Hey guys. 8 Bit Arcade and bar just opened up in Renton. I have not been there yet so I am not sure if they have shmups or not. I just figured I would let you all know.

We try to meet up every once in a while, but folks haven't been coming out to Full Tilt much lately.

Everyone still plays to some extent, but we haven't been having meetups consistently lately. I think most of us are just busy with other things at the moment.

I'd be down to have a meetup sometime though - it's been a while!

If you want to meet me at least, it'll be super convenient now because the pinball tournaments at FTB have been moved to Thursdays so I'll be there anyway! WNKA usually comes to those too. We really do need to have a Northwest STG meetup again soon. My place or WNKA's?

Finisherr, you should join the Northwest STG group on Facebook. We post some info from time to time there.

Hey, I live in Bend, OR but was going to be up in Seattle pretty soon.

Is there an updated list of what shmups (if any) are at Full Tilt currently?

Not sure what's going on, but was at Full Tilt Ballard last night and the third cab (which usually has the shmups?) appeared to be down.

The shmups cab is having power supply problems, it should be fixed soon. Will update.

WNKA dropped off a power supply for it today. It should be back up and running soon. :)

I quit Facebook about two years ago. Thanks for the tip though.

Ah, my bad. I'll try and be more proactive about posting meetup details on the forums as well. Our last meetup was at my house; we had two cabs and streamed the vert cab the entire night. Pretty fun stuff! :)

Espgaluda 1 has been replaced with... a non-shmup. So currently there are no shmups, which is a bummer. The current games in the 3 candy cabs are:

- Super Street Fighter II Turbo
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Turtles in Time
- Bubble Symphony

Hopefully we can get a shmup installed in the future. To be honest, the Thursday meetups pretty much died down, so the shmup probably didn't get much play.

Shit. I was in Seattle recently for a work trip. It was organised so last minute I had no chance to check in here. I found loads of good pinball in Seattle (Shorty's was ace!), but not enough arcade cabs. Next time I'll head to Full Tilt!
