Zing Zing Zip is probably the right one for the DFK replacement. I have the board as well, but I'll soon be away in Euroland, so its best that you do it spadgy.

I did think that loitering round Casino was a bit of a trek from Manchester, but you never know! ;)

I'll be in tonight at 7.30pm then, but my Zip Zing Zing board isn't with me today.

I might be collecting Turbo Force off of Devil Soundwave in the aracde this evening though, so if the engineer is in, perhaps I could swap that with Dogyuun and get my Dogyuun board back? Only if people want Turbo Force though - I'm equally up for taking it home, so I can play it there.

In fact, I might (I'll decide by tonight) want to take Turbo Force straight home. The wife is obsessed with flying cars, so it might need a little stay at spadgy towers!

Hi boys *waves*. I used to be a Londoner, too, y'know. Yeah, I'm Chi, the original fella here is CHI - big difference :P

In irony of ironies, due to me being crap I still haven't collected my DeathSmiles MBL from my buddy in Ealing, so it could have stayed in Casino all this time after all D:

Great to see you both on Thursday CHI and Taylor. I'm quite happy we've got DDPII now, as I love that game despite it's reputation. Shame DFK is gone though - thanks so much Taylor.

I spoke to the Engineer, and he is off overseas on two trips, so it looks like Dogyuun will go an Zip Zing Zing will replace it.

I took home that PCB I collected on Thursday (Turbo force), and it is a nails hard, amazing game. Crazy power-up system where it powers down as you use the weapon. No bombs for extra laughs...

EDIT: Also - I vow to start coming in more regularly again, so see you next week!

EDIT 2: I mean Zing Zing Zip – not Zip Zip Zing!

Dogyuun needs to go and Tatsujin Oh, not bothering with Dx so that can go. Im glad DDP2 is replacing DFK as that is more a proper skill game than DFK. Wouldn't mind seeing Shienryu, the one which had a blue lightning firepower, red spread shot, and orange missile firepower.

Good to see m0nks and CHI on Thursday. I could have stayed longer too - I didn't realise how early it was.

So, I spoke to m0nks and CHI, and like me they were keen to see Turbo Force come in instead of Zing Zing Zip. I think we should do that, as it's nails hard but still great fun. The game's also got a modestly active high score board on this forum right now.

Any complaints about that thinking?

CHI needs to approach fast and collect some boards off me. I can give him Flying Shark for installation in the arcade or Vasara 2

CHI - Get round my yard sharpish! Collect my shit

Plus you can have my complete Lucifer collection.
