Are we looking at a follow up to Space Moth...?
Not a direct sequel, but... it's a shmup. A hori this time.

Well, after Space Moth I’m down for whatever you guys put out. Look forward to hearing more when the time is right.

So I suppose it isn't one of those Pandora's Box cabs :?
Weirdly they had a couple in the ski hotel I was at in France last year. Had a small bundle of shooters. I spent a fair amount of apres ski time on Captain Tomaday of course. Its no Pink Sweets but.....

Sorry for the late reply DEL.

I haven't been lurking here!

It is indeed a Pandora's box. I went back a couple of weeks after my last post and found dodonpachi and progear on that same cab awfully stretched, with a vaseline smear filter and enough input lag to make it a joke.

I cannot think of anywhere now in Central London that has shooting games, Mark’s arcade in Croydon probably does it’s called The Hog.

I believe there's a Pandora-like-machine (multi platform games including shmups) downstairs of Las Vegas on Wardour Street.
If you're a serious player don't bother playing it, but if you're scratching that little itch it's fun to have a laugh :mrgreen:

I've still not visited The HOG at Croydon, I'm sure it's fun to stay once arranged with shmups :roll:

Regs, CHI

Ok, let me start this off (as always)...

Who's in London? I'm thinking/planning for a meet or two, starting early August...
Some kid/boy/man from the East is back in London for 6 weeks :idea:

I'm in - if I'm in London on said date - but you know that already, don't you CHI!
Have we found a pub to install an Astro City in yet and restart the shmup meet..?

He's alive :lol:

dan76, did anyone get back to you?
I've tried to book a booth but the numbers are too small.
I will be there straight after work from Chinatown, my wife will come a bit later when she is done.
Peeps can go there first, if not can meet me and we all stroll there :mrgreen:
