Derf Party
FredCo will be hosting some Derf Party events at Fragapalooza 2024. The developers will be on site to host these events, so you can interact directly with those who had a hand in making the game.
Timeslots are posted to the schedule; reivew to find when each is happening.
Free-For-All: bracket tournament where guests will compete in a series of bracket-based Derf Party games. The top 2 players of each bracket advance to the next bracket until the top player of the final 4 players will be the winner. Bracket size will depend on the volume of participants, but Derf Party is prepared to have multiple games going simultaneously to expedite the competition.
King of the Court: guests from the audience will compete in Derf Party to become the top-scoring player of the game. When someone wins a game of Derf Party, they become the new King of the Court. Anyone who is not the king will sit out for new guests to challenge the king until either the king wins 3 games in a row (including the game they became king) or the king is replaced by someone else.
Duos: a 2v2 bracket tournament where guests will compete in a series of bracket-based Derf Party games. The top duo players of each bracket advance to the next bracket until the top duo of the final 2 duos will be the winners. Bracket size will depend on volume of participants, but Derf Party is prepared to have multiple games going at once to expedite the competition.

Smash Brothers Melee: 2001 classic for the Nintendo GameCube. While it wasn't the first SmahBros game, it's certainly the one that made the franchise what it is today. This tournament is a ladder style 1v1 with a 4 player free for all for the final round.
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo - CPSII: 1994 Smash hit for the Capcom System II arcade board. This game series dominated the fighting game genre for over a decade. This tournament is a typical 1v1 style. This will be played using a FPGA mainboard, a CRT and arcade quality fight sticks. Zero input latency here!
Mortal Kombat II - Arcade Edition - Sega 32X+CD: 1994 classic for the Sega CD32X. While the 32X was an epic flop. But regardless of that this was still by far the best console port of Mortal Kombat II. Now it has been made even better thanks to the community. Played on an original Sega Genesis/32X/CD combo with 6 button controllers. This tournament is a typical 1v1 style.
Unreal Tournament 2004: This gaming series is the stuff of LAN party legends. Sadly Epic games has allowed this game to be lost to time. Lost, but not forgotten, here's your chance to play it again. 2 quick rounds for this tournament, first is a giant deathmatch using your own computer, the final round however will take the 4 players with the highest score and have them face each other on vintage Windows XP era hardware.
Quake III Arena: Time to party like it's 1999! This game is the classic of classics. First few rounds will be using the Steam version, final round will be played on era appropriate Windows XP gaming rigs.
