Ooh ok, sure. But you've gotta remember that our Casino Arcade set-up is not as snazzy as your Candy Cab Swedish extravaganza!
By the way, from your description of the Jap Batrider Master, his ship choices were Birthday (Sawblades Bomb) / Chitta (90degreee angle options) and errm...maybe Flying Baron (machine gun bomb - not sure on this one??).
I tried Birthday and Chitta last night, but I don't see their advantages

A bit of footage would be awesome.

Cheers, DEL

Birthday or Tag-T (both have sawblade-style bombs), Bornnam (only Mahou ship with 90deg homing Options), Grasshopper (rapid machinegun bomb). Pretty much identical to what I'm using in Special at the moment.

It's the ship and stage order I'm most interested in. That and any new tricks not covered by the discussion and highscore threads, and the replays I've released so far. ^_-

From here to London is a quite a stretch, but I might be able to make it. So you can add the phrase "and a half" to the current people count

For games, I'd predictably say "the more Cave the better, except for PS"

is it possible to somehow get pink sweets for the meet?

Don't know about Laydock, but I'll be there, definitely.

I got two days off from work, so I'll arrive in London on thursday, the 22nd. I'll go back on the following sunday. I've already booked my room at the Barry House and both of my flights. I'm paying a total of 1 cent for each flight.

I really do wonder how the airline makes a profit with prices like these..

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 12:52 pm

what about sven666? is he available?
oh and the following guys all stay at barry house:
LUN
NEV
BR1
Fontaz
Hinatafan
me and myself

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 2:02 pm

That's Great News Herr Schatten! See you there.

Plasmo & Himself - I'll try for Pink Sweets, but I'm not sure if any locals have it

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 2:14 pm

Great news indeed Herr! We'll complete our booking in a few day, Bhasin was really kind and all seems perfect

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 12:03 pm

OK! We have officially booked our rooms at the barryhouse. Added with pleasure rjpageuk to our group at the last minute, all went right ^__^

DEL: where is the Casino arcade located? Is it near the Barryhouse?

Another thing: I'm quite interested in the Game On exhibition at the Science Museum, any info?

I guess this is the same exhibition that was in Tilburg (NL) a while ago?

If so, it's quite interesting, although it's targeted at people who don't know a thing about video games at all. Gamers like us don't learn anything new.

The exhibition gives a rough outline of what video games are about. It shows the evolution of different genres (for shmups the examples are Gradius, R-Type II and Einhänder) and also has rooms dedicated to other aspects of gaming, like gaming systems (although you can look at the original systems, the games shown are in emulated form).

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 1:06 pm

I don't know if it's the same, but from your words seems that the answer is yes. We'll see, if we find some time it could be good enough for me. I'd also like to have a good amount of generale sightseeing ^_^

rjpageuk · Post by **rjpageuk** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 1:34 pm

Some stuff in London is expensive to see (Tower of London, London Eye, Maddam Tussauds, St Pauls Cathedral, Westminster Abbey) but lots of things are free (all museums and art galleries) so there should be plenty of things to do whatever your budget

.

Many thanks for squeezing me in LUN.

That exhibition sounds like fun to me.

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 1:51 pm

yay rj!
oh and does anyone have a map of london.im arriving at luton airport and i guess its quite a long way to go from there to barrys house isnt it?

rjpageuk · Post by **rjpageuk** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 2:15 pm

Information on how to get to barryshouse from all of the major airports can be found on the barryhouse website:

http://www.barryhouse.co.uk/barryhouse/ ... .htm#luton

I linked you to the details from Luton Airport PLASMO. You will need to either book train tickets to get you from Luton Airport Parkway to Kings Cross Thameslink or it seems you can get a bus from Luton Airport to London.

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 2:24 pm

Uhm:
Hard Rock Cafe, 150 Old Park Lane, London W1 Tel: 020 7629 0382

It'd be a pleasure to spend some drinking-time there, if possible

Kaede · Post by **Kaede** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 5:59 pm

Guys have you decided the exact date of the Casino meet yet? All I can see from this thread is that the weekend of 23rd to 25th of Feb has been decided?

It'd be great to meet DEL properly this time, after buying Silvergun from him I had to be somewhere else...

Also, rjpageuk will you be coming down with CVM?

And finally are completely untalented shmup players like myself welcome at this meet? I will probably just gawp at everyone elses skills.

Cheers

Plasmo · Post by **Plasmo** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 8:38 pm

i heard CVM is too busy with other useless stuff like rl but i really want to meet him again.hes very skilled but unfortunately rather unknown and doesnt post anywhere.

i really miss him.

That's pretty much exactly what I'm going to do, so don't worry.

Just to confirm, the actual playing part of the Meet will be Friday 23rd evening and the whole of Saturday 24th Feb.

LUN wrote;

Yes you should. I guess Friday morning/afternoon until 5.30pm and the whole of sunday should be for sightseeing. If you decide to go to the huge (and FREE) Natural History Museum (Dinosaurs etc) on sunday, I'll join you.
The Science Museum history of video games thing is expensive at £8.50 and my only real interest in it would be the working 'Space War' 1962 game. But even that would only hold my interest for 1 minute.

That's a decent place, but a bit off the West End track. I have some other Friday/Sat night bars lined up too. Herr Schatten & I went to The Porterhouse (3 floor bar) at the end of London Meet II - It has the ingredients

.
In fact, you guys should look to Herr Schatten for sightseeing expertise

He visited the TATE modern during London Meet I with Super Laydock.

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 11:17 am

Some cool stuff here! The playing time you said is perfect to me.
- Natural History Museum: that's interesting. Probably exchange the Game on with this is a good choice (dinosaurs!)

- Hard Rock Cafe: Kati-sama is particularly interested in this but no problem, I trust you and Mr. Shadow about bars and similar stuff!

Welcome aboard Kaede

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 12:32 pm

LUN - Seeing as Kati-sama is interested in the Park Lane Hard Rock, we can certainly go there. Just 1 bus ride 5-10mins from the Trocadero, or a tube trip to Green Park Station.

I am working on Chris, he wont be coming down with me because he lives the other side of London from me but I am hoping he will make an appearance at some point during the weekend

Kaede · Post by **Kaede** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 1:56 pm

Cool, thanks guys. I will turn up on the Saturday morning at Casino and stay until....whenever.

Looking forward to meeting you all!

lol true, I remember all you guys from my days lurking on Ika.co.uk...I wonder what CCCShiner is doing now?

Edge · Post by **Edge** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:05 pm

I am also interested to join the fun. But I can't confirm anything yet.

I and some of my friends could stay for one weekend in London. I'd probably hang out one day (saturday) with you guys. The other day or days I'd go and explore the city with my friends. Well, I have to ask them and also see how much the flight and the stay in the hotel will cost.

Any chance to see one fighter cab at the meet as well. How about Tekken, anyone?

Kaede · Post by **Kaede** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:09 pm

Edge, Casino usually has a number of fighting games set up. Last time I was there about a month ago they had Tekken 5, SF3.3, KOF '98, Virtua Fighter 4.

Oh, and a couple of SF2 machines to play (Some things never change!).

hehe, that's nice. Also looking forward to meet you there, Kaede.

Have someone summarized all those guys who want to come to this meet?
Seems like quite a bunch will gather there.

Lol, cool stuff, hopefully some random people could pop-up anytime during the meet ^__^
But if you can please correct that "AES" into "AEX", thanks (if you can't no prob, of course)!
And thanks for putting DDP into the CAB too, you know what I mean
