Are you the same D that is also on insertcredit?

D · Post by D » Fri Jun 17, 2005 8:10 am

I'm not on the Insert Credit forum if that's what you mean.
I do however visit the site everyday if that helps.

Funny that when I ask all dutch citizens to look into their agenda you, from Japan, respond.

I'm not dutch, but I work just down the road from Almere in Amersfoort pretty regularly

The funfair in Almere a couple of weeks back was a disappointment - I was hoping they might have brought some arcades but it was only a small thing with a few rides

Heh, I'd come, even though I'm a bit of a shmup noob. I live in Oegstgeest ,near Leiden, but I have free train rides anyway

Are there ANY arcades in the Netherlands besides in Scheveningen?
Get your arcade rush in in Scheveningen. Haven't been there in years though. Arcades are forbidden in The netherlands it seems. Even in The Capital. There isn't a single machine to be found anywere. Besides in a few coffeeshops (yes coffeeshops) out of the centre of Amsterdam.

I know. born and raised.

TNT,

Thanks.

I live in Almere we got an arcade too full of Sega stuff!

no fighters though no shmups. probably not a single traditional jamma pvb in the whole arcade. just lots of naomis, etc.

Not an awfull lot of dutch shmup fans here

If it ever happens, I might be interested. I live in Groningen.
We had a pretty good arcade over here as well. But most videogames are replaced with slot-machines. I guess gambling-addicts bring in more money...

I can bring to the table: most Saturn, Dreamcast and PS2 shmups...

Groningen, Eindhoven....dan ligt het voor de hand om de shmup meet ergens in Almere te organiseren... lekker centraal en zo en had jij net niet een mooie arkadekast voor jezelf gekocht ?

Kan zelf eventueel een AES meebrengen en de usual PS1/PS2 stuff.

AntiPasta · Post by **AntiPasta** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 2:32 pm

Almere is wat mij betreft okee. Ik kan mijn PS/SS meenemen met een aardige hoeveelheid shmups (Souky, DDP, Einhander, Raiden Project, Gradius Gaiden, et al. Helaas geen RSG)

SPACE HARRIER · Post by **SPACE HARRIER** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 8:51 pm

HOi,radiant silvergun heb ik wel.
Mischien ook leuk om mee te nemen>>heb namelijk ook GALAGA '88 voor de PC-ENGINE...heeft iemand nog meer shmups voor de pc-engine???
Heb trouwens mijn eigen club van shmups op 1UP.com..die kun je vinden onder mijn websitepagina..

Till Next Time.....TNT

Over Oostende kan ik mij niet uitspreken, maar in Blankerberge is geen schmup te bespeuren... trust me

Well D, you still up for it or did you forget you ever starting this thread (most likely)

No, I'm here.

Wait, ...and it will come.
It's not going to be this month or next month though.
I got a new job starting in december and alot of other things happ'nin.

So let's discuss what we'll be doing.
Contests?
Not that I am super good, but it would be fun I think.
So how do we do this?

most points?
Or who can survive the longest on the craziest hardest settings?
1 life, no bombs, super hard second loop difficulties?

I guess everybody brings all of their shit and we just discuss and stuff.

If anybody got any other ideas what we could do let us know!

Hey can I come aswell. I live in Antwerpen Belgium

BTW Oostende doesn't has a single shmup

Last Guardian · Post by **Last Guardian** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 5:45 pm

Don't wanna plan to far in advance, just hope to see and try out some shmup surprises from the other visiting members.

We probably should arrange for some extra tateable TV's/cables.

Damn, now there's the added pressure of making it something really worthwile for our Belgian quest

SPACE HARRIER · Post by **SPACE HARRIER** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 7:16 pm
