A few options to show your support, and get goodies in return!

Support getting our head referee Clint from Aurcade to the event.
While we had some overflow from all of the generous contributions at BroFest 2016, there is still a bit more to get Clint funded for CAX.

PLEASE NOTE - just to clarify....due to extremely tight schedule to get shirts in time for CAX, we had to place order in advance.
As a result, we couldn't get Cult of Clint supporter's names listed on shirt....but again, with out your support - this couldn't happen so thank you!
Even though goal has almost been met, if goes over - ALL proceeds go towards covering operating expenses....so don't let that scare you off ;)

........the 'Cult of Clint' supporters as of 07/01/16 (in the order received):

I'm in. I know Marble Madness 2 is one of the protos that show up at CAX, and I remember the crazy 2 player Missile Command, what other prototypes are there?

PS: Couldn't you get a less grainy pic of Clint by now?

Im in! Gack - is there a way to get that t-shirt design made into a poster? Like the size of the Grinkfest poster from last year?

Ken and Tj take his freeze every year. Sometimes he takes airborne. I used to take my airborne, but it's a major effort for me to move mine. Last two years I took Armageddon. Scott usually takes quite a few.

There are protos of production games that go to cax, Ken and Tj take Toobin, tmek, and boxing bugs. I have taken my klax and relief pitcher. Frank takes armor attack. They are essentially the same as production.

Then there are bunches of games that are so Rare, that they could be considered proto. Inferno comes to mind.
 
Put me on the list for cult of Clint and I got a shirt to pick up at the show... I didn't register because I think i may be helping and not participating lol should I reg anyway? Let me know?
 
I forgot about teeter torture, that's another ken and tj game. Time bomb is scotts. War of the worlds pcb belongs to a collector who goes to cax.

I look forward to playing teeter torture every year, its unique and very fun

Time bomb seems like a relatively "new" addition to the prototype row, maybe 2 years ago was the first time i remember seeing it, but its also super fun 2 player, and great old atari artwork

It was one of Scott's recent aquisions. Two or three years sounds about right. It's amazing how some stuff pops up. Scott works hard at getting some of them.
 
Thanks for the compliments on shirt design :)

This is all 100% original art created by 34k and myself. It was a fun project I spent about 4hrs making 3D model of exploded view drawing Wico style joystick.....and with the magical talents of Mr. k who put it all together!

There are limited qty available, only about 50 left and only a couple in smaller and extended sizes. Anyone outside of country that would like one shipped, please PM me and I can arrange that for you.

I'll update 1st post later today with additional people helping support Cult of Clint. Without your help this wouldn't happen!

Thanks so much and see y'all in a few weeks! ;)

Looks like we are close, I can chip in a few more if need be.. Come on folks here your chance to get your high score record on the books, on machines never before recorded on..

How would you like to be the world recorded holder on teeter torture??? definitely worth a 20 spot I might say!!
 
Wow, so I have no idea what the " 'Cult of Clint' supporters " is, so I googled it.

Hmm, not what I thought! That's not arcade related at all.

Kinda scary... :eek:

P.S. I love the shirt as well. Almost makes me want to buy one even though I won't be there. Next year make some that say "I Couldn't Make It To..." at the top of the shirt for those who can't make it and I'd buy one!
