RetroJames! · « **on:** February 05, 2006, 10:41:50 pm »

In addition to the GameRoom Magazine discounted subscription offer, RetroBlast would like to thank the folks at BYOAC with a new contest this month open only to BYOAC members!

With the generous support of Rick at Dream Authentics we will be giving away
a Grand Prize Act Labs VGA Light Gun to one lucky BYOAC member.

Two other winners will be able to select from a pool of smaller prizes to be announced shortly.

How To Enter

To enter, simply send a personal message to the "RetroBlast!" user on BYOAC with "Act Labs Contest" in the subject line of the personal message.

Rules and Stuff

To win, you must be a registered BYOAC member and have a minimum of 50 posts on record at the time of the contest drawings on March 1st.

To ensure that only past and current active BYOAC members will be in the contest pool, your first post to BYOAC must have been entered in the forums on or before February 5th, 2006. Lurkers get busy now and opportunists go home!

One entry per person, cheaters will be summarily exposed and chastised. No duplicate accounts please.

Contest Winners

Winners will be chosen at random on March 1st 2006. The BYOAC member names will be posted in this thread on March 1st.

I will contact the winners by PM from the RetroBlast! account and make arrangements to send them their goodies!

==================================

Thank's again to Rick at Dream Authentics for his generosity in supplying the grand prize.

Good luck to everyone at BYOAC and thanks again for your support of RetroBlast News and Reviews!

CRAP! I wanted the calendar

I got 7 retroblast tokens at the auction. I am good to go.

Yeeha! Tokens for me! And maybe I'll learn something about Pinballs. That can go with my other arcade book collection. NICE.

Thanks RetroBlast!
