This does sound like it should be pretty packed!

Should be a lot of fun - I'm really stoked that there are such good people out here.
I've been kinda waiting to see if Joe T. pops his head in here - caldwert - can you hit him up? I imagine he'd be coming up with you anyways.
MMP would be awesome, especially since I tried twice to get it this past year and both times it fell through (bad timing). mrtie, I'd have to say Ketsui over MMP as its probably the greatest STG evar, but MMP is still an awesome game. One of Cave's/Yagawa's best.
I've been racking my brain for a contest title and I have a few ideas - Star Soldier Special Version (2-minute mode) for the NES is the old school title I like (have to get the carts made) and for a modern title, I'm not sure. I like the idea of a round robin set up and brackets. Want to stick with console titles so as to leave the cabs open to the massive amount of pcb love that will be in the house. I have DOJ, ESPgaluda and a bunch of Soldier titles.
Anyone have any ideas?
