Shmupmeet near Montreal, QC, Canada - OCTOBER 1ST 2022

Post by Liquidus0 »

***

08/22/22


NEXT MEETING : SATURDAY OCTOBER 1ST, STARTING AT 1PM


***
08/05/20

With the Covid-19 situation still going on but somewhat stable here in Quebec, I wanted to start again having people come by for a shmup night. First time since march 2020 people were coming to my house to play games. One of my friend came with his son.

We had a lot of fun with the cabs (with the F3 Multi and some Cave games). He also had a blast with Recca, his first time trying it.

Can't wait for things to get back to "normal" and have more people drop by.

Wow pretty cool! I've been checking this subforum for the last 3 years hoping to see meets held in Québec. Cool to see one pop up! I'll be following this thread.

Post by Liquidus0 »

Held a meeting last week. Ten persons allowed in house in Quebec and ten persons we were. Fun times with V-V, Dodonpachi, Hokuto No Ken, Tetris TGM, Aka to Blue and Infinos EXA as you can see on the pictures.

Next meeting would be on November 27th. From 1PM to 2AM.

I have 9 cabs and about 150 arcade games (50 shmups among them). Not counting the multis (CPS2, NAOMI, ST-V, F3).

Let me know if there is interest from you guys.

Smooth meet last weekend. 4 people only, but more opportunity to chat with each other.

A friend brought very nice pcbs : the Raizing Bat trilogy, Mach Breakers (lot of fun with this one), Outfoxies and Outzone.

Are you going to be setting up another meet anytime soon? (I understand that maybe you still want the covid cases to subside)

I will eventually when it's allowed.

There is a series of reduction of sanitary measures starting today in Quebec. 4 persons or 2 household are allowed in a private residence.

When the limit is lifted, or 15-20 people is allowed, I'll organize something.

When restrictions lift on your end, we'd like to plan a trip to come meet you guys if you're okay with having some of us Ontario people over.

I'm new to the forums but a long-time lurker for tips on CRTs and setups. I live in the West Island area of Montreal and would be interested in a meetup if there's any interest.

I could host: my setup is nothing like Liquidus0's, but I have 3-4 CRTs with 4-player SNES, N64, PS2 and Wii.

September 10th and Oct 1st both sound like fantastic dates, but I'll have a talk with the rest of the crew and see which of the dates they prefer!
