London Casino Crew meets (RIP the Arcade)

Post by **spadgy** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 8:10 pm

I just cane back from some time with MMP, and saw your latest score DEL. Amazing stuff.

I'm starting to get the hang of the scoring slowly.

Like RupertH, I'm really going to devote myself to this one while it's in, whatever Progear thinks...

Thanks so much for keeping arcades alive!

Uncle CHI ´- Whats up with the MMP stick? Did someone steal the ball?
If the problem is fixable, just drag the staff downstairs.

Well, I had a shot at this since I'm in town, and it seems like a really fun game. It's a shame that both of the sticks are completely unplayable (P1 is bent now as well as having a detachable ball, and P2 seems to have malfunctioning diagonals).

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Thu Jan 01, 2009 8:15 pm

So somebody bent the Player 1 Sanwa. Luckily we have an exact replacement from LUNardei. I will give it to Uncle CHI, who can briong it down every day until; he catches Bob to set it up.

Nice one DEL, CHI, and LUNardei. If any other sticks there need replacing, I have a couple of Sanwa's spare...

how the hell...

must have been one hell of a hectic gaming session?

if people are stealing your balls just put a little loctite in it when you screw it on.

I noticed the bent stick on Weds when I was in, made playing a bit hard.

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Fri Jan 02, 2009 6:19 pm

The bent Sanwa is an odd occurrance. Last time anyone bent a stick in the London arcades was in the late 80s (KAC), but he would have never bent a stick in Casino arcade.

Thanks for the extra stick offer spadgy. There should be no need though, I'll be bringing LUN's Sanwa down on sunday.
With loctite for the pork-pink ball

BTW I'm planning to resume my weekly arcade shmup fix next Friday. Usualish time, somewhere between 6:30 and 7:30ish.

anyone else going down?

CHI · Post by **CHI** » Sat Jan 03, 2009 8:38 pm

well for the past week, i've been going down to Casino after work trying to play the game and trying to sort out the bloody bent stick but... recently theres this oriental guy hogging on to MMP, credit after credit, pound after pound...

anyways papa DEL, once i have the spare sanwa stick i try and get Bob for the switch...tomorrow maybe

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Sat Jan 03, 2009 10:43 pm

Maybe that was Kusogaki from the NeoEmpire training camp. Hogging pork that is.
Unlikely to be him who bent the stick. Maybe that older white guy who gets angry with the machines...

- Not me, the guy who never talks, just smashes.
& less of the papa! I'm only a couple of years older than you.

Post by **spadgy** » Sun Jan 04, 2009 5:33 pm

CHI is that old? Wow!

I'd bet money on the mysterious angry man bending the stick - boy does he get agitated by his hobby. I know you let slip the occasional exclamation DEL, but you've got nothing on that guy!

Shame MMP is getting hogged. Most of us are always very conscious of sharing the play time we have.

Taylor · Post by **Taylor** » Sun Jan 04, 2009 8:47 pm

This is why we can't have the nice things.

SPADGY WROTE;

Shame MMP is getting hogged. Most of us are always very conscious of sharing the play time we have.

Apparently its Mr Hong Kong MHK hogging pork all week, 15 back-2-back credits in a row each night. Desperate to get his tag in the hi-sc rankings.

Uncle CHI and I went there this afternoon. Uncle CHI now has the replacement Sanwa. His mission: to install. He will go there every day after 6pm, as he works on Tottenham Ct Rd.

He could be there a while then, with your effort so far DEL! Hopefully if there's a few of us there when it's being hogged and we're all waiting, we can politely suggest he shares!

Anyway, this Friday mr_m0nks, I need to check I'm not otherwise committed, but if not I can be there from about 7.30pm - too late for you?

Skykid · Post by **Skykid** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 2:31 pm

I can confirm Mr Hong Kong has been spotted getting frustrated with the duff sanwa. Don't blame him either, it keeps unscrewing in your hand during play and it's really annoying. The P2 stick is just rubbish though.

Did have a fairly good run on Pork though, only ever played it once before at the shmupmeet ages back. Got to stage 4.5 (that'll be the mid-boss). How many stages are there?

I did get my tag in the hi-score rankings with 88 million last saturday and will leave MMP in peace.

Noticed the stick wasn't straight and tried to unbend the stick by bending it in the opposite direction. Got it horribly wrong and the stick was worse than before.

Yes I saw that 88 score. But don't leave it! A new stick will go in soon and you can attack

EDIT:- Anyway, you can't leave it when you're so close to the 1-ALL.

Yeah - don't stop playing all together!

well im sure del can just off that score and monopolise the high score table again.

Post by **spadgy** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 8:12 pm

Right - I'm there on Friday then, From about 7.30pm

You're correct in saying that, assuming MHK will never get a higher score. Hope MHK is not as rubbish as you think as monopoly is never a good thing.

DELs 116mil is a great score allright but definetly beatable, i think the WR for 1 loop is close to 300 mil isnt it?

sven666 wrote:i think the WR for 1 loop is close to 300 mil isnt it?

No, it's 255mil w/ Momo. The 2-ALL WR is 308mil, also w/ Momo. Here is the full list of WRs in this game:

1 Loop - Momo - 255.604.100
1 Loop – Ikuo - 250.999.330
1 Loop - Rafute - 233.570.190
2 Loop - Momo – 308.994.230
2 Loop – Ikuo - 235.479.870
2 Loop - Rafute - 298.150.380

Getting over 120mil in this game (with any character) is not very hard.

^Very true. I'm only just starting to get used to this game. I'll try and chase down your 165mil from 2 weeks time

So now Casino has Blazbleu. Just in case any fighter players want to know...
