Anyone in Montreal area?

Enjoying my first Summer since moving to MTL in August. I know that some of use are in the area. Maybe we can setup a meet of some kind.

MTL has a big enough SF scene, I'm sure enough are into shmups.

This reply is super late, but I live in montreal during the school year (ottawa in the summer), and would totally be down for a meetup. Send me a pm if anything ever gets organized!

heh FINALLY!

I go back and forth between Ottawa and MTL myself.

Doesn't look like anything is going to happen until one of us get a cab or two.

I heard there's an arcade warehouse called alouette out here. If I find anything neat there I'll post it here.

I live in Mtl but I'll be traveling to Japan until mid-september. We could meet up when I'm back!

I'd like to hear about that arcade warehouse, hopefully they have some nice stuff . b0ub0u, I'm definitely up for a meet-up when you get back!

well just got back. It was quite a strange place, in one of many industrial areas by the Ikea.

There's a showroom floor featuring some neat stuff and some more odd games like Big Bertha.... ugh

In the actual warehouse I found a rather beat up looking OK BABY that's been rigged for some kind of poker game. The CP is all buttons, even the top of the cab has 2 buttons on it!

The monitor is claimed to be "new", but the whole thing needs a new paint job, and of course a new CP.

best part? they want $500 for it, lol.


The rest of the warehouse had mostly rotting cabs waiting to die, and place with a bunch of parts and monitors.

The people there were really nice and helpful.... And that's my story!

[bulletcurtain]

huh, so was there anything good on the showroom floor?

[KBZ]

There was a sweet Daytona USA 50" DX Cab. Lucky and Chase. And a bunch of conversions. Nothing else really jumped out.

I believe they make more money selling taiwanese carnival games to various malls or something.
