Missourian here! Missourian who wishes arcades would PAY MORE RESPECT TO SHMUPS! I haven't seen an arcade with a good shmup in years...

Kansas City, MO has a mall with Raiden Fighters in it. Can't remember the name of it though. Northeast Kansas here.

Sorry to see this now after you posted at the beginning of the summer. I live in Missouri!!! Need to meet up and have a shmup session! I wish Dr. Shinobi was still around, he was from the Columbia area IIRC.

Yep, we go by Lake St. Louis and O'Fallon whenever we have to travel to the city. Just wish you had your Astro City cabs in St. Louis. :cry: :lol:

I'm likely going to be in KC this weekend w/ the wife for a "last blast of summer" kind of thing - where's that arcade w/ Raiden Fighters in it? I'd love to play the real deal instead of just an emulated version. Also, would any KC-area shmuppers be interested in meeting somwhere in town? At the very least, are there any good game shops in KC? I've been to one in a mall (several years ago, it sucked & was small) and of course a Funcoland store, but are there any that have imports or a decent selection of used stuff? I'd like to know where to shop before I head that direction.

I live in the greater Kansas City area (Overland Park). We still have arcades here? All the ones I went to as a kid are long gone.

Ah, you remember Oak Park Mall then I bet? Oak Park Mall had ONE shmup, one. Then that arcade shut down. We used to play DDR on our lunch breaks and the guy would give us little piddly plastic swords and stuff, around when they were shutting down. It was really sad.

You on the east side I take it by the IL listing? Any arcades or shops over there that are worth bothering with?

Ok, I live right by South County Mall. I think I went in that Tilt once and never went back. Crestwood was open as of like Christmas but a buddy went by there mid-January and it was gone. Ronnie's I went in the other day, didn't have jack in it really. Still the same tired Simpsons' with ridiculously busted joysticks. Probably the best arcade in South County is my basement, haha.
