The first MAGFest event in September 2002 originated as Omakecon, a video game-focused anime convention founded by members of the video game and anime communities in Roanoke, VA. Due to an organizational dispute, Omakecon was never held. Joseph Yamine, an organizer for the event and the owner of the Roanoke video game store Captain Gamestation, relaunched Omakecon as a video game event called the Mid-Atlantic Gaming Festival.
