Late reply but just wanted to say many thanks for hosting! Had a lot of fun playing DFK 1.5 and Futari God Mode! It’s always a great time to come over to your place and play some games.

Ended up working until the early morning today so depending on how much gets done today I might be able to make it tomorrow. So far it looks really promising, I wanna say that it’s almost guaranteed that I can make it tomorrow. I can’t do next Sunday unfortunately...

Cheers :D Many thanks for hosting, had a great time as always! DFK 1.5 is such a great game! Happy about the 2-ALL, funny that it came on the very last credit of the night.

Re: jonny5 meet - the saga is coming to a close...

Post by jonny5 »

Hey guys,

Figured I would post something here. I am in the process of getting rid of all of my arcade gear, it's time. My interest has waned to the point that there is really no sense in me keeping this stuff if it could be getting played elsewhere and enjoyed

I am putting a list together this weekend, anybody interested in anything let me know and I can shoot you the list. The Astro and Deathsmiles look like they are already spoken for, DFK kit might also be sold. Neo cab will be very cheap, include the 4 slot and a couple cheaper games(puzzle de pon, bust a move again, whatever random cheap stuff I have) - has slight monitor roll issue that seems to be related to the v size or v hold pots on the adjustment board, messing with them usually fixes things for a while. Locals get special pricing on things, saves me shipping stuff

Had a blast playing with you guys over the years, and the door is still always open. Might try and do one last meet before things leave, we shall see how things progress.

Oh, the commodore monitor and the older consoles are also up for grabs(broken SNES, working NES and rom cart(needs compact flash card)and a gamecube with Fzero GX and some tony hawk title) - make me a stupid offer, I dont care. :lol:

So ya, been a blast guys! Hit me up with any interest

Unfortunately I couldn't show up for the last couple of meets, but it was fun while it lasted. Thanks for all the good times.

if we do one last meet you have to come, I will pay for you to take a cab if needed 8)

Just realized this is probably one of the longest running, highest post threads on the forum at this point, haha.

Yeah, I think this is still my "Most posted in" thread .. I forgot where you can see that, but it was when I last checked.

Unfortunately a cab would be really expensive .. I'd have to take the VIA Rail (would take 1.5 hrs). Maybe if someone wants to give me a ride, I can pay for gas money.

Ah, didnt realize you were outside the city now - shoot me a PM and maybe we can figure something out. This weekend is no good, but perhaps next Sunday might do for one last meet up? DFK1.5 and possibly Guwange will likely be gone by then though

Thanks for the kind words Per, means a lot

Post by jonny5 »

So, how would Sunday the 6th work for people for one last blowout! Maybe we can all watch Per 2all DFK 1.5(bring yours Per 8) )

Also, anybody coming in from out of town go anywhere near Stratford? Trying to get Udderdude into town - I can shoot gas money or whatever as needed

Somebody nudge Khoa too, he should come as well 8)

Getting all emotional at my desk :oops: End of an era, but it's time. Still stings a little

Yup, Ive been hosting meets since like 2008 - you dont get to 93 pages overnight 8) July 2008 was when I started doing them. Still remember the first one, back at the old basement apartment. I think the first one was just malik11(please somebody get a hold of Oliver and make him come out!) and Udderdude - Khoa may have been there as well, althoguh I think he missed the first one and came for the second?? Long time ago either way. I didnt even have a cab yet, just a supergun and ESP Rade :lol: Anybody have the pictures from when I had the 2 astros down there with the 50in TV in the middle running Melty Blood Act Cadenza? Sadly pretty much all of the meet photos are lost now with photobucket gone tits up - I have pretty much nothing. If anybody has pictures from over the years, please shoot them to me. Id like to have them for the memories, and if people are OK with it, post them in the thread as well so the memory can be here for everyone else to see as well. Feel free to just post them here yourselves as well, just try and use a stable photo server so they dont disappear again

Doesnt feel like its been a decade, does it?

Oh damn. That's too bad. But it was damn fun while it lasted and you're always welcome to swing out south to visit the locals here.

I think I might have some pics from previous meets I can scrounge up and send you. I'll check.

You're responsible for getting me into Guwange as well as arcade hardware in general, so that makes it especially sad. ;_;
Also, anybody coming in from out of town go anywhere near Stratford? Trying to get Udderdude into town - I can shoot gas money or whatever as needed
Stratford's not too far, I'll check my schedule and if I can make it out, I can always swing by and get him first.
