The Midwest Shmupmeet..*Dates now Posted*

DantesInferno · Post by **DantesInferno** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 5:58 am

After I realized there are a few of us in this area..and after Stormowl kind of brought it up in OT..I thought I could sponsor a shmupmeet for us in the area, and anyone else who would like to come. As far as space goes, I have quite a bit. I have two spare bedrooms, three couches, a couple loveseats and TONS of floorspace. I will get a list of all the games/systems/pcbs I have eventually, and anyone can bring whatever they want. I currently use a 32" sony xbr to game on, but I am trying to get a 34" henterax rgb monitor. Either way, we will be fine I think. I am thinking maybe have it from Friday to Sunday..possibly a cookout on Sat. night. I am taking off three weeks at the end of March/beginning of April. I was also thinking about waiting until Ibara was released so I could have it for play. So sometime in there is my target date for the shoot-fest. Sound good? GREAT! I will add more details later.

Where in the midwest do you live exactly? I'm in Chicago myself.

Stormowl · Post by **Stormowl** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 2:42 pm

i'm effing there. i'd say wait until Ibara comes out, that would make a killer shmupmeet. March/April sounds perfect. didn't you say you had a built in bar too?

Valgar · Post by **Valgar** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:43 pm

Do you have Mushihime already? That would be crazy to play Ibara!
All I have is a Matt Supergun + Ketsui hooked to a commodore. I am located in Madison, Wisconsin btw.

Kiel · Post by **Kiel** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 4:20 pm

Yeah where are you? I'm in Minnesota. I'd deffinetly like to go if I'm able to.

Davey · Post by **Davey** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 6:12 pm

I'd be a maybe, as it would be a long, but doable, drive for me. Right now I'm working on a temporary basis, so I'm not sure if I'll be employed at that time or where I'll be living.

DantesInferno · Post by **DantesInferno** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 6:45 pm

Mushi..yes
Home Bar...yes

My basement is finished and is like..one huge room with one bedroom which houses my gameroom. The rest is just a nice big room with the bar and a home theater setup. I would like to have a pool table someday. Shmupfest 2005 is beginning to take shape!!

As far as Ibara goes, I have a bonus coming in early march and I am going to take 90% of it and put it toward my home and the other 10% will go to Ibara..and maybe Raiden III depending on how good it is. Gigawing Generations will most likely also make an appearance if I get it for ps2 by then. I will keep everyone updated by pm with more details, or I will post on this thread.

If this "shmupmeet" will happen later on (i.e. late spring, summer) when I get my vacation time, I'm there. That's a bit of a drive for me, but I think it'd be worth it. Add me to your PM list if you're doing one for this event. I'm definitely interested. Also, I 2nd the Viper Phase 1 thing above...

Kiel · Post by **Kiel** » Mon Jan 31, 2005 4:53 pm

Sees list of shooter....

Holy crap

I can bring my component video super gun, a tate TV, You have all the PCBs I have so I dont think those would be worth bringing. (Ketsui, ESPrade, Progear, Batrider)

*Also I'll be driving to Omaha this weekend so I'll get a better idea of how long it will take to get there as all I would do is go east on 80 instead of west to Nebraska.

captain ahar · Post by **captain ahar** » Mon Jan 31, 2005 7:06 pm

could someone help me get there? i am currently without a car (or license, yes at 20 years old). i looked into some greyhound fares but Dantes hometown is limited service (they will only plan the bus when they get a certain number of requests). they do have regular stops between Grand rapids (where i am in MI) and IA, such as Chicago and Des Moines, but regardless of where i go i would need a ride to get to the meet. i would be more than happy to help with gas and whatnot.

if anyone is available shoot me a pm.

Ugh. I wouldn't have any way to get there either then. God damn bus. It's never let me down before.

I sould also note that the weekend of April 16th I'll be at my brothers wedding, But you mentioned end of March beginning of April so....whatever.

captain ahar · Post by **captain ahar** » Thu Feb 10, 2005 7:55 pm

is anything still happening for this? it just seems to have sunk by a large margin in the forums

Moved topic to new Shmupmeets board.

Left a shadow link in topic's original location.

well i think dantesinferno is probably going to wait on updates until he has a more firm date established. it's quite clear from this thread that there is definite intrest.

DantesInferno · Post by **DantesInferno** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 8:36 am

There is much interest..there are a few people around here who want in on it too. I am trying to lock down a date when everyone can be there. I'm also working on setting up another gaming area in my basement. If we get more than 20 people the gameroom will start to get cramped. I also recently snagged up a NEO GEO system so anyone with carts can bring them. I'll also be updating my game list soon too as I have made a few new acquisitions.

captain ahar · Post by **captain ahar** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 11:09 pm

i can actually contribute something (depending on the timing). i just sent away for Great Mahou Daisakusen (like a moron, since I can't play it on my own now). i'll bring it if i can make it to the meet.

Marionette · Post by **Marionette** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 4:16 am

Count me in. I am about two hours away. Are you anywhere close to Burlington? My mother and stepfather live there. I don't have a lot to contribute that you don't already have, but I would still like to come try some games out. Not to mention, school you fellas on Gunbird.

I can bring quite a few carts then.

it's looking like it will be held in muscatine iowa, which is located just west of davenport.

Dante! I am going to Burlington to see my mom this Saturday, would it be ok to drop by? I would like to have a half-assed idea of how to get there.
