SoCal Arcade meet @Droid’s aka Fatherpain Summer 2023

Post by droid »

Howdy,
Hosting an Arcade meetups through summer 2023. Usually on a Saturday from 6p til 12 midnight.

Due to my hectic and unpredictable work and family schedule, these are usually called on short notice.

Have a decent amount shmups PCBs. Some old and some newer. However, my main focus are dedicated classic 80’s arcade games. I am in Fullerton.

We often order pizza or something similar so please bring a little bit of $$$ to help with that and electricity.

Prefer attendees to be Covid Vaccinated, but not mandatory. Good hygiene a must and please don’t come over sick.

If interested in attending please reply here or via PM.

Thanks for looking
Regards
Tom

Sad I had to miss this, I hope you do another one with a bit more notice. I still think about your old meets regularly! Great times.

Glad you're still doing these buddy!

Perfect timing. I'll be in the L.A area visiting family. I'm down for this on Saturday. I'll chip in for snacks or whatever else. Just let me know.

Thank you for making it out to one of our game nights. Was a pleasure having you over. Your shmup skills translate very well to the old school shooters in the arcade! Well done sir!

Sorry to semi hijack this thread, Is there anyone or any meetup in NorCal, or somewhere in between NorCal/SoCal? I will soon move to SCV and would be great to have some shmups sessions, even if it's 2/3 people gathering in private gamerooms or something :)

Heh, I’ve added a couple, but have also moved a few out. Have rearranged the gameroom some and have been focused on decorating the space, so maybe it gives that illusion ;)
