champion" $20 gift certificate.

- The 6pm tournament was POKEMON PUZZLE LEAGUE. Brandon G was our champion, walking off with a cool $20 gift certificate.

- Gamers, collectors and friends shared their recent adventures and sold or traded their goods.

In This Month's NAVA: Can you believe our beloved Nintendo GameCube turns TWENTY FIVE YEARS old this year? Launched in Japan in September 2001 and a bit later here that November, the tiny console with its built-in handle and miniature discs was born to travel. Over its history there were a number of iconic titles including Super Smash Bros. Melee, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Luigi's Mansion and more. We celebrate this great system at NAVA this month.

Arcade Challenge: There were some old-school arcade ports and translations created on the GameCube but the real hero of the GameCube generation is Mario, so let's go back to the first Mario Bros game, titled... wait for it... MARIO BROS. In a solo game, who can knock the most bad guys off the platforms? Put up the best score on this game by 9pm and win a nifty $20 gift certificate. Arcade challenge games are set to FREE PLAY all day, but please remember to let everyone get a shot. If you get the high score, move on, and no hogging the game! Also if you have won last month’s arcade challenge you are not eligible to win this month’s challenge.

6PM Tournament: What better system to have a tournament on! We have to go with the king of tournament games, SUPER SMASH BROS MELEE. We'll do a 4-on-4 in a 16-player round robin donnybrook. Who will smash all challengers on their way to becoming a NAVA champion? Sign-ups begin at 3pm, the tournament starts after 6pm in this first-come, first-served and as always at NAVA, FREE-to-join tournament. Winners receive a $20 gift certificate!

Remember, you can bring a box or two of your trade goodies. We'll help you administer sales and get you set up somewhere in the store to sell your goods, there is no charge for this perk, NAVA is the time for trading! Also, if you have a Digital Press or NAVA t-shirt, wear them for a for an additional 5% discount on the store's already low-low prices! If you don't have a Digital Press t-shirt, ask us how to buy one while you're here. It's NAVA time, people! Let us all GAME ON.
