Muchi Muchi Pork
Mush1
Progear
Strikers Plus
RFJet
Strikers 1945
Raiden II & III
Air Assault

Although in the last 2-3 years we've had Ketsui, Esp2, Strikers 1999, Batrider, Fire Shark, Pink Sweets and Ibara.

Most important part of our main shmup arcade is the people though! Great games
and a really great, friendly crowd!

And you forgot Night Raid DEL! That gets at least a credit a year at Casino! Plus Xevious, Galaga etc...

Also, where is Raiden II? I know RIII is at Las Vegas on Wardour Street...

EDIT - missed out a word!

We also have two machines with strikers, the one at Caisno and the one at Troc next to the dodgems which looks like a 4 year old made the cab out of a fruit machine and a fridge

It's called multi-tasking. For some folks, they have no problem handling more than one task at any given time. ^_~

Oh yeah this place.. haha, I went to a local Fish & Chip shop recently and they had old cabs there. Raiden DX, Metal Slug 4, and Street Fighter EX 2 Alpha (or something like that, it had the skeleton dude in it). The cabs had "Yifans" where the marquees go.

I haven't been there in a long time.. they have Futari? Raiden 4? WTF? I need to visit there on my next day off.

Oh, this was bumped.

This is the only footage of the arcade that I know of. I tried getting some footage myself, but my camera died almost as soon as I turned it on. This was about a month or so ago.

Apparently they now have the latest Initial D and the latest KoF.

Did Dateline NBC send someone in undercover to shoot that footage or what? Looked like an absolutely massive arcade. Wish we had one worth a shit here in St. Louis.

Someone uploaded a better vid, which shows basically everything. Now I don't have to bother. Thanks, guy.

My favourite thing about Yifan's is how stoned the guys that work there are.

Wow - not one shooter in a whole state?

That's real tough luck! Have you tried the shmupmeets board?

My favorite thing about Yifan's is not going there, it's showing everyone online that I did. Excellent arcade though. I actually failed to find the place the first time I heard about it.. I mean, it could be the whole fact that it's UNDERGROUND, and there's no signs outside at all, and it's in a back street. I had to ask some dairy for directions.

We can't all have Futari at home...

we have 1 "legitimate" arcade here. It's an Aladdin's Castle in the mall. It's filled with light gun games, DDR, racing games and other such stuff. Actual cabs include

Marvel vs Capcom 2
Soul Calibur 2
Soul Calibur 3
Street Fighter 2 champion edition

No shooting games at all.

There used to be a Monopoly pinball machine but it's gone.
