London Casino Crew meets (RIP the Arcade)

Post by **spadgy** » Mon May 18, 2009 12:31 pm

Thanks Rupert - I'll be in town an evening this week I hope, or at the weekend. I have a back-log building at a comic store, so I'll swing by your way then.

And DEL - Your efforts are appreciated. I'd love to see a new vert - but it's win/win for me if Progear gets replaced or stays.

Is there any chace of an older cave game being put in?

I would love a bit of DDP or Dangun Fevron but Im guessing it depends on what peoeple have

I have nothing

mr_monks - At the mo its all up in the air. All I know is that I'm going down the arcade tonight to remove Pork for ill6. Unless I have something else with me, then Dodonpachi Beestorm will go back in that cab tonight (its at the bottom of the cab).

I'd be happy to donate for a permanent Pink Sweets at the Casino.

Would make for an even better reason to get back down there!

That will suit me

Ok mr_monks i'll do that for now.

Super Laydock - Funny thing is - I have actually asked ill6 about Pink Sweets again. I have unfinished business with it and local boy Kusogaki wants it back too.

Edit:-
I'll be lending one of my boards to the arcade for the Mystery Hori.

Excellent - I look forward to the mystery revealing itself! I'm up for a new Hori.

And Beestrom 2 - that's wicked too. I know it's reputation is as the least popular DDP - but I'm eager to give it a chance. Never really played it last time it was in.

And finally - anybody up for Thursday night at Casino? I'm going to try and make it...

gt mahou daisakusen? If not, I'm thinking of selling it soon.

Taylor · Post by **Taylor** » Tue May 19, 2009 4:47 pm

I'll certainly be popping down on thursday after work (6ish), but I might not be around long.

mr_m0nks · Post by **mr_m0nks** » Tue May 19, 2009 5:54 pm

I will try and make Thursday but no promises yet

Changes in plans, I will be down on Thursday

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Wed May 20, 2009 1:39 pm

Bonu$ for you guys on thursday then - I got my XEXEX board installed in the arcade last night. So you can appreciate it in all its green beauty.
Plus removed Pork for ill6. DDP Beestorm is in for mr_monks.

<3

I'll have to give that a sesh next time I'm in Town

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Wed May 20, 2009 1:52 pm

Good. But be prepared for the green.
My board doesn't do blue.
Still perfectly playable though.

Smraedis · Post by **Smraedis** » Wed May 20, 2009 7:07 pm

Oh that sounds like a nice addition, I've always wanted to play BeeStorm too, so I'd like that on

Dunno if I'll be going to London for a while now.

Does this mean Progear is not on? ^_^

Mills · Post by **Mills** » Wed May 20, 2009 8:03 pm

Konami's XEREX maybe installed by del, though unconfirmed at this time.

CHI · Post by **CHI** » Wed May 20, 2009 8:38 pm

both games are in there, i saw it after work today

i will be in casino all days this week due to the holidays i've taken

mr_m0nks · Post by **mr_m0nks** » Wed May 20, 2009 8:39 pm

popped in tonight, tried xerex and DDPII

xerex was just too much tentacle action for my liking, i wasn't quite sure what was going on or what i should be doing. maybe i can pick up some tips tomorrow night.

DDPII seemed quite cool, got to 3rd boss with a couple of credits

I will be down tomorrow night aswell

Geist · Post by **Geist** » Wed May 20, 2009 8:41 pm

Hi, just wondered if MMP is still running? I was thinking going down tomorrow.

edit: ok, it´s gone, next time I´ll try to read

mr_m0nks · Post by **mr_m0nks** » Wed May 20, 2009 8:47 pm

nah Mushi Mushi Prok is out, replaced by DoDonPachi II: Bee Storm

but come down anyway, there should be a few of us meeting up about 7-7:30ish

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Wed May 20, 2009 9:18 pm

Pork was in for 6 months, which is a pretty good run for a game lent by one of us. Many Thanks again to ill6.

mr_monks - Just beam for the first 4 stages on XEXEX. Shoot flint pod out on ST5 and hide within the arms.

Anyone crying over Progear doesn't need to. Its still there at the bottom of the cab and can be put in another cab. You've only had nine years to play it in Casino Arcade (yes, its been on every day for 8-9 years

).

mr_m0nks · Post by **mr_m0nks** » Wed May 20, 2009 9:28 pm

Yes thanks ill6. I really enjoyed the time I spent with MMP.

I think DDPII is my game of the moment now though.

pity I'm leaving London for the summer

Post by **spadgy** » Thu May 21, 2009 9:00 am

Guess what dick-for-brains forgot his mum's birthday! I can't make it tonight - I have to show the mum some love.

I'm in Friday though - gagging to try Xevex! Thanks for your efforts DEL!

And thanks ill6 - you are a very generous benefactor every one at casino should appreciate!

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Thu May 21, 2009 12:18 pm

Ok here's the deal. The Old Mills has got the Tatsujin Oh bug from watching 2nd loop replays.
So I may well issue THE CHALLENGE.
Mills to do at least 1 loop of Tatsujin Oh Easy-Squeezy JAPANESEY Version in the arcade.
'Cept its not easy.
Its hard.
As nails.
Tuff.

I Played the Euro version in Holland
I found it easy.
It was.

Then Dharmesh (ARC) said he had the board.
I said I can do it.
He invited me round.
I got my ass handed to me.
He sent me away with an Apollo stick as a Consolation Prize

His was the JAPANESE Version.
The Euro version is empty.
Same background graphics but hardly any enemies or bullets.
Now THE CHALLENGE comes round to Mills.
Can he do it?
Do you care?

I'll try and secure the lend from Dharmesh.

Post by **spadgy** » Thu May 21, 2009 12:33 pm

So am I right - we might have Tatsujin in Casino! That would be bloody superb.

If Mill's is going to do it, even if the board's just in for a day for THE CHALLENGE - I'm there to spectate!

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Thu May 21, 2009 1:00 pm

Well I've put the request in to ARC. So Mills better come down on a regular basis to session it. None of this "I don't play games anymore" bizness.

Skykid · Post by **Skykid** » Thu May 21, 2009 11:39 pm

Damn, I wanted a few more goes on Pork, but interested in the new additions. I'm done with Progear now anyway, at least after I thrashed the shit out of Spadgy's score on the more difficult Japanese version no less.

Post by **spadgy** » Fri May 22, 2009 8:27 am

Cockend!

EDIT: Actually, I mean cocknose.

mr_m0nks · Post by **mr_m0nks** » Fri May 22, 2009 12:32 pm

Spadgy, f you are down tonight I may be able to sneak down for an hour of so.

You going to be around?

Post by **spadgy** » Fri May 22, 2009 12:37 pm

Absolutely 100% - usual time - so that's about 7.30pm.

mr_m0nks · Post by **mr_m0nks** » Fri May 22, 2009 12:41 pm

Nice one, see you at the tentacle infested cab
