DP's "Brick and Mortar"

Photos of "Digital Press Videogames" store at 387 Piaget Ave in Clifton, NJ.

These photos were taken from the store on January 26th at the monthly NAVA meeting, there were two tournaments: Street Fighter II for Super Nintendo, and a unique variation on Demon Attack called "Invader X" for the Atari 2600, held at 6pm and 9pm respectively. See below the photos for past galleries of the store and its setup. Click any photo below for a larger view.
The day was mostly about Rock Band, played on the XBox 360 today. Though there were two tournaments giving away Nintendo Wii and XBox 360 respectively, neither of these were based on Rock Band. People just like to sing, strum, and beat.
The performance deserves a page of its own, really. Chris belts out Iron Maiden's "Run To The Hills" while playing Rock Band. There has nary been a performer as animated as Chris in our confines.
In what might be considered the perfect house band, with Chris on vocals we also had a Sid-Vicious-like guitarist... ... a real live girl on bass, it's not Nancy Wilson, is it? ... and a drummer who's hands moved too fast to be captured in stills. Plus, he spontaneously combusted!
  The preparations for tournament action are underway.  
Digital Press' house vocalist Frankie takes on "Run To The Hills", in a what will be the day's most memorable song.   Custom-made Atari 2600 "Invader X" was no easy task for NAVA tournament players.
Big Sal easily wins the Atari 2600 "Invader X" tournament, despite unsportsmanlike distractions. Mike strums as Matt puts on his best Mickey Mouse voice for the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage".  
Joe adds background vocals with his trusty tournament megaphone.

 

 Battle of the DP store gals begins... It's not button mashing, it's real skillz.
It's not who wins the game, it's who pretends to care about the loser afterwards.    
     
After relentless attack by co-worker Raj, Maryah may resort to off-screen physical attack. ANOTHER DP store rivalry ensues in the finals. Clearly some of the best gamers in this area live here. Ultimately Matt (Islanders jersey) knocks out Raj to take home an XBox 360.
