I know Davey was from Cleveland area…
I haven't been in the area since a group of us went to Gund Arena to catch a game…

Garfield Heights actually. Me and my friend seem like we are the only shmup gamers around the Cleveland area. Oh and another dude named Jeff whos XBLA name is "ShootTheCore". Love to have a shmup get together.Davey wrote:Yeah, North Royalton to be exact. I drive back there a few times a year for family functions. What part of Cleveland are you from, Throwdown?Sonic R wrote:I know Davey was from Cleveland area…
I'm guessing the next meet up is.... 2 weeks from saturday.... so 6/20/09?
Sorry I couldn't make it this past week. I was all excited and ready to go, then I found out about the game auction for work and had to pull some last minute stuff so we could go out there. They had an ESPGaluda in an Astro City that I wanted to get, but it went for too much money. lol. We did get the Guitar Freaks and Drummania V5 and 2 sets of Street Fighter IV cabinets for anyone that's interested. =P
Anyways.... I'll be at the next meet up for sure. Been far too long since I've gotten to go

It's a converted cab, but in awesome condition, not anything like the machines we had before. They did the upgrades perfectly with graphics and all. It'll be there Friday (sometime before 5 I'm guessing).zero.otaku wrote:Is that a new Drummania cab? And is it already up and running? If so, I will definitely have to make it up there sometime in the very near future.
That really, really fucking sucks about Galuda; how much did it end up going for?
Galuda went for over $1,300. There was a guy that used to go to this place that closed down and he was very set on buying it. I think he said he would have gone up to $2,000? lol. Too much for me. lol
Shmup Meet @ Mr.Tie's Place

Get down on some Shmups, Fighters, VO:OT, or Puzzle action.
Who: Anyone willing to treck their ass this far up M-24, that enjoy good games, and won't burn down my house to kill me .
So this is my toss out to the MI gamers and system11 at large, I'll get more info out as time get closers feel free to PM me. This would be a good opportunity to have the Detroit crew come up, play some pink sweets and generally give back some of the hospitality they have given me.

Then I can hopefully get the conversion done for you Davey.

Yes, no, ZOMGVOOT, and yes, respectively. Totally in.mrtie wrote:Get down on some Shmups, Fighters, VO:OT, or Puzzle action.
I've only really played MDIII but they're pretty similar, right? I love that game. Hopefully Ayanami will grant me a rematch from that time he destroyed me on the Saturn version long ago.mrtie wrote:MDII
Excellent. Worst case scenario, I can at least leave them with you and pick them up some other time.mrtie wrote:Then I can hopefully get the conversion done for you Davey.
This weekend as in now, or next weekend? Don't think anything is going on this weekend (today and tomorrow), but you're more than welcome to stop by AFC and play some Zero Gunner. =)`Throwdown wrote:I posted earlier In in the Cleveland area looking for "shmupers" but Ive been raised in Flint for 19 years. <3 Michigan.

Lol, been a while since you've been there then =PDale wrote:Any new light gun games at AFC? Razing storm, let's go Jungle,VC3,GhostSquad? Last time I checked I think you guys just had HOTD4 and TC4.
We've had let's Go Jungle for quite a while now, a pretty good game. We've also had Ghost Squad for a while. The action buttons were broken off a while back, and we do have functioning replacements, but they kind of suck. We're going to see what we can do about getting new guns, but they're ridiculously expensive. We had Virtua Cop 3 for a short while, but it didn't do very well at all, so they rotated it out. We no longer have any TC games... sad, I know. Hopefully, we'll be able to get TCIII back sometime soon though.
We don't have Razing Storm, and I'm actually not sure if they're going to consider buying it. It is a decent game though.
If you are looking to play any of those in particular, like VC3, I can find out what location it's at and let you know.
Your laptop tate method works great. Can't believe I didn't think of that before.Crow_Winters wrote:Herro Michigan.
Virtua Cop? I have no idea. You'd think Gameworks (being owned by Sega) would have it. D&B's I can't say for sure. Their locations all seem to have the same games and not really have anything too out of the ordinary. I remember looking at their site a while back and it had a list of games they have, so I imagine it's pretty much the same for every location and they stick to Fast & Furious, Golden Tee, DDR, etc.Dale wrote:Why does D&B's or a Gameworks around here have it?
Don't worry I know how awesome VC2 and 3 are. I just wanted to know where you played Razing Storm at?
Their should be a law against an Arcade not having a TC game. The government would offer grants so that any establishment with more then two cabs can get TC2.

I did great so much water and milk that I threw up when I was little.
Oh crap, Crow has a shmups account now.
Welcome to the Michigan thread, it is several pages long.
Davey, yeah I will let you destroy me in MD3 next time you are around. I can bring my Saturn copy or we can play on mame if you want.
I should hold a meet at my house some time. I can get many screens down there in the basement. Shmuppy Shmup Shmups.
