Seattle - Full Tilt Ice Cream in Ballard - NO SHMUPS

[wnka]

Giga Wing is out, replaced with a non-shmup.

[marus]

NOOOOOO!

Wait, what game?

[wnka]

Turtles in Time. Do people try to 1cc those games?

[mesh control]

that is fucking disgusting.

RIP TAKUMI

[wnka]

if only Takumi games could make profits as large as their scores...

[marus]

I'm torn. I'm sad to see the number of shmup PCBs dwindle, but Turtles in Time is a pretty fun game.

[wnka]

Yea it's a bummer to see the number of shmups go from 2 to 1, but it's understandable since a lot of kids go to Full Tilt and they're much more likely to play (and enjoy) Turtles in Time than Giga Wing or Mushihimesama.

Mushi will likely get swapped out with another shmup soon.

[wnka]

Mushihimesama has been swapped out for Gunbird 2!

Hey guys i just moved to the Seattle area (SeaTac) from CT and I don't really know people but I heard this place was a cool place to check out.

[marus]

It is! Unfortunately there's only one shmup there at the moment (Gunbird 2) but there's some other good games and a ton of pins if you're into that. We usually meet up there every Tuesday starting around 7:30-8:00pm. We also have a Facebook group called Northwest STG which we use to organize other shmupmeets - it's a closed group so you'll need to request permission to join.

[wnka]

Welcome to the area! You should definitely come one Tuesday and meet folks!

[RealPlumpBox]

Oh i will! I love shmups but boy do i suck at them. I am going to try to make it down hopefully in about 2-3 weeks (prior engagements). Also i dont have a facebook profile so i cany check out the site sorry.

It's really too bad the meetup runs so late in the day - I live all the way down in Leschi, and not even a particularly nice part of it either, so getting to Ballard takes forever and I really don't want to be walking around in my neighborhood at 10 in the evening. John John's Game Room is more central, but it doesn't have anything notably modern for our genre of choice - best it's got is Metal Slug. Maybe if they switched 1943 out for something else, maybe even that R-Type cab in from Add-a-Ball.

Oh well, c'est la vie.

[wnka]

Some of us are there other days too, I'm pretty much down to go whenever on weekends and stuff so feel free to suggest a time to meet up. It's always nice to meet more shmup folk!

[marus]

Yeah, I've been busy lately but I'm down to do random meets if people want to hang out.

[wnka]

Gunbird 2 has been swapped out for Ketsui

[man9child]

Power up!

[wnka]

These meetups have moved to Thursdays!

[djSyndrome]

Stopped by last night to check the place out; Ketsui is in and it looks beautiful. First time ever playing it

Will try to stop by on a Thursday night and meet some of you fine folks! What time on Thursday normally do people wander in?

[wnka]

Cool! People tend to start showing up around 8pm. Look forward to meeting you!

[wnka]

Ketsui has been swapped out for RayForce!

Watch STGWeekly for tips!

I was there last Fri playing this, boarded a few times, too.

I went to Mama Mia's in the University district last night. They've got a few multicades there, played 1943, Pulstar, Blazing Star, Aero Fighters and Shock Troopers 2.

Hey! That was Piccolos Pizza when I went to UW. I used to go there to play MKII, but hardly anybody else was ever there. I remember it being quite hot in there. Do they still do free play Wednesdays? Glad to hear they've revamped their arcade for the better.

Yeah, same place, different machines though, no pinball. Mama Mia's multicades are always on free play, but aren't always in working order, plus some of the games are hacked versions which ruin them. Good bargain, though!

[KevinDDR]

Rayforce has been swapped out for Tenkomori Shooting! Come and play or there won't be shmups at Full Tilt anymore

[rjosal]

Walk ins don't play the shmups? Lame.

[wnka]

Raiden Fighters JET has been swapped in!

[marus]

Oh thank god, a real game.

[wnka]

Raiden Fighters Jet is out, Armed Police Batrider is IN!
