Bill Kunkel at the next NAVA meeting

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

Because of Shane's interview with Bill, I now HAVE to go and meet this guy, cause he sounds like an awesome person to talk to.

For those of you who don't know what NAVA is:

NAVA = North Atlantic Videogame Afficionados. It's FREE, and YOU are invited to attend.

We will have a special guest at this month's NAVA. Bill "The Game Doctor" Kunkel is best known for his pioneering work with Electronic Games magazine. With partners Arnie Katz and Joyce Worley, the trio became the first journalists in the videogame industry as Electronic Games magazine paved new ground, presented new concepts, and gave us our first peek at what was to come.

I've met Bill many times over the years, and there's never a shortage of stories. He'll be sharing some of them as well as hosting a Q&A for NAVA attendees at 6pm. Bill's "keynote" will replace the normally scheduled tournament but I promise it will be just as entertaining.

Don't miss the autograph opportunity. His book will be for sale at the store, or you could bring along personal copies of Electronic Games to get autographed.

Are you ready? It's time for another NAVA.

When: Saturday, September 27th, noon to midnight.
Where: Digital Press Videogames: http://tinyurl.com/yscakm
What happens: Gaming, trading, tournaments, big prizes! Attendance is FREE. Half price for kids!
What can I bring?: Snacks, soda and beer are always appreciated. Cakes have been very popular as well.

Good video. Shane's Bill Kunkel interview is still one of my favorite retorgaming radio interviews.

I used to love to read Bill Kunkel's Game Doctor article back in the 80's/90's. I also loved the interview Shane did with the Game Doctor. I remember Bil Kunkel would post and respond to to forum members here shortly after the RGR Kunkel review episode was released. It was really cool to be able to ask him questions on the forum.

Glad to see he is still active with digitalpress. I remember he would write articles for them every so often.

It would be cool if Bill still posted here on RGR today. I wonder when was the last time he posted.

Is this monthly? I missed this one, but it's actually only twenty minutes from where I'd live so I'd love to go a future one.

He's a regular poster at the J2 Games Forum (http://www.j2games.com/new/forum/index.php) and has a section all his own that he updates fairly frequently.
