France_Paris & suburbs_Shmup Meetings & Arcade

[spadgy]

I just flipped through this thread all over again. I think it's clear the French shmup family are the kings of shmupmeets. Great work guys...

[olisan]

A long way to a little party!

Arcade with MOTW and TGM2.

The best of all: RIDGE RACER!!!

[caincan]

as we must think, you too are the best, so any world shmuppers place is good to see and motivates others !

fun & cute cabs we played there .

the next saturday afternoon-12pm, . march 24, meeting is still there

~20 cabs in the run, various shmups & pcb, 3 dedicated sega twins, 2 dmd pinballs, house of dead 4. the most massive private place in Paris from ages !! (not very far from Paris north station Eurostar ...)

expect after pics & vidz to let missing people cry

[Animaitor]

20 cabs? I'm already crying.

[caincan]

you have second chance to sell your soul ( ), at just ~3 hours from you (220km !!). JAM has a private arcade with lots of cabs ?! (France, southwest, Gers, 32)

What the...



I already have 3 Egrets at home and feel guilty as hell. Can't imagine owning a whole game center Would love to go but I'm slammed with work. If I ever stop by Paris with my daughter and wife someday, I'll keep this place in mind. Does JAM have a carousel for the kids? Enjoy the party!

Edit: wait, it's not in Paris but only 220km away from my house?!

Last party at Tortue's playground!
A good mix of twins-euro cab-megalo-pinballs.

[caincan]

THX for your pics. Leika power . big mix yes . kind people & fellas. pinballs made other fans this day i guess... , just bad luck/timing repair for faulty things (megalo2, hotd4). but the cabs were okay and 25" hantarex/polostar screeens bright for shmups & more.

[caincan]

this weekend, Stunfest in Rennes (2hours train from Paris). back again. still strong. perhaps one day it'll overcome the EVO championship in fame...

in shmups matter it's said that yesterday, these Pcb were present :

Dangun feveron, salamander 2, mushi futari BL, thunder cross 2, game tengoku, sexy parodius, samouraï aces, Gun Frontier, Raiden 2, Outzone, Batrider, Battle garegga, Dragonblaze, EspGaluda 2, V-V, Kingdom grandprix, Night raid, ...

Bumping sort of a strange thread for me... But I'll be in Paris with my family, visiting my Uncle in Ivry-Sur-Seine, from July 1-July 11. I dunno if you guys would feel like playing some games or something, but it might be fun if people are around. I don't really speak any Francais, though...

[olisan]

Hi,
Sorry to tell you that but you came just 2 days later...
You missed my event at home on saturday.

Nothing really for now this week, but don't forget to go:
