Intense Tetris action, maxed-out scores and a serious flashback to the NES glory days… it’s all here at the Jonas Neubauer Cup!
This cup is old-style – It’s when you hold the controller like you did in the 80s and 90s and press the D-pad down. No hyper tapping or rolling play-styles will be allowed. Play just like former champions Jonas and Harry!
Red Bull will be at PRGE all weekend to keep gamers energized. Be sure to check out Red Bull Wings Cup for your chance to compete in the National Final and ultimately the World Final in Miami!

Lori and Corey Cole (aka The Coles) met over a D&D table at a science fiction convention. Ten years later, they started making role-playing adventure games for Sierra On-Line. Their award-winning titles include five Quest for Glory games, Castle of Dr. Brain, Mixed-Up Fairy Tales, and Shannara. They’re now indie developers, as Transolar Games, with recent releases Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption, and Summer Daze: Tilly’s Tale. They’re currently developing Summer Daze: Ifeyo’s Adventure, with two other narrative and puzzle games in the pipeline. When they aren’t developing games, they’re probably playing them.
Mark and Debbie Seibert toured together as husband and wife nationally with the band Omega Sunrise, recording 2 albums and charting a number of local and regional hits. In the summer of ’87 Mark was hired at Sierra On-Line where he spent 14 years in various roles including musician, arranger, composer, music director, producer, designer, and executive producer. He worked on dozens of titles including hits like King’s Quest, Space Quest, Quest for Glory, Phantasmagoria, Leisure Suit Larry, and many others. In 2002, Mark and his family moved to the Baltimore area, where he worked for a company doing game simulations for NASA for the International Space Station. In 2005, he joined an EA subcontractor and worked on games like Lord of the Rings and Command and Conquer. In 2009, Mark retired from the video game industry, earned a Master’s degree in Education, and began teaching at a local private school. Mark started a small Indy record label named KirKat Music in 2015. They have released 5 albums since inception, including the artists and bands JAGB, Heidi Raduano, Favored, and It Could Happen, all of which are available on on-line music outlets.
Dave Gilbert has been interested in adventure games ever since 1986, when his mother made the mistake of buying him a copy of Infocom’s Wishbringer. Fifteen years later, he discovered the Adventure Game Studio engine and began making his own. In 2006, he decided that making games was too much fun to do anything else for a living, and formed Wadjet Eye Games to do just that. In the (gulp) 20 years since, Wadjet Eye has developed and published over 20 games including Old Skies, the Blackwell series, Gemini Rue, Unavowed, and the newly released Nighthawks.
