MIDWEST MEGA BLACK LABEL DEATH MEET 11/20

[caldwert]

Gunbird18,
I was thinking you meant 3 hours roundtrip radius. I'm out of it now. So yes, STL is most definitely within the 3 hour radius of Moberly. Just let me know what you're thinking. I'll have to dust the cobwebs off of them.

[gunbird18]

Well, depending on what my family ends up doing, I would really like to come over to STL Friday afternoon and pick up one of your cabs and transport to the man cave. We can then return it on Sunday. I will know more after this weekend.

I will get in contact with the local BBQ joint (pick up only, as Mayme Deans went out of business) and see about what we can order on Saturday. I won't take a donation this time. Just bring a $10 dollar bill with you and I will gather individual orders and we should be able to enjoy some mouth watering BBQ again!

@ninja- I will have to get a hold of brentsg and see what he has in his pcb treasure chest.

[caldwert]

That BBQ you had the first time was very very legit. So that place closed?

Also, I might be bringing more PCB's than first thought. I'm probably going to have to move all my PCB's for a month while we get some home remodeling done. So if I'm moving them, why not bring them by your house first right? Its not like I actually have anywhere to put them, lol. We'll have a PCB Garage Sale right there in Moberly, MO!

[szycag]

I'll be coming to this along with Stuminator! I got the PM about it but it must have slipped my mind, and I haven't been on the forum much lately.

Gunbird, I don't remember what exactly I did to your Wii, but I was wondering about it since it'd be fun to get some Blade Buster caravan going, unless you guys have another score attack game in mind?

[gunbird18]

Yea, szycag!

I think you just put an sd card in the wii and then had several games to choose from. You are welcome to bring whatever you need, and we can enjoy some PCEngine goodness.

I am having a hard time choosing score challenges. There are so many good ideas and games to go with them. I even thought about having a score challenge on some games for my iphone. There are some really good shmups on there.

I have even tossed around the idea of a score challenge on Gigawing. That would be so awesome trying to record those super long digits after somebody is finished with their game! caldwert, do you have Gigawing on CPS2??? If not, we can go with the DC version I guess.

[caldwert]

I no longer own Gigawing on CPS2. Are the KS folks coming again? What abou the Iowa dudes?

[gunbird18]

Yes, stuminator and szycag are going to represent KS again. Crazy kats!!!!

Don't know about the Iowa boys. They may have to stay home and cheer for the Hawkeyes!

I can now comprehend my Guwange score, so Guwange may be the console score challenge, though I still suck at the game. I keep getting sucked into Joker Jun's artwork and I die...

[szycag]

trying to break a million in arcade mode still, ha. i'm actually enjoying the 360 arrange mode more right now... it's way way easier, but i like how the scoring system is blown wide open... coins everywhere, heh

[caldwert]

Ok, so what all does everyone plan on bringing so there's no overlap? I'm sorting through all my crap today and kind of need an idea of what others are planning on bringing. I know matskat is gonna strap his Aero City to the top of his Elantra, it should be ok, he's not going very far

[drunkninja24]

For me, its:

J360 + Shooters + Monitor (shooters are Ketsui, DOJBL, Mushihimesama Futari, Espgaluda II, Deathsmiles II)
NeoGeo CD + Shooters (Sonic Wings 2 & 3, Ironclad, Last Resort)
PS2 w/ shooters (way too many to list here, pretty much every Cave release plus a few others)

[caldwert]

Good to know you're bringing Ironclad. I'm tempted to buy an MVS conversion of it but would like to give it a whirl first. Also, I can leave Aerofighters 2 and 3 MVS at home then. I'll have a list of what I have later tonight hopefully. Currently testing all my PCB's, then relocating them upstairs.

[gunbird18]

I will be in touch with you later, caldwert, for the Astro transport.

I'm glad somebody is bringing the PS2 and ports. I've been jonesing for some Mushihimesama, ever since I sold my JpPS2 and games. The pcb is sooooo expensive...

Bring as much MVS as you can. I only have Metal Slug X. I know you have Demon Front, caldwert, but do you also have Bee Storm? I've been dying to try that out.

Just bring lots of boards. We can sort the console stuff out when it arrives. It usually gets put on the big screen.

[caldwert]

I don't have Bee Storm. Sold it off a long time ago to fund a pinball. Kind of regretting it since it was a fun game, and now you don't see it often, although I think Excellent and those sort of outfits have them in abundance. I will be posting a list later of everything I have since some of it I've kind of forgotten about and my lists in Excel aren't the best anymore.

[drunkninja24]

I'm glad somebody is bringing the PS2 and ports. I've been jonesing for some Mushihimesama, ever since I sold my JpPS2 and games. The pcb is sooooo expensive...

Yeah, I like it. I also recently got an HD Box Pro so I can connect the PS2 to my monitor. It's amazing how much more playable Ibara and Mushi are in 480p

[szycag]

I'm gonna go ahead and bring my Wii for caravan stuff and maybe some other classics. Here's some info about Blade Buster, and I've got Star Soldier R as well. Almost forgot, I've got Twinkle Star Sprites on there too, I know someone mentioned that earlier in the thread!

[drunkninja24]

Nice, I've been playing Dimahoo on MAME the last few weeks, love that game

[stuminator]

My PCB collection hasn't changed much lately:

Strikers trilogy
Dragon Blaze
Dangun Feveron
Gunbird 2
Donpachi
Espgaluda

[gunbird18]

Yeah, Raizing running on CPS2 is a beautiful thing.
The game is brutal, though!

I have 19XX now, so no need to bring that. Maybe just the shmups on MVS.

[gunbird18]

I'm telling you , stu, bring Dangun! I promise it will stay in as long as Game Paradise did last time!

I believe Matskat is bringing Donpachi, so no need to double up on that.

[drauch]

Well, I was gonna bring Windjammers, but it seems Caldwert is bringing the mother load on MVS. Would bringing an extra MVS 1-slot be worth it? Drunkninja has a supergun and we could have two set up at a time if wanted...

I was going to go ahead and bring me PC-Engine Duo-r, even though I have no shmups for it...

[drunkninja24]

I'm telling you , stu, bring Dangun! I promise it will stay in as long as Game Paradise did last time!

I believe Matskat is bringing Donpachi, so no need to double up on that.

Agreed, I gotta play me some Dangun

[caldwert]

drauch, that's just what I have, not necessarily what I'm bringing. Still bring your Windjammers, it will save me bringing something. I actually wasn't planning on taking it. Another 1 slot couldn't hurt.

[caldwert]

Ok, Round 1 of the Jamma stuff I have (there's probably 40-50 PCB's left to dig out and test), just let me know if you're interested in me bringing anything:

[drboom]

Bummer news for me but I will not be able to attend! Had some family stuff creep up and have to go take care of it this weekend. I will be there with you all in spirit!

[gunbird18]

Okay,

We have three cancels, but no worries! I am still planning on hosting this weekend! We can still make a go of it with all of the boards, consoles, and pinball machines. More fun than most people can handle!

We shall certainly miss having the Chicago posse with us, but hopefully we can attend drboom's meet and beat him at a few of his score challenges!

Please let me know if there are any other possible cancellations so I can let everyone know and they won't have to forfeit all of their hard work for nothing at the last minute.

Looking forward to this weekend!

[caldwert]

I'm still in, still testing PCB's, still going "oh yeah, I own this!"

[drauch]

drauch, that's just what I have, not necessarily what I'm bringing. Still bring your Windjammers, it will save me bringing something. I actually wasn't planning on taking it. Another 1 slot couldn't hurt.

Alrighty, sounds good. Please bring the D&D games!

[caldwert]

Ok, I will put that on the list of stuff to bring. I have one giant box of PCB's left to test. Forgot some of the stuff I own. I'm still thinking 4 cabs plus 1 supergun will be most excellent.
