Excellent, i dont have a video camera though:x all i have is a digicam with a 30 second limit and a mates cam with 100seconds. I sure hope someone else has a cam they could bring along, we need to get Mills s1945 ALL recordedDEL wrote:April 23rd is still the date.
Ex_Mosquito - You°re absolutely right, Casino first then Trocadero later to view Mills do a Strikers 1945 ALL. I think he would like you to record his 2nd loop.
Brokendivide - Glad to see you°re aboard! Border Down is MIA at the moment. I know the engineers there & will ask where it is.
Euro Teams - We will keep it to April 23rd unless you "collectively" can°t make it on that date.

April 23rd
Herr Schatten - Of course you're wanted! Pls contact Raiden & try to fly over.
Diabollokus - It would indeed be good to have a Northern Ireland contingent!
About 3 weeks ago, I asked John Sturges (Casino Owner) to get RAIDEN III in. He was a bit gruff and said; "If it doesn't cost too much." I'll keep pestering him and see what happens.
MORE INFO
Game Shops
GAME FOCUS:- Situated on Goodge St behind the arcade. This is a fairly good Import Shop. They get the latest STGs as soon as they are released and have a good range of older console titles eg. Sexy Parodius, R-Types Collection, DDPs etc.
CEX London Branch:- Again situated behind the arcade on the way to Oxford St. They don't get new STGs, but they have a RETRO section downstairs with some PCBs and a large amount of PCEngine/Neo Geo titles.
FOOD won't be a problem. I know some places in Chinatown (not costing more than £5.00/8 Euros). Chinatown is next to the Trocadero.
FAST FOOD is next door to Casino - KFC and the only kebab shop I trust in the whole of London, situated behind the arcade. TRUST ME
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ex-Mosquito - Yes, we'll have to get someone to record Mills, he's been practising
Rando - You need to smuggle you're Ninja Butt out of Holland!!

23rd April Update
As the old saying goes;
"Man cannot live on Mush alone."
More needs to be on offer
So....
CASINO ARCADE IMPROVEMENTS
STRIKERS 1945: Last night, Mills & I got the Casino Engineer Bob to re-install Strikers 1945. It is now in the Giga Wing Generations seated cab. The display is perfect, sound is fine and the joystick is 'loose but ok'. (Mills couldn't resist an ALL to test it out).
PROGEAR: This is an example of how several cabs in Casino have been left to go into disrepair. Progear was Blue, a lazy hue of Blue. It had lost all sound and was on hard skill level. Again we had Bob sort it out. It took a while, but Progear now has colours, some sharpness, sound and the skill level has been knocked back down.
STRIKERS 1999: Bloodflowers suggested that I ask Casino for use of a Cab on the day (23rd), so that we may chop n'change our PCBs. This isn't quite possible, BUT I'm pretty sure I can get Bob to install STRIKERS 1999 in the arcade 'before' the event.
Why 1999?
1. Because there's no console port of it.
2. Its good (despite my personal mild dislike of Psikyo bullet pattern positioning).
3. I'm curious to see what Mills will do with it?
4. BER must be lonely up there in the 1999 Rankings

Ok then I am seriously interested in booking a room at the hotel from DEL's
friend.
Are there other people thinking about this that want to save money?
If so maybe we could share rooms!? I am able to pay for the rooms by CC so if you do not have this possibiliy we can sort things out.
Please PM me before April 10 at the latest, so we can arrange it!
My flight is booked but I'll wait with the hotel to see if se can get a group discount....

APRIL 23RD
I'm taking my STRIKERS 1999 PCB down to Casino today for installation. I may bring yet another game if Bob the engineer allows.
Raiden & sven - Sorry to hear you can't make it this time.
APRIL 23RD is set in stone. The London Meet will occur on that day.

So let's recap: who's coming for sure on the 23rd?
Hi,
Since some people backed out/couldn't make it I was wondering who was still planning to come to London on the 23rd of April!
I'm there fore sure, as is Herr Schatten. DEL is a given too of course, but can people who will definitely be there please let us know too?
Would be nice to know who to expect!
I am quite looking forward to this! Staying over in London a few days playing some games I've never seen before, hanging out the tourist... should be really fun!

Strikers 1999 is now installed (at the expense of RF1), but the cab needs quite a bit of maintenance. Hopefully it'll be sorted in time.
I'm looking forward to the meet even more after meeting up with DEL and ARC on Saturday, it was a pretty cool afternoon. I'm getting a little better at Mushihime, but the real highlight of the day had to be DEL's 1CC of maniac mode, racking up a new high score of 121 million in the process (and on his first go of the day, too.. )
Not long to go now

NEXT SAT-23rd APRIL
GOOD NEWS! A new Multigame Cab is being installed into Casino Arcade tonight. From what I've seen of it so far, its similar to the X Box Emus with a perfectly crystal clear display. I'll list the relevant games on it tomorrow.
The Strikers 1999 monitor will be fixed on Friday 22nd.
Remember - The Meet is this Sat April 23rd - all day.
Location: Casino Arcade next to Goodge St Tube station on The Northern Line, situated on Tottenham Court Road.

I might not be able to make it now, I'll see what happens. I've been put on-call at work that weekend....
By the way, enjoy the slowdown on the multigame cab - I played one of the early units at Electrocoin.

Bloodflowers - here's hoping that you can still make it .
One thing's for sure; when you're arranging group meetings, there will always be people who can't make it. No matter what weekend is chosen.
No date is suitable for absolutely everybody. All you can do is set a date.
Anyway, rest assured, there will be a certain number of guaranteed attendees on Sat

TIME OF THE LONDON MEET/SATURDAY 23RD APRIL
It will be pretty much an all day event, so you can turn up as early as you like. Your decision might depend on how much play time you wish to get on Mushihimesama?
The Arcade opens at around 10am, at which time I expect ARM to be getting in his ULTRA MODE practice
12noon onwards for all you non-ultra mode fanatics!

Wow, it really has been a fantastic weeknd in London as far as I am concerned!
Defenite high point being the shmupmeet on Saturday at the Casino Arcade.
Very impressive to finally play Mushi!
But even more impressive was it to watch DEL on this game (Absolutely amazing what he was able to pull off...). ARC and ARM both gave some impressive play on the game as well, and I could only pray for being even near as good as any of these guys on the game...
DEL even "casually" 1CCed the game to show off his skill
Another really impressive feature that day was to see Mills 1CC both loops of Strikers 1945! Amazing to see this guy in action and an unbelievable accomplishment (well believable because I even recorded the second loop on video ).
All in all this has been a fantastic day! I'd like to take this opportunity to thank and greet everyone who attended this meet and made it the success it was!
Oh, btw took a picture of Mushi's highscore table:
PS. if anyone has the space & bandwith to host the Superplay by Mills of the second Strikers 1945 loop then please let me know as I have no option to host it myself... (it's around 76MB!)

No worries ill6, but you really should have let your curiosity get the best of you and asked one of us what was going on around the Mushihimesama cab. Instead of just walking out.
Thanks to our old friend Michael Campbell, we're getting an autofire circuit attached to Mush A + C buttons on Fri/Sat this week This should even-out the playing field.
Ps. ill6 - There's another Mushihimesama cab in the arcade outside Angel tube Stn.
